Just took a few pics while I was out checking temp. The lang maintains like a champ 2 hours stable with no extra wood. Had a little problem getting up to 300 in the cold so I just ran an air hose out from my compressor and blew in some extra dry air.



looks like they forgot some paint


First time all wood how does the smoke look?


Thought I would throw these in too.
 
Nice pics!! Love the smoker and the wheels!

Oh yea and the dogs. Funny I took some pics of my dogs while I was smoking this weekend just havent gotten around to posting them yet....
 
That looks like a great smoker, I only wish the ole lady would let me get one.

It was kind of a graduation gift to myself.

Forgot to mention the white and brown spotted one is my American bull dog Layla and the full brown devil is my sisters Rhodesian ridgeback Brooklyn

Looks great! I wish mine had those wheels!!

You should be able to get that baby up to 500 no problem cold or not:-) Make sure when you are ramping up that your chimney damper is full open,(usually is full open all the time anyway), keep the firebox door ajar, all vents open, and the food door ajar(left handle closed before closing door keeps it 1 inch from closed position), with a fire roaring and plenty of fuel you can grill this way with excellent results, but most of all, this is the way to bring her up to temp, then just close all the doors, and back off 3 of your 4 the vents and tune the fourth as neccessary, with your firebox nice and hot full of coals you will be able to maintain 235 all day with minumal effort:-)

Nice machine!!! I know you will be cooking tomorrow:-)

I know what the problem is now, it was a few things. I had the cooking door closed and then closed the fire box a little too early, when the temp in the cooking chamber reached around 230. Also the wood I was using was a little under sized, between 18-12†long and only about 1-1.5†thick. Some birch I pick up to cure it.

And sadly no I wonâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t be cooking tomorrow I have a nice 12hr shift that might be cut short because of the freezing rain and more snow we will be getting. I am hoping to at least make some jerky Wednesday if not the two butts I have sitting in the fridge.

Yeah, you really have to load it up at first to build the coals up. Takes a few minutes to get all the steel blasted with heat, then its pretty easy!!!

We have a foot of snow coming tonight----I am sick of removing it, we are approaching ten feet for the year so far!!!

OK, I only have an ecb so I am definitely not knowledgeable on offsets ... but is it common to have the firebox and the chimney stack on the same side? It seems most other pictures I have seen have them on opposite sides so that the smoke goes through the cooking chamber.
 
Fig the Lang is a reverse flow smoker, heat/ smoke travel under a plate to the opposite end of cooking chamber, up and then back down to the other end to draft out through the stack.
hope that helps

10 FEET?????

Steve I am a career paramedic here in Maryland. We have had maybe a total of 6 inches for the year so far. when we get 2 inches of snow on the ground these people have multiple accidents. lol if we had 10 feet, this place would shut down !!!
