    Picked up the Lang 60 yesterday!

    Luckily I only got it up to 300 to do the steam cleaning, then slowly let it die down by closing some vents while I prepped my ribs. I was in at 250 when I put them on and locked it in about 235, ranging from 225-250 as I added and maintained a bed of coals. It is funny how much larger a fire...

    I tried No foiling this afternoon....

    Personally I want to see a pig cooking in the sand on the beach, but nice ribs ;)

    Q'View Yesterday's Smoke

    Next time try cooking at 250. It will help speed things up a bit. It's not hot enough to dry anything out, so it may be worth a shot. BTW--Everything looks awesome!

    Picked up the Lang 60 yesterday!

    I'm trying not be cocky, but I fired it up yesterday and am feeling really at home with the smoker. I think it helped trying to burn a lot of wood in my smaller horizontal. I had a little better idea of how to keep everything going. I did one rack of ribs, lol. One, lol. I can see it wouldn't be...

    Black Diamond Capacity

    I'll go as far as 300 in the oven to finish if I really need to. Same results and noticeably faster.

    smoker from scratch

    I would say the baffle is more important than the tuning plates. It will divert heat from coming directly in contact with just part of the cooking chamber and also help direct it across to the opposite end.

    Lang Wood Question

    I would think standard cut length firewood will be fine, as long as it doesn't exceed the depth of the firebox by a lot. I don't think you'll need to do much recutting, but I guess if you had to ask I'd say 16" would be optimal.

    Picked up the Lang 60 yesterday!

    Definitely going to show up with the Lang... I need cook 8-10 butts for the festival, so that will be 1) my first multiple cook of that capacity and 2) first competiton. It is kind of laid back though, not like a sanctioned KCBS event. I will probably cook something every weekend between now...

    Picked up the Lang 60 yesterday!

    I may have to try the crisco, the wife said we have two canisters... One other thing I thought was interesting, the guy said he used to cook butts in 4-5 hours at 225-250? Maybe he pulled them around 160 internal chops them? He did say he didn't use a meat probe of any sort, but cooked by feel...

    New to this, Am i doing something wrong?

    Just a thought, but if you added 4-5 CHUNKS that were soaked, it could've smothered your fire a bit? Next time, try not soaking and just warming the chunks on top of the firebox for a half hour or so before you start while everything is coming up to temp. They'll be ready to go when you add...

    Picked up the Lang 60 yesterday!

    Okay, here are a few after shots since I cleaned out the inside and resprayed the firebox and a couple other spots. If it ever stoips raining I'm going to do some of the cleaning process to get it ready, may even do some inagural ribs or something later today... The guy told me that he has...

    Picked up the Lang 60 yesterday!

    Well, thanks to whoever (I didn't check) posted that thing for sale on craigslist. I got the guy to meet me a little over halfway (4 1/4hrs)! I really thought I only wanted a 48, but wasn't resigned to paying full price AND picking it up (10+ hr drive each way) which would require two days...

    Lang 60 on Trailer in Gainesville. $1800

    picked her up today. Wasn't too bad a drive, a little over 4hrs each way...better than picking it up from Land itself! I'll have some pics to come in another thread...

    Drum Calculations

    Luckily I had a smaller bullet type smoker with the same three screw grate support design. I laid the weber grate on top, and taped the areas where the three bolts were lined up. I then held the weber grate inside my drum and marked the holes, then measured up from the bottom equal distance...

    Pics from my UDS build

    I'd like to see that up next to a 55gal drum....it doesn't appear to be that much larger. I like the build though, I went with casters too. They rock.
