Question for Lang owners.....

[hogfan40]

Do you all fill the pan under the grates w/ water,apple juice, etc. or do you just leave it dry? And just maybe sit a water pan on top of grate?

Hog, i do neither... I just cook with the drain closed.. As the juices drip into the drain it creates all the moisture i need...Also when the juices hit the turning plate, it steams and sizzles, no extra moisture needed in my opinion...... Have fun with your new toy !!

Makes sense, fixing to head home and season mine so i can smoke this weekend on it.

Bump, I am curious about this one also.

 

[pineywoods]

I haven't but am also interested to see if anyone has and what their thoughts on it were

 

[garyt]

I have always just opened the valve and put a small pail under it but now I am curious.

I did a smoke last weekend, 2 7-8 lb butts and a 12lb and a 10lb packer brisket, I poured about 2 gallons of water in and let the vale shut, I did not taste or notice a difference in the meat compared to no water but I have not used the Lang allot, I do a half dozen rib fests during the summer and I am going to try ribs that way also
