I have a Lang 60 deluxe and love it.It will do everything that Ben Lang Say's it will,and then some. Yes you do have to tend to an off set smoker but that's not all bad either.You will still have plenty of time for family and friends or make other side dishes, cut the grass , wash the car , or just sit around and have a few cold ones.There is several thing I would recommend if you get a stick burner.One is get the warmer box.It comes in handy to cook sides extra meat, and I use it to heat up my next few pieces of wood so they lite up easier with less smoke. Also I say get at least one size larger than what you originally wanted because next thing you know you wish you had a little more for some extra ribs,turkey breast, etc.Of coarse that is if you can afford it and have the space for it.What ever you get good smoking and if you have any question you know there is lots of folks here to help.
