I can tell you a bit about temp variences between the horizontal and the vertical sides, mine ran about 50* difference on the Lyfe Tyme gauges, but only about 25-30* on oven thermometers. There was about 10-15* difference from shelf to shelf(mine had 3 shelves and a sausage hanger on the vert side). Keeping the temp wasn't hard at all, the metal was thick enough on the mobile to hold temp very well. I used the access door to clean out the grease, never made a fire in there. I can give you a contcat who can make a cover for you to match that pit, I never had a cover, and only had a rust issue on the firebox, but that is to be expected. I dont think you will regret getting a Lyfe Tyme if thats what your interested in, I liked it ALOT. Good luck |
Sweet, thanks for the feedback DaHorns! Hook em!
What kind of stuff did you cook in the vertical section? I'm almost convinced.  I always wanted to smoke cheeses (my favorite food nect to BBQ) so maybe in the winter the vertical section would be awesome for this?

To be honest with ya, I cooked just about everything on the vertical side. I have done brisket (when it was more than 3), started my chickens over there and finished on the "hot side", cooked all of my ribs on the vert side, sausage, ABT's, armadillo eggs, stuffed chicken thighs, etc.....
Im tellin' ya man, its definitly worth the $$$, and I think you will be happy with it. Very versitile......If you have any other questions about it, please feel free to ask, I will answer everything I can.

I'm convinced, the vertical seems very versatile. Thanks for the info DaHorns. I'm going to take the plunge and get the one with the additional vertical section. Next month is a 3 paycheck month for me so I'm going to delay till then so it doesn't sting so much.
DaHorns, could you PM me the contact info about a cover???
Thanks for everyones advice. I'll take some pics of the before and after upgrade once I get it.
