    Is this cherry?

    I burned some of it yesterday in a firepit with family. Didn't smell like the cherry I have used in the past. Unfortunately, no bark. I'm not familiar with the smell of maple, but I'm going to assume that's what it is.

    Is this cherry?

    Thanks for the replies. I've used red oak, apple and cherry in the past (I use whatever I find on CL at the moment I need to replenish). So this season, Maple it is!

    Is this cherry?

    I was looking to replenish my smoking wood via craiglist and came across someone selling maple. Ordered a cord, and what was delivered looks like cherry to me (not going to complain if it is, its what I was actually hoping to find). Opinions? Maple? Cherry?

    36-hybird smoker question?

    There is an air intake control on the bottom of the chargrill side that can be used to regulate air flow. The only way you can "maybe" smoke on it would be to smoke on it like you would on a weber kettle, that is, use a charcoal basket set to one side and the minion method (using charcoal) with...

    How long does the "stall" last?

    Yup. How long it lasts depends on size of meat and cooking temp. Wrapping will help power through it but can also change the characteristic of your cook (softening bark, stewing meat). That being said, a lot of people foil. I always foil pork butt but never brisket. Jus a preference.

    Lang owners . . . does your Lang cook food fast?

    I have checked my grate-level probe in boiling water and its accurate with 2 degrees.  I do have the Lang 36, and when I run it I do average temps about 250. But, yeah, everything seems to cook fast in it.

    Lang owners . . . does your Lang cook food fast?

    I've had the Lang 36 for a few years now and am noticing that, always, I finish 10lb pork butts and 13 lb (both untrimmed weights) in around 7 - 8 hours @250. Is this normal? Now some times my temps spike to 260ish or drop to 240ish, but its within that range the whole time. I never wrap the...

    Lang 36 patio/YoderCheyenne

    Yeah, just to reiterate. I have no regrets in buying a Lang, and despite the initial "gulp" of the shipping costs, I do not regret the decision whatsoever. Given the epoch this will last and the amount of cooking i will be doing on it over time, the shipping costs are part of the investment. To...

    Lang 36 patio/YoderCheyenne

    Not too long ago, I was considering both of these options as well--Yoder of Lang. In the end I went with the Lang cause I wanted the hybrid so I would also have the char grill. Positives for the Lang -- the standard model has a second sliding shelf, the reverse flow means you won't have to...

    Cooking temp in a lang 36

    Yes, I find I'm preferring the higher temps and do like to hear the fat sizzle as it hits the plate. So far my ribs have turned out better than I have ever gotten them when in a WSM when running at around 275. However, I find I think I prefer whole roaster chickens done closer to 225 for longer...

    Cooking temp in a lang 36

    Hey all, I have been cooking on a WSM for many years. I always ran it around 235ish and was happy with my results. Recently I have upgraded to a Lang 36 and have some questions about cooking temperatures. When I fire it up initially, it gets close to 300, and then I let it drop down to about...

    Some smoker advice sought

    Hello all, I am thinking of purchasing a new smoker this summer, but have a few questions. Let me begin by saying I have been using a WSM 18" for the past few years and have been very pleased with the food it turns out and how it operates. I have had no complaints and get nothing but...
