Almost bought a Lang 84 today,
I went to check it out, had $2050 cash ready to get this older 84 deluxe, but the baffle had so much rust on top and bottom of it that I felt I would need to cut it out and replace it, offered the guy $150 less to pay for my steel, and he flipped out on me.
This guy claimed to be a BBQCircuit champion, but man, I could have pulled out 2 gallons of flaked rust off the baffle alone. He claimed that I was stupid because I don't put peanut oil on the "outside" of my smokers after every cook? Ever heard of that? Anyway, I tried to explain to him that I put oil on the inside to "prevent" rust and occasionally oil the firebox because it gets so hot, the paint burns off. Needed tires, sandblasting, and a new baffle.
Sorry no pics, I think he would have shot me if I tried to take pics!
I bet he likes rust flakes with his pork butts for breakfast!!! LOL
