    Need advice on looking for thermometers

    I'm getting that used DPP I posted pictures of in the wood burning forum. I just couldn't afford the $500 delivery charge on a Lang. This looks like a nice DPP.

    Need advice on looking for thermometers

    I've been reading and looking at therms a lot recently. I can't tell if I can leave this in or not. I just haven't been happy with my remote digital therm. I want something more accurate and reliable. I could always put the therms in and take them out. Those that give you internal temps...

    Need advice on looking for thermometers

    Is it ok to put a thermometer like this in the meat and leave it in for the entire smoke? I don't know which ones you can do that with. http://cgi.ebay.com/Chaney-Professio...QQcmdZViewItem

    Need advice on looking for thermometers

    I'm looking for a few meat thermometers that I can put in the meat and leave for the entire smoke. I want the kind with a big face and not remote digital. I've had some problems with remote digitals and thought these others would be more accurate and consistent. Where can I find these types of...

    Lang or Diamond Plate?

    It would be about the same to drive to GA and back. I wish the Langs were closer.

    Lang or Diamond Plate?

    I finally talked to Ben Lang. It would cost $500 just for delivery and that's sending it with another smoker. Lang makes very nice smokers and I really like them. I'm just not going to pay that much for delivery. It's not Ben's fault. That's just what the delivery company charges. BTW, he said...

    Check out this smoker

    This Diamond Plate Model 50 is three years old, garage kept and for sale for $2500. It would cost me about $200 in delivery and I'd need two propane tanks. It's pretty loaded with options and I'll list them below. Do you think this is a good deal that I should take? I'd like opinions from...

    Lang's "3rd generation" smokers!!

    Do most here use wood and charcoal in the same smoke? I take it that you use wood, then switch to charcoal to finish the smoke. If that's right, is that common to do? Sorry for my questions that likely seem simple to most. I'm still trying to learn.

    Lang or Diamond Plate?

    I'll keep calling him. Hopefully I'll talk to him soon. Others have also mentioned that it's hard to get in touch with him.

    Lang's "3rd generation" smokers!!

    Is there any way to describe how much mileage you can get out of a propane tank? Obviously it depends on how much you use it. Any way to give more details on longevity?

    Lang or Diamond Plate?

    I've talked to the DP owner and rep. They are very nice. I've tried calling Lane about four times today. So far I haven't talked to anybody there. I did leave a specific message. I like knowing I can talk to somebody pretty easily in case I need to.

    Lang or Diamond Plate?

    How long did it take to first get the temp where you wanted it? One oak split every two hours sounds good to me. Since I only have a MES I've never had to worry with building the fires. That's a concern of mine, but from what I read people make it sound pretty easy.

    Lang or Diamond Plate?

    Maybe some of you can tell me this. Do the Lang smokers go through a lot of wood? How are they compared to other top brands regarding using wood?

    Lang or Diamond Plate?

    Which smoker would you guys recommend? I'm waiting on someone from Lang to call me back with info. I wanted to get opinions here too. I know a lot here use Lang with a few DPP here too. A few facts: I don't have a big family and haven't cooked for a lot of people. I doubt I'd cook for a huge...
