Welcome to SMF the reverse flows are very good smokers. If he brought it by maybe he'll let you fire it up and check it out. What kind of tank and what thickness steel is he using?

Welcome to the SMF. Plenty of good advise will be by real soon. I moved your thread to roll call, so that everyone can give you a warm welcome. It's all good my friend.

 

[smokyjoe]

Heres a link to the Lang website in case you haven't seen it

I have a Lang and really like it in fact everybody that I know that has a Lang likes them.

it looks as though I'll be reading more on this site from now on thanks for the info.

and a lang is a very forgiving cooker, you can add water/apple juice or whatever to the tray for a water bath effect at least until you get the hang of it and don't need it.
