Re: Ordered a Gator Pit
Congrats..... Now go make your first (of many) changes and upgrade to a (minimum) 14" shelf. You'll be wishing you did when the sheet pan - full of meat - falls on the ground.
Oh yeah.... and post up some pics.

big demand for them dudes
If I had the green light I would have to go LoneStargrillz, not only for price but no way I could wait that long
with that said, never heard of anyone regretting the wait, once it was done....only regrets are folks getting a 20" instead of a 24" diameter, too small a shelf, etc., etc.......

Re: Ordered a Gator Pit
It's rough 
, but VERY much worth the wait! I have a 12" shelf on both sides, which is the very minimum I would recommend. I was limited by the width of the trailer, but it works just fine. I'm thankful for the extra shelf in the back to work on for sure. 
Congrats again on your order, Ripper!
