    Thank You ShooterRick

    I just wanted to give a public "Thank You!" to ShooterRick. He has tolerated my endless silly questions in PM about my Lang and has been a huge help. I don't know this guy and he doesn't know me but, he is a wonderful example of what this forum is about. I'm fairly new here and don't know a...

    New little Lang

    Hang in there Smoke Freak! Don't give up! Of course I'll be doing "honey do's" for a year to pay for this but it's worth it. I got the 48 patio cause I usually cook for 30 people or less and they usually come to my house, I have two kegs on tap, so I didn't need a trailer model. I'm...

    New little Lang

    I drove up to Ben Lang's shop yesterday and picked up my new little Lang 48 Patio. Ben was wonderful about explaining how to season it and cook with it. He even gave me a nice tour of his shop, I'm trying to teach myself how to weld (MIG & TIG) so, he showed me his metal fabrication toys. WOW...

    pepper wood????

    I don't know if this is the tree you are asking about but, if it's a Brazilian Pepper then do NOT put it in a smoker. The sap is like poision ivy to some people. We have them all over my area of Florida, we are trying to get rid of them. Here's a link with a better explanation...

    My first Fattie

    ck that's an amazing job for a first fattie! I've been trying to get up the nerve to try one, figured I screw it up and have wasted lots of good food. Thanks for the inspiration, I hope my first one comes out looking half as good as yours does.

    New Floridian

    Hey Tim! Welcome to SMF! Nice to see another Floridian. I've got the same smoker, works great right out of the box but, there are a few mods you'll see around here to make it even better. I'm working on a charcoal basket for mine. Enjoy the forum.

    Biggest Oops

    I want to thank gorillagrilla for starting this thread, I thought this kind of stuff only happened to me. My worst day smoking was (I think) caused by a thawing mistake. A whole turkey, didn't notice any smell going into the smoker. A few hours later though, it was very obvious that this...

    Florida People

    They also have 10lb bags of leg quarters for $.69 lb. I got two butts and 20lbs of chicken on my way home last night. I've already got folks asking when will it be coming out of the smoker. It'll be a good weekend.

    Walmart no longer carrying Royal Oak?

    I sure hope that's not true, Wally's is the only place I've been able to find Royal Oak. I may go stock up too, just in case. Thanks for the heads up!

    FIRE ANTS, What to do?

    Bayer (yes, the same folks that make asprin) has a line of pestasides that are very effective against fire ants and any other insects and are still inviromentally friendly. Their "Suspend SC" is certified safe for use in hospitals, food processing facilities, and day cares. We use it where I...

    Hi & Thanks from a newbie

    If I didn't screw up the paypal sign up thing, then my $15 is on the way. I'm sure the forum has already saved me more than that on meat that didn't have to be thrown away after I ruined it in a smoker. Thanks again all!
