    Lang's "3rd generation" smokers!!

    After the rain stopped this afternoon, I got my digital calipers out and measured the steel thickness in several places. It was just as I thought, the cooking chamber is made of 1/4" thick steel. So is the fire box and the baffel underneath the cooking grates. I thought that's what Ben told me...

    Lang's "3rd generation" smokers!!

    I'll measure it and take some better pics when I get home tonight, weather permitting. I know that Lang is heavy, my truck was really sqatting down in back on the way home.

    Lang's "3rd generation" smokers!!

    Yes, he is rolling his own now. I saw the roller, and a huge shear for cutting, and all his other toys. WOW! What a shop he's got! This is a pic of Ben loading mine into my truck. Notice the flat ends, no handle (like the web site pic) and extra shelf on the side. The thinest metal on my 48 is...

    Lang's "3rd generation" smokers!!

    I was at Ben's shop in July picking up my little Lang. He's not using propane tanks any more for any of his smokers. He said there were a couple reasons for that. 1. Metal on those tanks was getting too thin, and pretty inconsistant. 2. They wouldn't hold the heat nearly as well as his "made...

    Lumpy the Wood Chunk Burner,reverse flow build!

    Looks like Lumpy is going to be another great smoker! BCfishman: Try Bell Metals on US1 in Melbourne. They are a bit expensive but, that's where I buy steel I can't find for free.

    welder for mods ?

    Are you looking for a small MIG (wire feed) welder? That's what I would recomend, they are the easiest to learn. How much are you looking to spend? I don't know if you have a store called "Northern Tool" out there but, here's a link to some of thier MIG welders. They even have a couple that...

    Still learning...have a ?

    Welcome to SMF! If it makes ya feel any better, I've made the same mistake. Meat came out with a black bark and a bitter taste. The folks here put up with lots more silly questions from me. Now I keep that exhaust wide open and control temp with the intake at the fire box. Don't quit trying and...

    What woods are native to or grow regularly in Florida?

    Howdy Neighbor! I'm in Brevard Co. too and have been looking for a good source of wood my self. I brought home some hickory from Georgia a few weeks ago but haven't been able to find any localy. I'm sure you already know, several species of oak are easy to find around here and lots of citrus...

    Three Brave Birds

    This is the birds after 3 1/2 hours in the smoker. Internal temp for all three was between 175-180. I kept the smoker temp at 250-275, when I stuck a thermometer in them, juice really sqiurted out of all three so, I don't think they will be dry inside. I'll let them rest/cool a while before I...

    Three Brave Birds

    Thanks all! I'll let the thigh temps get up to around 170-175. I don't like taking chances with poultry either. I'm looking forward to seeing lots of fattie qview today. I'm working my way up to that, maybe in a couple weeks. Good luck to all in the throw down! Thanks again for the advise!

    Three Brave Birds

    I know every one else is doing the fattie throw down this weekend but, I'm not sure I'm ready for that so, I'm trying some thing a little simpler. This is only my second smoke on the new Lang and I don't want to ruin some nice sausage. Pork butts came out yummy last weekend, today I'm trying...

    Greetings from the Smokey Mountains

    Welcome to SMF Smokey! You're going to like it here. I used to go camping in Townsend years ago, I think it was Treemont Camp Grounds, right out side the park entrance. Beautiful area! If you're looking for a wood burner, I'd recommend a Lang. I just picked mine up July 4th weekend. I've...
