New guy and a couple of Lang questions

 First off welcome to SMF. Most folks here that have Lang smokers just park them in thier living rooms. You'll like it here cause there are alot of really good folks that would just love to help you with anything to do with smoking. Now we like having new folks here to give a new prospective on some of the ways we do things around here. Now if you are really new then I would suggest that you sign up fir the 5-day E-course it free and it will give you the basics on smoking and a few recipes too. Here's a link to it:

then you will have a method to your newly found madness and believe me it will be a madness. Then when you start smoking things you will have to learn how to post the pictures / Qview 

here. So here's a link to a tutorial on how to post your Qview so we can see what your doing.

Now the next thing you have to do is run out and get something to smoke. Then just smoke it and if you have any questions just post  them here and we will answer all your questions that you might have. Oh yea there's no stupid questions we were all there in the beginning and we just really like to help others enjoy the fabulous smoked foods that we do. So again

Welcome to Your New Addiction    

Bucktailer,

I am currently waiting on delivery of a Lang 36.  I made the decision to not ask for the slide out racks because the rails will have to be welded in and may pose a problem when loading turkeys or large hams.  This may not be an issue on the 84 but I decided to leave the upper rack as designed.

The people at Lang are very helpful and I am sure they will do whatever they can to build the smoker you will be happy with. 

Take a good look at the covers you are interested in.  The pits are painted with high temperature paint.  I would think that in some environments you will get as much rust from trapping all the humidity between the steel and the cover then just letting it dry out real well after a good rain.  There again Ben can give you better advice then I can.

Thanks pineywoods.  I am trying to weigh out whether or not to get it.  Just seems like it would be nice to have.  How is the 84 running for you?

Buck, Just order the Lang if you have the $$. Then all you have to worry about is filling it up with meat to smoke.
