So basically I have always been thinking I’m am gonna buy a yoder durango 20 this upcoming spring and reasons why I was going for it was because I like the fact it had almost 2300 inches of cooking area think was 1900 in horizontal chamber and rest was in vertical chamber I also like that it was 1/4 inch steel and was fuel efficant holds temps well and also the vertical chamber could hold low temps (75-200 degrees area) and had a bar up top welded for cheeses fish sausages etc. but now my problem is I have been researching lane smokers and I have been drawn to the lane 48 deluxe I like it has almost or more room then the Durango I like also that it is a reverse flow I like it is same thickness steel as Durango I like the reviews I have seen on both smokers bottom line my question boils down to what anyone can tell good or bad of either one and also I wonder if I can get the warming box in the Lang to hold low temps like the yoder can for cheeses fish etc. because it’s right over the fire box so wonder if that would be a issue both units between shipping and purchase price are gonna run about the same maybe 100-200 diffrence so any and all Input good or bad helps for a decision one other thing I have heard before I go Is Yoder’s craftsmen ship is better then a lane ( welds paint etc) and Yoder’s customer support and claims and sales dept is slightly better the Lang’s wondering if any Info on that also thanks everyone for reading and shareing any input y’all have
