My take on the Lone Star Grillz: My initial take was a Yoder derivative - HD materials, built like a tank. There does not appear to be the use of any thin less expensive materials. No skimping there.
The downside, as with Yoder would be rust. As with Yoder, the rust would take years to do any structural damage.
The instructions are the best I have ever seen. To me, it shows how much these people know and care about their product. That is a major plus!
Made in the USA: Excellent. Keeps business @ home and should make finding parts if ever required, easier.
Some things to think about: 450º max heat. It could mean heat recovery may be slow?
The smoke stack damper. If it could be closed 100%, it could cause problems.. Expanded metal grates are harder to
clean than round bar grates. The expanded metal bottom shelf once rust takes hold, could be hard to restore. The "ball valve" as part of the grease drain system could end up as problematic, accelerated by cold
weather.
As with anything new, growing pains are inevitable. I am confident the company would correct deficiencies both by updating the design and supporting the customers.
The cold smoke and charcoal features could be handy for some. I wouldn't use them as tiebreakers from a purchasing point.
This pit has a very positive air about it..If the shoe fits....
Hope this helps a bit.
