Yoder Wichita vs Lang

[chazman24]

The Lang seems to be very popular, but I have no complaints about my Yoder Wichita.

It's easy to use and produces great food. The fire box access was one of the deciding factors, in choosing it over the Lang. Adding wood and charcoal is a breeze in the Yoder. A full, large, charcoal chimney poses no problems. The 1/4" steel holds temps well.

Do you leave the heat management plate in place and still get good airflow?

The heat management plate doesn't inhibit air flow. I'm happy with it.
