So I ordered a new smoker yesterday!...Update!

[phatbac]

Hey!
I ordered a new smoker yesterday. I decided to go back to a stick burner and rejoin ( if i ever left) the Lang brotherhood and ordered a Lang 36 Hybrid Patio with stainless steel cooking racks.

I will post pics of it when i get it but here is a picture of the model I ordered...

It has a smoker on the right (reverse flow) and a charcoal grill on the left hand side. There is a steel wall separating the two in the tube.
I went with stainless upgrade hoping i could prevent rust and keep my racks cleaner.
When their plant resumes next week i will be waiting about 4-6 weeks for it to be built and delivered.

Thanks for looking!

Happy Smoking ( i will be soon ),

Congratulations Aaron. I wish that I cooked for enough people to justify a smoker like that.

I look forward to seeing action pictures, once you get her dialed in.

(I thought that you had gotten a larger Lang, after you sold the 36 patio, last year? It was all I could do not to call when you had that one for sale).

i sold a 48 last year and wanted a little smaller because the 48 was too big for my needs. i could smoke for the whole church (125 ppl) and have 1/4 of the cook chamber left over. So i went back to a 36 i used to have with a grill on the side so i can grill with it too!

Happy Smoking,

I gotcha. I thought that it was a 36 that you sold. Even that would be bigger than I need. (Our whole church is about 35 - 40 folks).

Enjoy the new smoker.

Well you had me looking for a place to put a 48, but it just wouldn’t work here, plus I have never not had enough room in my 36. I’m glad to hear that you are happy with the 36. It looks like a real nice unit, but then IT IS a Lang!!!

Congrats on your purchase. The best of 2 worlds, smoking and grilling, whats not to like! You can't go wrong with a Lang, but you already know that.

From one proud Lang owners to another: Congratulations!
I had such a tough time choosing between the 48 and the 36 hybrid. I went with the 48 with no regrets. I use my WSM 22in. for anything I want to cook over charcoal quickly. As you already know, the Lang is a beast and really is a joy to cook on.

Congratulations

Thank you smoking peachy and Dantij...I cant wait for my new smoker. i went with the 36 because the 48 was just bigger than i ever needed so there was no need for the extra room...

Cooking on a Lang!

Hey all,
i have told a few on the chat and i wanted to share with everyone my update.

Well, I'm going to have to have surgery again and because of time off work and all the BS i wasn't going to be able to get the Lang i ordered and so i cancelled the order. Then i was looking at facebook marketplace for a used horizon (still had some scratch) or something like that when what did you know i came across a used Lang 36 Hybrid patio with stainless racks and a custom cover. I contacted the seller.

I got my medications changed around so the surgery could be pushed off a month or two ( this is good because of covid etc.) and leaves me still in better shape to make a large purchase...

The seller is way away from me but about the same distance from my dad's house as the Lang plant. My dad was going to go with me to get the smoker to save me shipping and so instead of going south to GA we are going north to western NY. I put down a small deposit to hold the unit and Memorial day weekend (next weekend) i will be picking up my new Lang!

I'm getting what i wanted, saving a bunch of money, and sooner. It will be a nice father and son trip and i will spending my memorial day, cleaning painting, and reasoning my smoker and getting her ready for the summer of smoke '20! --- i Think we are going to call her Suzy Q!

Happy Smoking,

Here is a pic of her!

Great find. Mighty good of you adopting an unwanted unit.

Sorry to hear about your health issues. Feel for you. I've got upcoming oral surgery and many months of recovery and restoration.
