    Lang 36 patio?

    I use a 4×16 inch bread pan. Go to amazon. I paid @ $15 for an aluminum one but you can spend more for stainless steel. Taking the cooker up to 300° is what I do . I actually steam clean before and after I'm done cooking. I scrape the steel plate every 2 or 3 cooks just to keep it smelling...

    Char-broil bullet vs Weber smokey mountain

    I own the WSM 22". My friend owns the 18". The 22 is easier to maintain temps. The extra money is well worth the extra space. You'll be kicking yourself if you get the 18".

    Lang 36 patio?

    And I agree with you about cooking at 225°. I cook ribs between 240° and 260, brisket between 255° and 275, pork shoulder at 260°-280°. Chicken and sides go on top , the hotter the better!

    Lang 36 patio?

    Wow Phatbac, I just posted without reading your post first. I think you and I are on the same page! Do you use a water pan?

    Lang 36 patio?

    I have a water pan I place on the right side closest to the firebox. That helps with evening out temps across the grates. There will always be variances in temps from left to right and top to bottom unless you do some modifications. Al was able to dial his in so all 4 areas of his Lang 36...

    Lang 36 patio?

    Before every cook. Sometimes after when cleaning out ashes. I spray Pam inside the firebox as well.

    Lang 36 patio?

    Congrats on the Lang. You will not be disappointed. I own the Lang 48 . Follow Phatbac's advice and keep that firebox well oiled. Langs may not be as flashy as some of it's competitors but I promise you it can outcook them all!! I cook year round and haven't had any problems with...

    Firebox set up

    I don't have a miter saw but I do have a sawzall. I'm not sure why I bought the basket. I was just looking to burn wood more efficiently I guess. I've never had a problem holding temps or producing clear exhaust or blue smoke. Might be seeing this basket on Ebay!!

    Firebox set up

    Correction: I bought the 20 inch basket, which is 12.5" long. The 24 inch basket is 19" long, which is the size of my firebox. 16" would have been perfect for the Lang 48.

    Firebox set up

    I bought the smaller one and used it for the 1st time Saturday. Didn't like it. The wood splits that I buy are generally 2-3 inches longer than the basket so the portion that hangs over the edge of the basket tends to smolder a little. My firebox is 19 inches so obviously the 20 inch was out...

    So I ordered a new smoker yesterday!...Update!

    From one proud Lang owners to another: Congratulations! I had such a tough time choosing between the 48 and the 36 hybrid. I went with the 48 with no regrets. I use my WSM 22in. for anything I want to cook over charcoal quickly. As you already know, the Lang is a beast and really is a joy...

    Looking at getting into the world of stick burners

    Congrats on the Lang!! You won't be disappointed. I cook on the Lang 48. One of my better decisions. I fired it up last weekend in 35° weather. Performed flawlessly. I maintained temperatures between 240° and 260° for 5 hours. Can't beat that.

    Yoder Wichita vs Lang

    I've been smoking on a Lang 48 for just over a year and the thing is awesome. I considered the Yoder but ultimately went with the reverse flow Lang. Absolutely zero regrets! With the upgrades, mine weighs in at 800 pounds. As Al stated , it's easy to use, maintains its heat, and cleans up in...

    Newbee with Questions about offset

    I use mostly wood when starting my fires. I'll add a big handful of charcoal about 20 minutes before I throw food on. The charcoal added in allows for a nice long burn before I have to add wood for refueling.

    Bbq Guru on Lang Smokers

    I agree. Got The Perfect Draft BBQ Blower as a gift and haven't seen a big difference between fire management and fuel consumption. I cook on a Lang 48 and I'm able to regulate temps just fine without it. I've only tried the blower 2 times thus far. I was really hoping to burn less wood but...

    McRib is back! Limited time only.

    That's The Perfect Draft BBQ Blower. 2nd time using it. It kept the temps very steady which I was able to do without it. It's supposed to decrease fuel consumption but I'm not impressed with that aspect. I'll keep trying.

    Baby backs smoked with cherry and hickory. Bones removed after the cook. Pickles went on after the pictures. Was going to make a better presentation but the family was anxiously waiting. Delicious!
