Lang 36 price increase!!

[steel hauler]

I just ordered a Lang 36 patio and got it for $949. They told me that the price had gone up to $1095 on their website, but if you called and ordered from them it would still be $949 for a bit longer. I just wanted to pass this on to anyone who was thinking about getting one soon. It may save you a few bucks. I don't know if any of the bigger models are going to increase in price.

Thanks for sharing the info. Seems like everything is going up except wages.

I was told the same thing when my Lang was delivered nearly two weeks ago. They told me they have been holding their prices down for a couple of years and are finally having to do a price increase. My understanding is that all models will increase.

Place your order soon!

I been looking at a Lang to buy. How is the welding? I heard from a friend that its gotten kinda bad.

I haven't gotten mine yet. I hope they live up to the quality I have been hearing and reading about for a few years now. If I wanted a mediocre made smoker I would have built one myself..... But so far I haven't seen or heard anything bad from them yet.

That's why I didn't build a smoke myself. After seeing this build and smoking with it, I can't see many ways to improve it. Being able to put a temp probe inside would be a plus to some but I've learned if you just watch the gauges that came with it, you're well within the ballpark.

As far as I'm concerned, and from what I read....Lang invented RF. I may be wrong. Maybe Al Gore invented the internet.

That's what I heard about the Lang because of some U-tube stuff. I can tell you that the unit I received doesn't have any bubble gum welds.

I wish Lang would update their site site with new pics of the 36 hybrid. You can also look at their FB site for a pic.

SO basically, if I understand, the reverse-flow promotes more even temps and enables you to do what else? I've cooked on wood and charcoal for a long time and will continue to do so! I am looking at buying a new unit once I decide what I want. I want to be able to smoke /bbq but I also want to be able to grill some steaks, burgers, fish directly over some coals. Maybe a traditional off-set smoker or maybe a reverse flow with a charcoal pan in the cooking section? Feedback is greatly appreciated. What is the deal with these Langs that everybody keeps talking about?

Hope this helps, SouthernSausage.....

SO basically, if I understand, the reverse-flow promotes more even temps. Correct. It also gets the smoke closer to the meat unlike a traditional horizontal smoker.

and enables you to do what else? The pan below the grill can have juices poured into it to provide steam and moisture. If you don't use liquids below the grill, the plate will produce vapor from the drippings that fall from the meat.

You can also purchase a Lang hybrid that has a seperate chargriller.

Maybe a traditional off-set smoker or maybe a reverse flow with a charcoal pan in the cooking section? Feedback is greatly appreciated.

What is the deal with these Langs that everybody keeps talking about? Quality and ease of cooking. With a 1/4" build you don't loose the heat like some thinner designed type of smokers.

WC Thanks! Apparently you are liking your purchase. I am seriously considering one. Ill call and unquire about chargrill option on a 36" hybrid and see what other options are available. Does the drip-pan double as a charcoal pan if you wanted to blast something such as steaks?

The drip pan can double as a charcoal pan. If you purchase the hybrid, the chargriller is a seperate addition to the unit. I can explain it better with a pic. Oh, BTW, go with the slide out grills vs the one that comes with it. It may cost $50 extra but maybe not.

Here's a pic:

On the right is the reverse flow smoker, fire box and warmer. On the left is the chargriller. There is a wall between the two.

I can't find a pic of the chargriller inside. It is very impressive. It has two plates with vent holes to lay the charcoal on. Each piece of steel is MORE than 1/4"!

If you want a pic I can get you one this weekend and uploaded.

Like I said, I can't say enough about this unit. Look at the wheel fenders. 1/4" thick! The drop down table hinges, 1/4" thick. They spared NO expense.

Happy smoking,

I think I would agree with this! When the primary rack gets full the legs of the top rack just bug my personality, as I knew they would. I didn't order slide out rack because I was concerned that if I needed to fill the smoker up with taller birds the rack guides would bug me more than the legs. Well I haven't cooked anything tall so I personally think the slide out rack would have been a better choice for me.

BTW, go with the slide out grills vs the one that comes with it.
