    Not so good first cook on my Lang 48

    Well guys, I cooked yesterday on the 48 and again had no problems. I even cooked lower than usual, 235°-250° , and it performed nearly flawless. I didn't record because someone stopped over and got me drunk. I did make my split sizes smaller to maintain at a lower temp. I'm usually...

    Not so good first cook on my Lang 48

    If I have time to cook this weekend, I'll try to record starting and maintaining a fire. With my luck I'll start having problems! Will keep you guys posted. Hang in there.

    Not so good first cook on my Lang 48

    The firebox on the 48 is 18×18. The firebox on the 36 is 17×17. Not sure if that matters...

    Not so good first cook on my Lang 48

    Guys, My lang is 6 months old with the same dampers and I havent had any problems. Talk about frustration.

    Not so good first cook on my Lang 48

    5 splits seems like a lot to add at one time, but as long as they're burning down to nice coal bed it shouldn't be a problem. That is basically how I build my fires and it has worked well for me. The only times I had problems was when the split I added was too big or the split still had too...

    Not so good first cook on my Lang 48

    All of my cook times are shorter on the Lang. I too overcooked my first rib attempt and my briskets are done in 8 hours. I push my coal bed all the way up front towards the cooking chamber, leaving room INSIDE the firebox to warm my next split. That split will burn immediately when placed on...

    Yoder Wichita or Lang. Forum opinion appreciated!!!

    Ok, so obviously I'm going to choose the Lang over the Yoder because that's what I own. The only real way to compare the two is to cook on them . The biggest selling point for me was the reverse flow on the Lang. It does maintain even temps across the cooking chamber AFTER 3 hours of cooking...

    Temp controller for offset smoker?

    I think you just hit it on the head. Gotta love what you're doing or stick burners are not for you.

    New Lang 48 intake damper concern.

    Has to be the wood. My Lang 48 has the same dampers and I havent had problems except for a few pieces of wood that weren't totally dry. They were a smoldering mess. Check your split sizes also. Anything too fat will cause the fire to smolder . When I add a split to an existing bed of...

    Temp controller for offset smoker?

    Thanks Al for the info. I too have been contemplating the Guru or maybe the Perfect Draft Blower. I have a Lang 48 and a WSM. I love the offset but would like a little more time between adding splits. I can go @ 40 minutes between splits. Nothing but good clean heat. The white smoke has me...

    First Brisket... All wrong but oh so right.

    I've thawed steaks in warm water before and it works well. First I've heard of hot water and a whole brisket!! Regardless, great looking finished product. Looks delicious.

    New Highland Reverse Flow - any tips?

    Congrats. I too graduated from a WSM cooker that I absolutely loved cooking on. Bought a Lang 48 patio 6 months ago and it's a blast to cook on, producing some of my best BBQ. I dont think you'll be able to do an overnight cook with it unless you plan on staying up with it the whole time...

    Bbq Guru on Lang Smokers

    Thanks for the input. I have a 22in. WSM that I've used for several years that puts out some good bbq, but nothing compares to the Lang. I've spoiled myself! I'm sure I'll be taking the Weber for a ride this baseball season. Got a kid that plays 12u travel ball and it makes it difficult...

    Bbq Guru on Lang Smokers

    Hello to all. I've been reading up on the Bbq Guru and want to know if any Lang owners use them. What's the verdict with the Guru? Does it help cut down wood consumption? What about using with a charcoal basket? How long can it go without refuelling? I'm afraid the food will taste...

    reverse flow help

    My Lang 48 usually takes about 2 hours before the temps start to even out. Give it a little time before comparing sides.

    Lang owners, what should I know?

    I was told 4 weeks and it took 5. So if you get yours in 2 weeks I'd be ok with that. I understand the frustration with "ballpark" estimates but once you fire that thing up all, all will be forgotten. Good luck.
