@Dantij, how big is the water pan your running? I agree with the comments about it not needing to be 225 to be good, when the meat probe says it’s done, it’s done. I think next cook I’ll let it get up to 300 and then add the meats and try to manage a smaller fire and see how that does.

Thanks for the advice. something else I noticed with my 36 patio is it runs pretty even left to right up to about 250 on the lower rack and door gauge which is 290/300 on top shelf. If the fire gets too big I start seeing splits between sides on upper and lower level. i think fire management...

So here is my temp spread with no meat on and 225 on the Lang gauge on door. Seems reasonable from a left to right perspective. probes 1/2 are top left and top right Probes 3/4 are bottom left and bottom right any tricks to get the top to run a bit lower than 300 while trying to hold the 225...

Forgot to add, ribs were a 5-6 hour cooks and the butt was on 15 hours.

did my first cook over the weekend 3 racks of ribs on upper rack and a 10 pound Boston butt on bottom. Turned out great. only thing I’m noticing is my door gauge never showed higher than 260’or so during cook but my maverick showed 225 bottom rack left side 285 bottom right side. Top left was...

Well just got off the phone with Ben and lucky me they had a truck leaving for the mid Atlantic/NE tomorrow and squeezed me in. 36 patio on the way with stainless grates. Can’t wait! so a regular charbroil cover for 72” works even with the wrap around shelves and stack?

No 36 patio owners on this forum?

I was kind of wondering about the actual size of the grates too as I’m looking at the same unit. Lang’s claims it will hold 70lbs of meat for a cook. I’m also wondering what it looks like configured with bottom pull out rack, been told it’s a option.

I did look at them early on, nice units for sure. 9-10 weeks for the models I was considering so took them off the list.

Yeah I’m in PA so will be buying sight unseen and basing much of my research off of the various forums and YouTube vids. No doubt the Shirley is a nice unit but the shipping just takes it to another level. I have heard that Lang went to a different finish at some point in the last couple years...

I’ve been looking for a while and it has come down to Lang, Pits by JJ and Shirley. I think I ruled Shirley out on the shipping quote I got of $850 . Over $400 more than the shipping from the other two. Have to draw the line somewhere on the budget.

I unfortunately am not a supporter of Facebook so that is a no go.

Anyone with a newer build that can comment on over fit and finish of paint and welds and any issues? Anyone add any options that are worthwhile? I’m wanting the lower racks to pullout, anyone have any photos of this?
