Post some pictures for us when you get it, I would like to see a moded lang from factory. What exactly did you request from them to do on firebox? I am thinking of asking them on my future lang for an insulated firebox if possible or 1/2 inch steel instead. Did you get the idea of the stretch model from the youtube video?

Yes, I did get it from YouTube. Did order 36' hybrid deluxe patio.then changed to wagon wheel cart. By chance,asked about the stretch model and for couple hundred more I could get stretch w/trailer. As far as mod had extra dampers added to crank up the warmer box.

That is gorgeous! Be sure to post more pics when you start cooking on it. I'd love to have that model, but my 48 patio suits me just fine.

Like2que,

Your new Lang looks great. It appears to me based on your pictures that the welding quality and workmanship was done well. Did you by chance speak to Ben Lang or one of the staff members prior to your smoker being built that when you came to pick it up that you would be looking closely at the welding work and finish?

 I have not seen a 36" stretch model listed on their website. What is the difference in a 36" stretch and a 48" hybrid deluxe on a trailer? Your 36 looks like it is a 48.

I like your idea of adding extra dampers to the warmer box.

I hope that you will share some pics of the food when you start smoking and let us all know how you like the smoker.

@pig all the main welds are nice some of secondary welds are a bit sloppy in my opinion.No i didnt really speak to Lang prior to ordering/picking up.Did speak to Mr Lang, he was the first to greet us when we arrived. He himself did notice a couple minor things and had his staff fix on the spot. 36' stretch is same size chamber as 36' hybrid but all smoker. Diameter is smaller then 48 or 60, the length is I believe pretty close to 60 model.

Like2que,

Thank your response and glad to hear that you sound pleased with your smoker.

I look forward to hearing about how you think the smoker works after you get the chance to fire it up a few times and try an assortment of food.

My very best of luck to you.
