Hello:
I am going to pull the trigger and get Stretch within the next few months, and I am trying to get ideas on how best to get it around for on-site catering, competitions, etc. For those of you with a Stretch, or any vertical smoker that you use for off-site cooking....how do you get it...

HI SMF Family:
I have been asked to smoke brisket for a gathering of 25 people for a graduation party. I was thinking that 2 12 lb. briskets would be enough meat for everyone....what do you think? Should I go bigger to make sure everyone gets their fill? I just don't want to overbuy and end up...
Hi SMF Family:
I am planning on smoking some monster turkey legs. I will be wet curing with Morton Tender Quick for a minimum of36 hours before smoking. I know that will turn the meat pink and give it a hammy taste similar to state fair turkey legs and that is fine. My question is will...
It's a long read but please endure and see if you can help me out.
Ok....so for Christmas I decided to try my first attempt ever at brisket. I got a 15 lb. packer and I was all ready for a super long cook based on the 1 to 1.5 hour per lb. guideline. I got it all trimmed and seasoned and on the...
Hey:
I am nervously watching the days tick away on the calendar as I am approaching my first attempt at a brisket for Christmas. With all of the information I have leaned here from other threads I am not as intimidated as I would have been going at this on my own - it's like you all will be...
Hi Everyone:
So I am planning on cooking my very first brisket for Christmas. Thanks to all the informative posts here, I think I am ready to take on this challenge. This year, I think it will be just my mom and I so I don't know if buying a whole packer would be the best thing to do. We both...
HI:
I got the smoker chamber all seasoned and ready to go on my Lang 60 Longneck with Chargrill, but how do I season the chargrill? Do I just coat the insides with oil, load the bottom up with coals, and let it burn for a while? Or is there something special that needs to be done?
Thanks in...
Hi:
I have seen the Q-View in several threads of members brining their turkeys before smoking, and I would like to do the same thing with my Thanksgiving smoke. The only problem I'm having is that the focus in the pictures is usually on the bird, and not the type of bucket being used - which...
Hi Fellow Lang Owners:
I just received my 60 Longneck with Chargriller and I absolutely love it!! I had already started a thread in the Wood Smokers section, so I will just post the link to that thread in case anyone wants to check out the pictures I posted or comment. I look forward to many...
The wait from order to delivery wasn't long at all for my Lang 60" Longeck with Chargriller...arrived in tip top condition. I got the smoker chamber all seasoned up on Sunday - I used peanut oil. I tried leaving wood on the roof of the firebox to get it warm before placing it in the firebox, and...
HI:
I have never smoked a Boston Butt before, let alone purchased the meat to do so. But I am working up the nerve to try it, so I was doing a little retcon at my supermarket today and I saw several cuts labeled "Port Boston Butt Roast". I know the cuts used for pulled pork are called Boston...
Hello:
I live in the Austin/Round Rock area, and I am looking for a place to buy quality cuts of meat (ribs, chicken, briskets, pork butts, etc.). Are there any meat markets or butcher shops that anyone can recommend? I would rather not have to go to HEB and purchase meat vacuum packed in salty...
Greetings!!
I am so happy to be a member of this great community. My name is Alexis and I live in Round Rock, TX. I purchased my first offset smoker in 2004 and only used it as a grill until earlier this year - but once I did I stumbled upon a world I never knew existed!! The amount of useful...
Hi:
I am trying to figure out my next smoker and it looks like I will be going the way of the Lang. I personally think that the 36 is too small, but the 84 would be too big for me now and in the future. So, I am fixated on the 48 or 60 models. The only problem is that I can't really get a good...

Hi Family:
With Labor Day 2014 quickly approaching, my family has decided that they want both chicken and spare ribs, but I am wondering if this move would be too aggressive for someone just starting to get a grasp on everything that smoking entails. My first smoke was a few weeks ago and I...
Hi Forum Family:
Thanks to everyone who helped me with my temperature and TBS issues/questions. I am so glad I did a test run before I tried to put any meat in the cooking chamber. After I got all of that sorted, I threw caution to the wind and tried my first smoke. I did about 6 or 7 chicken...
Hi Everyone:
I am planning my first smoke this weekend, and I am planning o smoke some chicken leg quarters. I will use charcoal to start the fire but my main fuel source will be oak logs. I want to use apple chunks to help flavor the smoke and meat, but I don't know when to add them. Do I add...
Greetings:
I am going to attempt my first some this weekend, but a little voice kept telling me to practice starting and controlling the fire first before trying to cook any meat. I have read up and watched hundreds of tutorials on how to start a fire in an offset smoker and how to control the...
