Hi Yall

[crvan]

Just got the call from Lang Cookers, My new smoker will be here tomorrow HEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAW

I shouldn't say couldn't, it was really more of a wouldn't. Even with gaskets and mods and everything else the metal was just too thin, I needed an entire chimney to get to operating temp. My last cook was a Boston Butt, took 5 chimneys to get through the cook.

My dad has an old Kenmore (I think) gas grill from the mid/late 80s, with glass front. He's put I don't know how many burners and such in that thing over the years. Still uses it . He used to clean the glass with some kind of cleaner and a razor blade to get the gunk off but he gave up on doing that years ago.

@crvan: Either in the beef recipes or the PORKnography recipes. Best to keep cooks in their context but we won't yell at you if you post it in Gen Disc.

Yea, I love that old thing, think they were outlawed in 1987 more than likely some fool turned on the gas then went in the house got a lighter looked through the glass front and lit it from the bottom. We all know how that turned out.
I only use for rotisserie now she is semi retired. Next time I put on a nice ribeye roast I'll post the pics

Welcome! I saw the thumbnail of the Charbroil and thought "is that an old console TV?", then I saw Microsoft and thought it might be some computerized gizmo. And congrats on the chargriller, I had one of those old things and couldn't do anything with it, finally pawned it off on some poor sucker. Ready to see some Del Boca Vista cooks!

Welcome, Rob... ex-Houston guy here.... left to Austin in 1981 for college. I know what you mean about the stall... in my early days, the stall was the time to do a beer run.

Hello Rob, and welcome to the club! Love the Vintage Charbroil!

[boftx]

My guess would be under "General Discussion" but one of the moderators could give a better answer.

[crvan]

Brisket and shoulder it is, I'll document every step with each including the prep the rub and everything in between including the 150 beer break.

Where should I post the cook

[boftx]

Oh man, you gotta break that baby in with a brisket AND a shoulder!

[crvan]

Hell, you kidding I get seasick in the bathtub. I'll document every step on my first cook with the Lang. I am hoping it will be like crawling out of a cup car racing the Daytona 500 and getting into a go-cart at an amusement center but we will see. Up in the air ----- What should I cook?

Welcome Rob! The article on the Stall is the exact same article that go me hooked on this website. Thanks for sharing so much great info and doing a FANTASTIC job filling out your sig! I can't wait to see pics of that Lang
