    Ordered a new smoker today.....A Lang 48 Patio!

    I also went form a Wrangler to a Lang 48 patio, you will absolutely love it, and there is so much extra space. I find the Lang runs best between 250-275, but the temps are much easier to control, and the firebox side will still be hotter. And keep your exhaust open fully all the time, except...

    Old Country BBQ Pits Wrangler Smoker Review

    You will just have to experiment with the placement, but obviously the plates get farther apart the closer you get to the stack.

    New Smoker, need opinions, Bubba vs Custom Pits & Fabrication of GA

    Check out Cauble's Custom Fabrications LLC, he's in Salisbury, NC and makes some really nice stuff. He has a facebook page that shows a lot of his stuff, and he's also a member on here. I've seen his posts in the Reverse Flow build section.

    Cooking temp in a lang 36

    I have a 48 patio and I find that I'm getting the same results as you are as far as temps. I kinda prefer the higher temps as I find that the extra heat gets the reverse flow plate hot so it sears the fat drippings better than in the 225ish range. You will still get great results either way.

    Need Immediate Help! Talk me out of a Lang 36 Original Patio smoker.

    That's what I was saying before. Always go a bit bigger than what you think you will need. I learned the hard way.

    should I fix what I have or get a Horizon? or Lang

    I looked at the Horizon units at Bass Pro and liked it very much. The 16 looks very small to me, and I would have run out of room very quickly. You won't go wrong by getting a slightly bigger model, and the amount of wood you would use over the 16" version is negligible, considering how well the...

    Need Immediate Help! Talk me out of a Lang 36 Original Patio smoker.

    I say just go ahead and get it, or look for a used one to help justify the purchase. Lang makes a great smoker, you won't regret it... well you may regret not getting the 48, but that's a different story.

    Offset smoker for under $350

    I'm pretty sure they will ship it, it would be worth the costs.

    Replacing the Heating Element in the Masterbuilt Electric 40" Gen 2

    I had to replace mine as well, it was out of warranty, but wasn't expensive to get a replacement element. Removing the old element was very easy, but I think I lost a tiny nut that is used with the ground wire, luckily I had a spare from the chip tray upgrade I did that worked perfectly. Putting...

    Old Country BBQ Pits Wrangler Smoker Review

    Just remember to use a small fire in that pit, as it's difficult to keep temps low, at least it was for me when I used to own one.

    Greetings - New OC Wrangler owner

    Congrats, it's a nice smoker, I used to have one myself. I'd recommend getting some tuning plates to help with heat distribution, and also note that the spot where the stack is at grate level is a hot spot. Just season her up and post some pics for us!

    Offset smoker for under $350

    Just add some tuning plates is all I would do, that's all I did with my old Wrangler and it worked pretty well. The Wrangler is a bit smaller than the Pecos, but it has thicker steel and costs more. I really liked it, but couldn't keep the temps low enough and I wanted a reverse flow, as well as...

    Offset smoker for under $350

    I think it would be best to save up a little more and get the Old Country Pecos, it has a good sized chamber and it's well designed. They are $400 at Academy Sports.
