Aaron it all looks great including that new smoker. I'm sure it was well worth the 3 days and on top of getting the new smoker I'm sure it was another great adventure you got to share with your dad.
What was the new sauce nd how was it?

 

[pi guy]

What an awesome rig! Congrats, it looks like heaven!

I'd like to know more about the sauce.

 

[HalfSmoked]

Well a great 1st run for that cooking machine. I take it the one end is charcoal and the other is a stick burner. Nice looking food out of both ends for sure.

What was the new sauce nd how was it?

it was worth going through all i went through. i regret putting my dad through some serious back pain though.
We both did like some fo the bonding time we got though.

the sauce i will list the recipe at the bottom. i was going to make some candy apple red sauce but didn't have all the ingredients so i tweaked into this and it came out outstanding!

What an awesome rig! Congrats, it looks like heaven!

I'd like to know more about the sauce.

thank you! the recipe will be below

Well a great 1st run for that cooking machine. I take it the one end is charcoal and the other is a stick burner. Nice looking food out of both ends for sure.

Warren

thats right warren, the left side is direct charcoal and the right is indirect stick burner. thre is a 1/4" steel plate separating the two.

Looks great Aaron, but I thought you already had a Lang?! I’ve been out of the loop!

This is my 3rd Lang. i had a 36 i sold to buy a 48 and i sold the 48 to move. i just bought this one because the 48 was too big for my needs and wanted a grill and smoker combo.


#2 strawberry sauce

1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 TBS garlic
1 tsp onion powder
3 TBS sweet paprika
1 cup turbinado Sugar
1/8 cup AC vinegar
1/4 cup strawberry lemonade
1 1/4 cup of ketchup
1 TBS yellow mustard
3 TBS butter

mix in small pot and under med heat bring to simmer. let simmer for 10-15 minutes stir occasionally remove from heat and let flavors marry 2 hours or so.


Happy Smoking,
phatbac (Aaron)
