    For Those With Grills On Their Trailerable Smoker Rigs...

    Thanks icruzen. I know some folks love that Weber Ranch kettle but I'm with you, I just can't see the cost per square inch ratio. I'm as big a Weber kettle fan as there is but if I did that I think I'd go with 2 or 3 22.5 inchers and save a ton of money. J

    Check out this BEAST

    I'd want to fire it up first and see how it heated up. May be just the pic but it looks like the firebox is a little on the small side given how big the cooking chamber is. I've cooked on a friend's cooker that looks similar and it's a battle when the firebox isn't big enough. J

    For Those With Grills On Their Trailerable Smoker Rigs...

    Thinking I want to have the ability to grill on the smoker trailer I'm building. Maybe something like this http://pigroast.com/model80deluxe.htm I think I'm going to have a warmer box above the firebox so a grill over the firebox is probably out. Question for those that have a grill on their...

    Bigger Capacity Cooker & Versatility - Help Me Think It Through - Lang Twins?

    Question for the board here. I'd like to have a cooker that would let me cook for 250 people or so. Obviously, that's a pretty big cooker. But there are plenty of times, when the group I'll cook for would be more like 25 or 35 people. For you folks with big cookers, am I right in thinking...

    Looking for a "big boy smoker"

    Great looking rig. Dumb question on the Lang cookers - how does the smoke travel from firebox to chimney? I know the meat cooking at the far end of the cooking chamber away from the firebox gets smoke but how exactly does it travel there and back to exit out the chimney close to the firebox? J

    Pitmaster Help - Compare / Contrast Vertical and Horizontal?

    Hi Folks, Thought I'd ask here and get some opinions. I've cooked for the last 5 years of so with an offset Oklahoma Joe's. Something similar to this http://www.hawgeyesbbq.com/20rdlg.jpg I like it a lot and it's worked well. Mainly pork shoulder burning hickory. But I'm looking to go with a...
