Ahoy, sir! I have hit a point in life where tending the fire in the Lonestar offset has become a challenge. I wanted a unit that could be set and forget as well as offsett like. The Old Country, Gravity Fed Smoker, fits the bill due largely to this video and the aftermarket items you suggested. First cook is behind me and the Thermopro billows fan is something else (brisket is comparable to anything I've cooked in The Lonestar with splits)... Ash pan, thermometer, and especially the wheels, great calls. Thank you for taking time out of your day to share.

@@georgekipp4766 thanks so much!! It’s a great smoker, glad you’re enjoying it! I agree, very comparable to an offset without the babysitting 🔥

I have had a Masterbuilt 1050 for years, but a storm blew it over and it has died. What I loved about the MB is that I could get it up to 600 or 700 degrees. How hot can this Old Country get? I mostly smoke, but do enjoy reverse searing steaks and doing burgers at 300-400 as well. 😊

[@DiamondLBBQ]

This thing is built like a tank compared to the MB but I do have to say it is mainly just a smoker not a grill. I would guess you could get it up to 450ish, but I keep my Big Green Egg right next to it and use that for my grilling/reverse searing.

Same story with my 800. thinking about getting the XT, but they're hard to find right now and 1500 bucks.

@@doluseb the Old Country is amazing and built like a tank, you will be very happy with it. I only wish it had more cooking space inside is the only real complaint I have.

Hey Diamond L, what’s the advantages of the Fire fan?

[@DiamondLBBQ]

So you can run it with the ball valve to control temp, but the fan gets it up to temp in about 15-20 minutes instead of natural airflow into the ball valve which would take an hour or more. The fan gets it to temp super quick, and if you do overnight cooks gives you peace of mind to hold a steady temp.

I bought the tel tru from your link and I got it, it doesn’t come with any kind of locking nut for the inside of the smoker, did you have to get your own from the hardware store or do you just thread it into the door and don’t need a nut?

[@DiamondLBBQ]

@@reltius2993 I just threaded it into the door and didn’t need to use a nut. 👍

[@reltius2993]

@@DiamondLBBQthanks much I plan on picking mine up this week

[@reltius2993]

i ordered most of your recommended accessories. for the casters, can you re-use the existing hardware for them or did you have to get new stuff?

[@DiamondLBBQ]

Right on! Luckily you can use the existing hardware, an easy plug and play for changing them right out. I tried 4" casters at first but the 6" casters in the video are the best! You'll love the smoker!
