    Grant BBQ Fest

    This Saturday is the Grant BBQ Fest on the east coast of Florida. I've been to this several times, always a fun day and tons of good BBQ. I like walking around and sampling the ribs from as many of the teams that I can. I know this is a long drive for most of you but, if you're close enough...

    Lang 48 or 60

    The 48 has been fine for me, so far I've never needed more smoker for 20 people or less and don't think I ever will. You just need to think about the largest possible crowd you'll be cooking for. Even the 48 has two levels of grates, top rack is removeable if you're cooking tall things like beer...

    A question about the Lang model 48 Patio

    You're going to lke the Lang! I did a lot of research before buying mine and couldn't find any one who didn't love thier Lang. I'd have to agree with the others, it cooks great and is very easy. I know I live closer to Nahunta, Ga. than you do but, if you can, I'd suggest trying a road trip...

    Ok Florida smokers...

    Well, I'm wet but still alive here on the east coast. I hope every one else on the east coast is ok. People in other parts of the state wouldn't believe how much rain we've had here. The storm stalled just north of me and we are getting dumped on big time. Lots of flooding around Melbourne and...

    Lang's "3rd generation" smokers!!

    Thanks BC! That was nice of you! I found a source of wood Friday. Picked up a truck load Saturday. Let me know if you want any oak. One of the local tree services has a large pile of split oak. I'm in Melbourne BC.

    1st hurricane for FL? Time to prep!

    Good thread Sumo! My family has been in Florida for generations so, I learned early that the time to start preparing for a storm is right after the last one that came through. My parents had what I think is a great plan for food, I've been doing now for many years and it really came in handy in...

    My First ABT's!

    Looks yummy! I haven't made any ABTs since the government started the rumor that Japs might be bad. Yours sure got me wanting more, may have to try a different pepper. Thanks for the Qview!

    Soooo It's Thursday.....

    My mom loves country style pork ribs and they were on sale this week so, the smoke gods seemed to be pointing me in that direction. I'll get every thing ready to go Saturday and then get up early Sunday morning and start the smoke. Mom will be over around 2:00 to enjoy her ribs.

    Lang's "3rd generation" smokers!!

    IMHO In a reverse flow smoker I doubt that the difference between flat ends and curved ends would have a noticeable effect on smoking. If any one owns a curved end smoker and wants to do a side by side comparison, come on over. I'll supply the beer, we can sit out back and test away.

    Lang's "3rd generation" smokers!!

    You are very lucky indeed to have such a supply of wood. I'm having problems trying to find enough good smoking wood, at least at a cost that I can afford. My area of Florida is mostly pine and palm trees, I can ocassionally get oak if some one cuts one down or a storm blows it over but thats...
