I will share a couple of things with you that you may want to consider on your next smoke of a Boston but or anything else. First off, don't rely on the accuracy...

    My new toy! Peoria Custom Cookers 24x48 Backyard

    harleysmoker93, Sounds to me like you made out pretty well with the Guru and using mostly charcoal and not wood splits. Makes cense to me since charcoal typically has a longer burn time than wood. Given the results that you had on your first smoke using the Guru and charcoal as your base and...

    My new toy! Peoria Custom Cookers 24x48 Backyard

    harleysmoker93, Thank you for your response. I suspected that the Guru would be a good help but not put you in the mode of "set it and forget it" like you can do with a pellet smoker from Cookshack and others. I haven't heard of anyone as yet that has an offset wood smoker that can do that...

    Like2que, Thank your response and glad to hear that you sound pleased with your smoker. I look forward to hearing about how you think the smoker works after you get the chance to fire it up a few times and try an assortment of food. My very best of luck to you. Pig

    Lang 36 poor quality welding?

    Like2que, Your new Lang looks great. It appears to me based on your pictures that the welding quality and workmanship was done well. Did you by chance speak to Ben Lang or one of the staff members prior to your smoker being built that when you came to pick it up that you would be looking...

    My new toy! Peoria Custom Cookers 24x48 Backyard

    Ambucher, Thank you for your reply. I agree with what you said that it sure is convenient to have your smoker manufacturer a short distance from your home but you certainly weren't going to compromise convenience for product quality. I also highly agree with you regarding customer service...

    My new toy! Peoria Custom Cookers 24x48 Backyard

    To Both Ambusher and Harleysmoker93, I really enjoyed your posts, pics and comments about your new PCC smokers. Like the both of you were, I have been in the market for some time looking for a new smoker to upgrade from the 36 Meadow Creek that I currently have. I do have a few questions for...

    Lang 36 poor quality welding?

    Like2que, Let me add a comment here that may make you feel a little better about your choice of a Lang smoker. As I mentioned in my previous post I have smoked a ton of butts, chicken spare ribs, turkeys and sausage on both a Lang 60 Deluxe  and a Lang 108 Deluxe and the end results have been...

    Lang 36 poor quality welding?

    Like2que, I am glad that you are aware of some of the reported product quality issues that seem to keep surfacing concerning Lang Smokers. ChiptoleQ had several welding issues with his Lang 36 which he posted several photographs of. Further, he called and spoke to people at Lang and sent them...

    wood source

    ChickenButt, I just saw your post about Southern Fuelwood, went to their website and was very impressed. I hope that there prices are not off the planet. I am as avid smoker, use a stick burner and I am a stickler for good quality wood as I know that it makes a big difference in how well it...

    Jersey Newbie

    SIA M, Welcome to the smoking meat forums. I am formerly from Wyckoff, New Jersey and now reside in sunny Florida. I think that we all work well together and most assuredly love to share all of our experiences and lessons learned from smoking the gamut of products and having a blast. If I can...

    Lang 36 poor quality welding?

    Rib, You may well be right on that. Cheep labor in the fabrication/welding business would well seem to me that you are NOT going to get a top of the line end product manufactured. It's a little like the old saying, "You get what you pay for". If you buy cheep then you are more than likely to...

    Lang 36 poor quality welding?

    I don't want rain on anybody's parade but I find all of you guys awfully gracious and forgiving for what I am hearing is just plain BAD QUALITY WORKMANSHIP. I am just BLOWN away if Ben Lang is aware of the poor quality of product that his company is putting out. To me there is NO excuse for...

    Lang Smokers vs. other Top of The Line Smokers

    Rib, You bring up very excellent points for consideration on a smoker selection and I agree with you. All smoker styles, builds and smoking techniques will not generate the same food taste results. This may seem somewhat confusing to some people and a little bit scary but as you have so well...

    Lang Smokers vs. other Top of The Line Smokers

    RW, I appreciate your comments and thoughts regarding the Myron MIxon Smokers. I have read several comments from an assortment of people who custom build smokers as you do but I have to believe that Seconn Fabricators is a top of the line company when it comes to fabrication, welding, laser...

    Lang Smokers vs. other Top of The Line Smokers

    RibWizzard, No offence taken by me. I have enjoyed my smoking with a wide variety of items on two Lang smokers and the end results were great. I found the smokers relatively easy to use and maintaing temps was pretty easy. I do, however, agree with you that the build quality does leave...

    Finally received my New Peoria Custom cooker....Man what a difference

    Harley, Your smoker looks awesome and it sounds like your going to have a lot of fun trying out different foods. I wish you well. By the way, why aren't you down at Daytona for "Bike Week"? A ton of Harley's and everything else you can think of and then some. I have a good friend of mine that...
