Not so good first cook on my Lang 48
I started with a whole chimney and put about 3/4 of the coals down but spread them out a little thinner than what you did. Then I laid 2 splits parallel and about 5 inches apart on the coals and put 2 on top running perpendicular to the ones on the bottom. I then shoveled the rest of the...- worm304

Not so good first cook on my Lang 48
Got my third smoke in today on the new lang. No issues what so ever. The damper and split size were correct and I rocked 250-275 throughout the cook. Pictures below. Started with 5 splits and it was ready to rock and roll in about 45 minutes. I gave myself some extra time so it was about 2...- worm304

Franklin's recommended brisket temp and times
Yeah. They aren't cheap. I wasn't as serious as you but looked it up for the fun of it. Good luck with the future business venture! My crappy coleman will have to do. Or as mentioned I guess an over would do just fine if at home. For some reason I didn't think of that. -

SO now I have to buy a metal warming cabinet. Gotcha. -
Not so good first cook on my Lang 48
I have a couple fire brick questions if anyone can help me out. 1. Is it necessary to have the fire brick cover the entire bottom of the firebox? or just most of it and keep the fire only on the brick? 2. Does anyone with a 36 have firebrick that could point me in the right direction to...- worm304

Not so good first cook on my Lang 48
I have the 36 so 17x17. But keeping the splits small enough to fit on the rack knocks it down to 15x15. I'm going with the smaller split and add more frequently method. Or 2 at a time if need be.- worm304

Not so good first cook on my Lang 48
Yep, oak. Is, stringy good, bad ,or indfferent? I pay $20 for a pretty large wheel Barrell full. Guy sells it out of his front yard not far from me. Money in a coffee can and self serve. Probably cheaper to be had but I'm willing to pay for the convenience. Those are 10 inches. I have some...- worm304

Not so good first cook on my Lang 48
Wasnt able to fire it up yet. I did find that my stack was not all the way open. The orientation was a little off but that is my fault. I feel dumb for that. But I am hoping to fire it up this weekend. It all depends on what the wife wants to do Sunday. I got a new load of wood and like my...- worm304

Bacon wrapped chicken lollipops.
Looks awesome!! I have done lollipops a few times and they are a pain in the ass to trim. Next time, bacon for sure!! -
Not so good first cook on my Lang 48
Which leads me to believe that the mesh over the pinwheel holes can't be having that much of an effect. If you are running 3/4 closed and are still able to maintain temp this could disprove the mesh theory.- worm304

Not so good first cook on my Lang 48
Seems like we are the first to have a lang with the mesh over the pin wheel dampers. I don't have too much of an issue with just using the door for air flow because I would rather that than take an angle grinder or sawzall (which I don't own) to my new smoker to cut them out. Keep us posted...- worm304

Not so good first cook on my Lang 48
Forgive because I am new to stick burners. How much of a difference are we going to see if say the flap can only open to about 75% (just threw out a number) of what it should be. Is that definitely going to make it super hard to keep things consistent with the fire/smoke/temps? I ask because...- worm304

Not so good first cook on my Lang 48
Here's a question. Could this be that the stack flap was not installed properly? I know mine is completely open as far as turning the handle for the stack flap but I have not looked directly in the stack to see if actually is completely open. I wil probably get mirror and a flashlight out...- worm304

Not so good first cook on my Lang 48
Well that's not good because it seems we are in the same boat. The only time I didn't have smoke rolling out of my stack was when the fire started to die. I think what I am going to do is buy some kingsford logs at home depot. That would at least take the potential of it being our wood out of...- worm304

Smoking chicken breasts
I've never smoked skinless breasts but bone in chicken breast is one of my favorite things to smoke. I usually brine 2 days and will add a table spoon of curing salt per gallon of water. After a few hours uncovered in the fridge a light rub and brush with olive oil. Smoke at 275 until they... -
Not so good first cook on my Lang 48
Did my second cook on my 36 this weekend. Definitely still a struggle. I need to get more of a bed of coals going. I did a full chimney of charcoal and 2 splits to start and thought I had it going good but I was wrong. I was never able to get it going good enough to completely close the FB...- worm304

Another prime rib thread.
Thanks, gents!! It definitely came out pretty amazing. One of the easiest things to smoke.
