    Great job Rus!! It really does not surprise me that the offset has more smoke flavor than the pellet grill. A split of woods as it burns releases a lot more gases to really boost that smoky flavor compared to a compressed sawdust pellet. But I completely agree with Derrick that the LSG Pellet Grill has way more smoky flavor than any of the other pellet grills that I have owned. You certainly put the work in to this cook!! Thanks for sharing!!

    Thanks Rus, great video. You are right about the smoke always coming out of the stack on the LSG pellet. I did a small chicken with mine last weekend and there was smoke coming out of the stack while it was running at 350, unheard of for a pellet grill. The clean smoke from the burning wood in the offset is hard to beat but the LSG pellet is coming pretty close.

    First off, roll dang tide! I’ve had my first pellet smoker (I never use it as a grill) for about a year and have a few observations. Except after initial start up my pellet smoker doesn’t produce smoke the way your Lone Star did. It burns pretty clean but according to other chefs you want clean smoke. Also my pellet smoker runs much hotter than its thermostat indicates. Using a third party, and reliable, thermometer my smoker runs 30 to 50 degrees hotter. I noticed for my first few cooks the meat reached temp much sooner and it turned out dryer than expected. I’ve got a Grilla Grills Silverbac but may look at the Lone Star down the road. Always looking for more smoke flavor without the hassle of an offset. Enjoyed your video.

I do inject it and let it sit overnight, but I'd like to kick it up a notch and I'd like to see if you can come up with something to make it more moist and juicier with some great cajun flavors. I really hope you take on this challenge and look forward to your future videos!!!

I can't wait to receive my LSG 20x42 offset, which is now finally being fabricated. You're the one that got me interested in LSG smokers, way back when you got your offset.

    Just a thought, letting the judges hear the other judges thoughts can influence their take. It happens. Blind taste testing, separate from other influences is the way to go. Also choking the offset down may have countered your natural/best smoking practices. Lastly, the BBQ cook is often subjected to enough smoke that it dulls his/her senses of the smokiness of the product. A shower, and change of clothes after the cook, can often refresh the olfactory senses. JMHO, Love the video and effort Russ!

IMO there is really something about a well seasoned grill/smoker.. I’ve owned 6 pellet smokers and others over the years and my original Traeger is still pushing out some solid Q, and every time I get a new unit in I’m disappointed in that first cook. But eventually they do better of course.. Also, I firmly believe that your taste buds are completely stoned after 9 hours in the smoke 🤣🤣

Low temp for just for the smoke for about the 1st 3-4 hrs then take it out and finish the pork with pellets. That will give you a lot more smoke on those butts...... if that's what you like lol....

    What I'd like to see is a comparison between the Pellet Grill and the Insulated Vertical (assuming you still have that Mini) with a FireBoard 2 Drive / fan... so it would basically be two pits, each thermostatically controlled with FireBoard technology, and engineered by the same company, so the comparison should in theory get much closer to charcoal and wood versus pellets being the only variable. I've heard those Insulated Verticals with about a 60% / 40% charcoal to wood ratio get damn close to offset flavor but with the ease of a pellet grill. Also thought that fly was on my monitor 😅

    I don’t know! There’s just something about a pellet smoker that just takes the bbq out of bbq for me. I can’t do the press a button and walk away method. It’s just not for me! I’ve heard for fish and cheese pellets are really good, but for everything else I just stick with the offset and my ice cold beer! Cheers! Great vid!

    Nice video Russ, well as is customary, on your channel, I just have a couple of questions, 1- Between both grills, which is more versatile when cooking according to your knowledge 2- For this Butt, how many bags of pellets did you use? Here obviously the manufacturing quality of both grills is not discussed, that is above all they are of excellent quality...Thanks for sharing

    I probably used 10 pounds of pellets on the cook. I would say the pellet grill is the most versatile since it also has a cold smoke function. Both pits can grill, bake, or smoke meat. The offset requires tending to the fire, and the pellet grill does not. Fill up the hopper with pellets. Press a button and dial the temp in. Just that simple. Also has a really nice app from Fireboard where you can make temp adjustments, program presets, monitor, and shut down all from your phone and it's WiFi. So the pellet wins on most versatile hands down.

    Taste them agin the next day. As you said your were exposed to the smoke all day. I recently did a rotisserie chicken on my Kamado. And thought it was good when I first cooked it. The next day after work I did some refrigerator raiding and wow was a big difference in my opinion the second pass.

    Yes, absolutely and I normally don't wrap my pork butts, but I knew I was running out of daylight and people were going to start showing up for the taste test, so I ramped the heat up to 275° and wrapped to accelerate the cook time. 5 hours did put a nice smoke on them however.

    Good video, Russ. I have noticed on my pellet grill (which is an inexpensive; more common one), that the only time I see that "thin blue smoke" is for a minute or two after opening the door - essentially while its heating back up after a significant drop in temp. I figured that was how Lone Star Grills would get more smoke; however, intuitively that would mean a less efficient burn. I wonder how the fuel efficiency is effected by the continual changes in feed rate?

    If u cook on that pellet cooker for 6 months to a year to get it seasoned. It will most likely cook just like the stick burner. And yes I have the Lone Star Grillz pellet myself. It's a huge difference between it and other pellet cookers. That thing never quit smoking. 😂 Do the same cook In a year on both of them and then test difference. Great job on a cook by the way.

    For there to be a really close flavor profile knowing the pellet smoker is way newer without years of cooks and seasoning, I am impressed. The only way to due a true comparison is to have two brand new units that have just been seasoned and do the first cook simlutaneously. That is of course for the purists and not economically sound or needed. With that said I can say that with time the pellet unit should develop the same flavor as the offset.

    I consider myself to be more old school. I have a lone star offset that I'm very happy with. I like cooking over real wood and managing the fire. I will consider a pellet grill when I am too old to manage a real fire. To me a pellet grill is pretty much an Easy-Bake oven. Set the timer and forget about it. I will give you that it is convenient, but nothing beats cooking over real wood and managing the fire manually. Just my two cents though, I ain't hating!!

    Great video. I know there's a lot of interest in the pellet world on whether the Lone Star Grillz Pellet Smoker would deliver. Seems it has. Also I love fireboard, I run a fireboard with a blower on my kamado and it's excellent both in all the features, the amazing app and web app, as well as temperature control on the Kamado. So it seems the Lone Star Grills Pellet Grill infuses a bit more smoke flavor than most others? How would you compare it's smoke flavor to a Kamado grill or other charcoal + wood smoker?

    The consensus was more smoke flavor from the offset smoker but right away a couple of your testers said it was also drier including your wife who said the pellet grill version was more moist. Me personally I enjoy a bit of smoke flavor but can’t stand still tasting the smoke hours after a meal. Thinking of replacing my 7yr old GMG pellet grill soon and I live close to LSG so I could pick one up and save a ton on shipping. It’s either the pellet grill or one of their 20 x 42 offsets.

    My body has offset is barbecue always has a dirty smoke flavor. My family and my self all have sensitive palettes towards over smoked product. Everything turns out from the pellet grill so wonderfully, I run the silver back from Grilla grills. I normally burn Smoke Ring oak, hickory cherry. Once in a while, my sister complains about too much smoke not very often. Usually the complaint comes from chicken being too smoky or pork being too smoky never beef. My personal preference has been the pellet grill for about seven years now. I would love to have an offset, but I really don’t think it’s necessary. I get enough smoky flavor to please everyone in my family. I just think that certain splits with an outside bark of the tree give a dirty smoke flavor. I’ve noticed when cooking from my friends offset that if we get good, clean wood center splits, the barbecue does taste a little better to me.
