Hello everyone,
I am currently in the market to buy a new pit. I think I have narrowed it down to the Lang 48 or the Yoder Loaded Wichita. After shipping the Wichita is roughly $250 cheaper. I was hoping to receive others input on what they would do. My usual smokes are briskets and pork butts and I typically keep my pit around 275. I am looking to expand the items I smoke, just pork butt and brisket is my comfort zone currently. I do like that the Loaded Wichita I can use as a grill if I want to, but I have seen some people concerned about potential design flaws on the Wichita and some say there is quite a bit of variance in temperatures even with the heat management plate on the Wichita. I have seen the Wichita in person and it does seem to be well made, I'm concerned about how high the fire chamber and the grate in the chamber is. What have others seen as Pros and Cons for the Wichita and Lang?
