Well, we finally got a break in the weather....had a nice day so planned out a big cook. (Mistake #1).
Figured I'd cook a pork butt, couple racks of ribs, a whole chicken, sausage, some burgers and beans.
This isn't my first cook on a Lang...owned one for 6 years and sold it about 5 years...
There is a youtuber Tyronne Matthew's that charges $230 to have him cook a brisket for you.
You have to understand the time it takes to purchase, trim, prepare and cook for 16 hours. ...and that doesn't include shipping.
What's your time worth?
An 18lb prime brisket is $60...by the time it's...
I'm still trying to figure out catering legal requirements....lol...between the mandatory class, the test and the yearly license, it costs a frigging fortune for anyone to do small side gigs on weekends.
You guys suck the life out of my bank account.....🤣🤣
Bought LEM Stuffer, meat mixer...to go along with grinder...
And yet...no one answered the question I asked....lol
Looks great! ..... a stick burner is not for everyone.....if you don't want to tend your fire every 40 minutes, it's really not for you....so a more set it and forget it is better for some.
For me, I wanted to get as close to old time BBQ as I could get....that's where the excitement is for...
While waiting for the Lang Smoker to arrive, I gave thought to making my own sausage.....sort of went back and forth on it.....Well, I would up buying an Amazon Fohere grinder ..... well...my buddy who hangs out on sausage forums told me to return it and buy a "real" grinder..... He showed me...
yep...I did that..... my store is Metro Market....another Kroger chain. Like I said....both apps are aware the other app exists....but like I said, in the Kroger app it gives me a popup button to click metro market app...I do that and get a popup on the metro market app telling me to click on...
Man...I tried this but it didn't work.....Kroger app says open other app, I do that and other app says open Kroger app and so on and so on......wish it would have worked for me.
Correct
The video in the post above suggests water pan to avoid burning while cooking high temp.....but also wrapping pre stall where the water pan will have ZERO effect on your meat...and if you wrap pre stall, there is little chance of burning meat.
..very confusing theology.
Yes. Stall is no big deal...unless you want to go to bed but have to wait until the fat renders to pull....so yes...if time has no bearing on your life, knock yourself out.
People wrap for a reason....to push through a stall......
Personally, I use no pan, but don't wrap either....million ways...
Some before and after pictures of seasoning and steam cleaning the new Lang BBQ Pit:
I did it a little backwards this time...
I sprayed it out with water, brushed it out with steel brush to loosen rust, then rinsed. Then fired up the cooker....got it to 200 degrees to dry it out, then applied...
It was good info....he really went far into why you really don't need water pans, then shifted to it's better with them and then never really explained HOW the food will be better with a water pan...just that it will avoid burning in "high heat". That's what I got out of it....he also did not...
I had a Lang for 5 years. Never saw a need for it. Dry Wood carries 20% moisture...unlike charcoal. Water pan also takes up valuable real estate in the smoker. Yes, a pit will have variation side to side as it nears firebox, but also bottom to top. Just learn your smoker and you'll have great food.
