    Sliders and rollers on a Lang

    Anyone ever cook a large amount of hotdogs and hamburgers on their Lang?  Last night I cooked 90 hamburgers and about 120 hot dogs on mine but as it was my first time, I was nervous about doing it the way Ben Lang described it (ramping up the fire and getting the bottom plate hot, then cooking...

    RooterQ

    A friend invited me to butcher some pigs his friend trapped in his peanut field.  This is my first time doing a wild pig.  Today's Q is 1/2 of a 75 pounder.  I'll be adding some chickens a little later just to take up a little space.  I'll update as time goes on.

    Wild Hog Sausage Question

    A friend has a peanut-farming buddy who has a wild hog problem.  So he has been trapping them and giving them to my friend, who invited me today to help him butcher and divvy up the meat.  We butchered one 150 lbs sow and 3 little rooters, about 30 lbs each.  The little ones we left whole to try...

    Did a little fundraising this weekend...

    I helped cook in a Boston butt fundraiser for the chruch this weekend.  I showed up an hour later than the others and they laughed at the mag wheels on the Lang as I added it to the rag-tag fleet of homebuilts and other units.  (They said "Are you sure that's a cooker and not a showpiece?!") ...

    Latest cook w/ Qview

    I am just now uploading the Qview from last Friday.  I had to hurry up and go on a vacation the next morning.  I cooked 6 Boston Butts for the church so I figured I would toss on 2 chuck roasts and a grass fed brisket flat my mom sent me from Colorado for my birthday.  I will say that the...

    Opinions wanted on using a grinder as stuffer

    I am looking to upgrade from my horn-style stuffer to a vertical unit but wanted some opinions on using an electric grinder w/ stuffing attachment.  I think I have outgrown the stuffer I have and it can be a pain in the neck sometimes.  I have an LEM 1/3 Hp grinder but have never used the...

    Lower temps on Lang 60 Desired

    Hey All, I have been away from the forum for a while.  While gone a couple of things took place:  We sold our home and moved a lot closer to work and civilization and I got the BBQ pit of my dreams!  We had $3500 more than we had anticipated from the sale of our home and my wife gave me the...

    Casing sources in Jax, FL?

    Hello All, I am going to Jacksonville, FL this weekend to see family. I need some more sausage casings and wonder if there is a known source down there. I am sure the regular 34mm hog casings are very common but I need some 22mm sheep casings. They have doubled their price online since I...

    Finished my tuning plate mod

    I finished the tuning plates I have been thinking about for several years. Wasn't that hard and I didn't even need to hire a welder. I got rushed into a big cook job for church before I could take a photo so I will post one tomorrow. I am cooking 6 boston butts today and 4 more tomorrow. I...

    OK Joe mod help

    I'm finally getting around to having the essential mods done to my OK Joe Longhorn. I am tired of rotating meat to cook evenly. I scored a large piece of 1/4" steel plate and will have a welder make a heat deflector and tuning plates. 1. How low below the grate is best for tuning plates? I...

    How much?

    Got talked to at church this morning about doing some BBQ for our church homecoming. Last year I did some Boston Butts as an addition to all the other food. Now they want me to do all the meat. They want Boston Butts and I need to know the rules of thumb for figuring how much per person to...

    Beer as ingredient

    Has anyone ever used beer as an ingredient in SMOKED sausage? I have been wondering if it would counteract any curing action, raise or lower pH or something like that. I am thinking of trying it the next time.

    A little weekend fun

    I was in a little, and I mean little, competition in nearby Millen, Ga this weekend. I did not win but had a blast doing it. I made probably the best boston butt ever and some ribs. I rounded it out with reheating some sausage I made Friday. Here is me trying out my new grinder for the first...
