It's been a long time since I've had anything to post here on my favorite site. We sold our house (and my stick burner) a little over 3 years ago. We moved into our motorhome and traveled. We finally decided to get a house again and now I'm shopping for a new smoker. For the last 3 years I've have been pretty much sold on getting a Lang. I really hadn't considered anything else. The house we bought is in Michigan (I'm as surprised as anyone that we ended moving so far north). With the cooler temps I'm thinking I might like the HBT Deluxe model instead since it has a insulated fire box. While I'm certain the Lang 48 is a good size for my wife and I and the occasional extended family for the same $$ I can get a 60" model with HBT. One of my dislikes of the HBT is the diamond plate, but I spoke with Jamie today and he can build it out of 1/4" smooth steel for the same price.
Does anyone have experience with cooking in colder temps, do you think the insulated fire box would be a plus? I'm thinking this is the deal maker / breaker.
Thanks guys,
