hi
i'm looking at getting a used 36 Lang and was curious how much food can you fit in one ??

thanks
Jerry
 
Try the Lang website...a bevy of info there...depends on model...but the basic 36":

The 36" smoker cooker has 6 cubic feet of cooking space and hold approximately 60-72 pounds of food with room to spare. This size allows for a whole piglet (approximately 35-45 pounds) to be smoked. Approximately 6-8 full racks of ribs can be smoked at a time.
 
I have a Lang 36 & it's a great smoker, but if I had the room I would have bought the 48 Patio model.
Just because I would like the extra room in the smoker.
That being said I have never needed the extra room!
Go figure!

see that was my worry that maybe i should look for a 48
roughly what can the 36 hold ??
 
I just got this off of Craigslist, it a 36 stretch 4 years old, poorly taken care of full of creosote and dried grease. You may have take what you can get used. I’ve been looking for a year this was first one in my area fir a longtime.

Honestly, I don't know how much you can fit in there.
I have never filled it up.
If you call Lang or visit their website I think they can tell you.
I'm pretty sure I saw a video of Ben Lang saying how much meat would fit in one.

I just sold a lang 36 and i was able to get 30# of check legs comfortably. i also on a different smoke, 7 racks of spares. and i have have gotten 4 pork butts on the top rack alone probably could get 4-5 more on the bottom. (8# butts) herer are some pics that will show different smokes filling it up...

Phatbac,
Love the 48! I've been cooking on one for 10 months now. What an amazing rig. Worth every penny.

I ordered the 36" and two days later find the order changed to 46" and wheel kit. It all came down to honestly, room.

Nice pictures. Just reassured me that 3 weeks ago when I called Lang to change my order from a 36" to the 48" man what a good call that was.

I'm making a trip out of it. Lang is about 6 hour drive from me. Going to hook-up the trailer and make a road trip out of it. Lang isn't open on Saturday. That's the only day I can pickup but Ben himself said he would meet me. They have made it a great experience so far.
And yes, I am a grown kid waiting for santa on Christmas morning.
 
Congrats on the smoker purchase. That is real nice of Ben to meet you on Sat for pick up
