Very informative. Perhaps your next could be comparing the benefits of barrel, vs the cabinets, vs the vertical vs the 20s.

Enjoyed the lesson on the differences in your fireboxes. My 1/4" works perfectly down here in Mississippi, but I do like that 1/2" griddle vs the 1/4" griddle. May upgrade to that at some point.

Great explanation Chris. I got the ½” box and it holds the temps beautifully here in Spring, TX. Coming up on a year now and I'm still giddy about my Lone Star Grill 😍😍😍!

OH My Goodness 1/2" FIRE BOX that insane! I LOVE IT

I have ordered my 24“48“ 1/2 firebox...to Germany...seems the right decision

Great info, that was a really helpful explanation on the differences.

Thank you for the detailed explanation! Should help when I’m financially ready to order one!

Great video, appreciate the info on the fire boxes. Thanks

Congrats on 5,000 subscribers! Big milestone!

Nice video Chris thanks for the info Much love from Philly!

Such a good tutorial! I want one!

When I’m in the position to order, I need the 1/2 in for sure. It being a huge investment, I can’t have the thinner box burn out.

Quality goes in before the name goes on. One day I’ll own one. Amazing pits.

Thanks Chris!

Going with a 1/2 in and placing an order this summer hopefully. Wife and I are making a trip to Texas for a mini vacation and we will stop at your place Chris one way or the other.

Awesome video! BUT, I can't be the only one that looked at this video like a kid seeing Disney World for the first time!!! I just want to go cook on everything thin there! lol

Looking at your 24x48 offset, 1/2 vs 1/4 in box is my dilemma . I'm cooking in FL so I am sure 1/4 is fine but that 1/2 is pretty boss ! Thanks for the video .

Do you guys make any reverse flow models

Because of the double walled steel, I wonder if the insulated fire box is a lot more expensive

Finally ordered my smoker! Cant wait for it to be done! Definitely taking a trip down there to pick it up

I was curious if you opt for the 1/4" you mentioned that it can last a lifetime. My question is how do you recommend treating the inside from rust. I know some use oil like a cast iron skillet. Typically a firebox is the weakest link in a smoker's longevity.

That really helps when making your fire box selection. I want to have more information on the warmer box. I wondering if I can get the warmer oven temperatures up high enough to bake bread?

lonestargrillz - I'm curious as to why you don't make a version with an insulated 1/2 " box with the Gill / Griddle on top as well.

Does it take longer for the smoker to get to temp (225/250) with the 1/2” box vs the 1/4? I’m assuming yes, but once there, less temp fluctuation?

How much is the half inch fire box. I can’t find the prices any where

Can you use a charcoal basket in your fire box instead of just using splits ?

Nice video Chris really helpful in my decision to order a pit, With as much as these pits cost (and I believe they are worth it) you guys need to spend a little of that money on better mic's and sound production for your videos, sorry just my 2 cents but the lack of sound quality really makes it hard to to hear some of the info.

In Chicago Il , where can I by the grill

Great video but it would be even better with some kind of audio device for better audio ..the info you share is such valuable but the sound is not bringing your content to shine ..just my 2 cents

a $35 lapel/directional mic would be great and much appreciated. great info and video otherwise

Didn't know Philip Rivers sold smokers. He needs to though with all those kids.
