Trailer Pits for Competitive BBQ: What the Pros Look For

Every detail matters when you enter the world of competitive BBQ. The pros know you have to choose the right equipment to succeed.

Start scouring the BBQ forums, and you'll see LSG grills coming up again and again. We're one of the premier choices for competitive grill chefs everywhere. Here are some of the features our customers tell us they look for when choosing a grill, features that have led them to work with and recommend our equipment. 

Vertical Cabinet Smokers

True pros know that the magic of BBQ is in cooking low and slow, but some cooks can take up to 20 hours to complete. Pros like sleeping as much as they like grilling.

That's why pros love the vertical cabinet smoker option from Lone Star Grillz. They can put 20-30 pounds of coal into the smoker with some wood chunks and trust it to stay at temperature for 24-30 hours. The air valve helps them manage the temperature. 

Plenty of Space

Many competitions require you to cook pound after pound of meat, which means you need plenty of space and plenty of options. This is especially true if you're a competitor who needs to show off several different styles of BBQ. 

Heat Control

Heat control is the name of the game if you want a perfect cook. That's why pros love the thick steel walls and perfect insulation that we add to every Lone Star Grill. 

Mobility and Durability

You want to be able to transport your set-up without worrying that it'll get damaged in the process. Well-built trailer pits can handle the bumps and vibrations of the road without sacrificing the integrity of the equipment.

Quality wheels, a sturdy frame, and a secure mount all ensure the equipment arrives at the competition site intact and ready to go. 

Trailer pits should also be a long-term investment, so you want to know they're built with quality craftsmanship capable of making it over the long haul. Our trailer pits are designed to deliver quality results for decades!
