    Lang Smokers vs. other Top of The Line Smokers

    OMG ... never owner either and goes after defending one over the other. The Lang is a quality build with a solid design. Buy both, become and expert and we Might listen although you have lost credibility at this point.

    Lang Smokers vs. other Top of The Line Smokers

    If the tool/smoker does the same job at 1/2 the price but doesn't have welds that you consider 'pretty' .... who the hell cares. Stop trying to force everyone from justifying your expensive purchase and take it as you bought what YOU wanted and was right for you and realize it might not be right...

    Lang Smokers vs. other Top of The Line Smokers

    I have a lang 36 patio, i looked at the Meadow Creek T260 but felt that the cost and size were not suitable. The lang 36 has 931 sq in of cooking space compared to 756 in the TS60. The material was 3/16" steel versus 1/4" with weights of 602 lbs vs 425. The lang seems much more substantial, I...

    Hello from nebraska.

    Welcome from western NY. A lot of good people on this site .... btw , pork shoulders/ butts will just about always stall at 160-170'ish and can hang there for hours. Best to let it go... I usually foil it at that temp as it seems to speed the process up although purists would cringe :) Welcome !

    Lang Owners

    I've cooked 2 packers so far on my Lang, one at 225-250F and the other via Myron Mixon Hot and Fast method at 350F. Both came out good with the H&F method winning out.  What temperature did you cook it at ? When I do the 225-250F (on my cook shack and once on the Lang) method I usually foil at...

    Lang Owners

    I see where you are coming from, my CS is not a FEC100 (I only wish). I have a very small Sm025 Cook Shack. It only has a temperature range of 140-300. It is very easy to use, set it and forget almost. The CS has an annoying 'flaw' . When you put wood in the firebox it lets off some very harse...

    Lang Owners

    I just got a lang 36" patio about 1 1/2 months ago ... I also have a Cookshack. While the CS is easier (set and forget) the final product does not compare with the Lang. I also picked up an electric BOSS 5 ton log splitter and split my wood small, less then or equal to a beer can diameter. If...
