    Would LIke Some Input and Suggestions on and Idea I Have

    Hello everyone.  Haven't posted here in a while because I've been too busy turning wood into ash and meat into money.  :)  It was a good year catering last year and I'm looking to expand.  I was sitting at an event, in my two paid for 10x10 foot spaces (double the registration fee) and realized...

    Need some help with a couple of issues on my wood smoker.

    It's a Lang model 60.  I've been running it all summer.  Have 20 or 30 runs on it so far.  The problems I'm seeing are this: 1.  Uneven temperatures across the smoking chamber.  At the firebox end it's almost 100 degrees hotter than the end furthest from the firebox.  The middle seems to match...

    Need Ideas. Smoke/BBQ With an Italian Flair

    Working on a gig with a local resturaunt. The guy's very interested, but the place is an Italian/pizza place. He'd like do a bbq/smoke event on a slow day, but would like it to fit in with the rest of the resturaunt's theme. Any ideas? All I've got so far is fattys made with Italian sausage...

    Just Ordered a Rock's BBQ Stoker For My Lang 60

    Really looking forward to getting it. Should be here in about 2 weeks. Last few smokes I've done have lead me to believe that the stoker system could help out a lot. The person at Rock's was very courteous and helpful. A good impression working with them so far. I'll give an update when I...

    Is There a GOOD Way to Make a Quick Brisket?

    I'm thinking about doing some event sales -- flea markets, street festivals etc. I'd like to do some good brisket sandwiches. My problem is that the permit that I can get will require me to cook on site and I'm afraid that a long smoke on a brisket won't leave me any time to sell. I'd like to...

    Charcoal, Minion Method and a Lang

    I've done a few smokes in my Lang 60 now. Latest was yesterday. I REALLY need to get a digi camera so I can Q-view these things. I did 4 chickens, 4 pork butts (Sam's had them for 97 cents/pound) and 2 hams. Everything came out great. What I'm finding is that I need to add wood sooner than...

    Food Safety and the Brining Bucket. HD / Lowes Might Not be best source

    I've seen a couple of posts here suggesting the use of a 5 gallon utilty bucket from Home Depot or Lowes for brining a bird. That might not be the safest choice as they are not "food grade". http://www.virtualweberbullet.com/plastics.html

    First Smoke of Turkey (No Qview), Came out black. Why

    Did three 12 pound turkeys in my Lang 60. Started this morning, the turkeys went into the prewarmed smoker at 1:30. I used the Slaughterhouse recipies posted here. I added in rubbing down the turkey skin with mayonaise so it would come out crispy (read about this in one of the posts) before I...

    Has anyone used their smoker to dry out their wood?

    Ran the Lang last weekend and everything turned out well (sorry, no pics. Didn't have a camera). When it was all done, I still had a fire and a hot smoker, so I figured what the heck. I loaded up the smoking chamber with some firewood and let it sit in the heat till the fire went out. I'm...

    Question About My New Lang

    Greetings all. I'm the proud new owner of a slightly used Lang 60. The unit is complete and in beautiful shape. Drove 3500 miles in 4 days last week to get it. Made it home last Sunday night. My question is, why is the upper rack so small? It seems that it could be larger and still be put in...
