    My first smoke on the Lang

    Looks great! Do you think if I just change the name of my Brinkmann to Lang it would work like that?

    Can't post

    Yeah, I think that is what happened. I typed up a post using Microsoft Word and just copied and pasted and everything worked, photos and all. Thanks to all for the help.

    Spares with some Q-View

    Finally finished the mods on my smoker. Figured I might as well try it out. Here are some of them trimmed, rubbed and ready to be wrapped and put in the fridge overnight. Got up about dark thirty (2:00 am) to try and get myself motivated and get the smoker up to temp. As you can see, the...

    temp issues on my snp

    Just finished modifying mine and am smoking some ribs right now. I'm noticing just what you're talking about. I've been able to hold steady temps, but I still have a difference of about 40-50 degrees from one end to the other. I've been sitting out there thinking about doing just what you said...

    getting rid of it

    Hey, thanks guys. I never thought about putting it in the trash. I just knew that there wasn't anyplace I wanted to pour it out.

    getting rid of it

    I'm going to be smoking 9 slabs of spares in the morning. I assume there will be a lot of grease in the bucket when I get done. How do you guys go about disposing of it? I can't see just pouring it down the drain. That's just asking for problems. You can't throw it out in the yard or pour it...

    Well, I've put it off long enough

    Well, here it is about 3 weeks later. I finally got the mods done. The charcoal basket: The exhaust extension: The two smoke chamber therms: Going to smoke some ribs tomorrow morning to see how this thing will work. Hopefully I won't be disappointed.

    UDS #8 Design

    Glad to be of assistance. So, what do you do with all those smokers, anyway? Are you selling them? Oh, yeah, I just noticed that you are in Lincoln. You're just down the road from me, kinda. Howdy neighbor!

    UDS #8 Design

    This is just a thought on the design. Now, don't think for a minute that I know what I'm talking about, this is just a thought. I have never built any kind of smoker before, so I have no experience to base my conclusions on. My thinking is that the 2" pipe will be way too small to get enough...

    Well, I've put it off long enough

    EXACTLY ! I've just wasted the entire summer. I just haven't had the ambition to get it done. Oh, well, we can't get it back, so I guess we just go from here. CHARGE !!!

    Well, I've put it off long enough

    I wasted the whole summer. We haven't smoked anything all summer because I wanted to modify the smoker first. Did a lot of grilling, but no smoking. For some reason I just didn't have the ambition to get it done. Well, I finally got started. I made the firebox baffle and the tuning plates over...

    Decisions:

    Hi, all, I am going to buy a couple of thermometers for my Brinkmann Pitmaster. I've been looking at a Taylor. http://www.4thegrill.com/tay814.html Is that a good brand? I'd rather buy a couple of Tru-tel's, but they are quite a bit more expensive. I'm working on a budget so I want to try to...

    Maverick Customer Service - Great Job

    So, what did you get ? I know there are other brands out there. Did you find one that is better ? I'd really like to know, because I'm getting ready to buy one.

    Those exchange propane you buy....

    Hi, all. I had actually started a thread about this a couple of weeks ago here. Check the link for the newspaper article. Anyway, since that time, I decided to do a little checking and found that the U-Haul Store a couple of miles from my house fills tanks. Well, I had a spare empty tank in...

    Rust and the Smoker

    I usually get mine at the local auto parts store (auto body supplies). Some hardware stores may carry it.

    Rust and the Smoker

    garyt is right. Use the naval jelly. But do grind or sand first, then when you get that done, use an old paint brush and smear the naval jelly on and let it sit for a while. It will kill any rust that may be left so it won't creep back in later and ruin your new paint.

    New ROYAL OAK smoker impressions

    I agree. My cheapo Brinkman has lasted me 8 years now and at the rate of deterioration on it, I fully expect to get another 10 years if I sand it and repaint it. Trust me, I have not been taking care of this thing. It is always out in the weather, rain, snow, tornadoes, volcanoes, sand storms...
