As some of you know I own a stick burner and that's what I do 99% of my cooks on. I have notice that most of you on this forum cook with a PBC or a pellet smoker which I don't own either and don't plan on it no time soon. My point is I would like to see more posts and pics of the ones that own a stick burner besides me and Huskee. The PBCers and peller cookers share info with each other so why can't us stick burners do the same? We can learn from each other like the PBCers and pellet cookers do. I hope the PBCers or the pellet cookers don't take this post wrong. I have nothing against neither But because I don't own either one of them it doesn't benefit me at all. So for those on this forum that cooks with a stick burner why can't we post pics of our cooks and learn from each other?

Yeah there isn't a whole lot on here, I assume most of em can't get time away from burning logs to updateI'd like to see some setups for people who have them in like a residential neighborhood, seems like they would take up way too much space in my backyard. There are a lot of cooks I would like to do on a stick burner, but they all seem to be the size of a sedan.

DW, nice post.
I am looking forward to learning how to cook on a stick burner and am currently getting together materials for building a reverse flow stick burner made out of a 3/16 thick 80 gallon air tank approx. 24" x 48".
It is going to have a double wall 1/4" thick fire box insulated with 1"Ceramic Fiber Insulation (Michigan weather this weekend 4 degrees)
I have a few questions for you, what do you like and dislike about your Lang?
Do you wish for any options you do not have?
Do you use the warming box option much?
I was thinking of having a hinged lid on the top of the fire box with a grate to use as a grill like the lone Star Grillz' LSG 24''x48'' has with possibly having a small removable warming box to attach on top if needed.(maybe to hold a couple steam table pans)
Any thoughts or ideas from you or others experiences would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Dean

One thing I really like about the Yoder and Horizon offsets is the hinged flip-top firebox, so you can use the firebox as a charcoal/wood grill. You can also get them with a cooking chamber charcoal grate to use the big chamber as a huge grill. You get a lot of versatility with stickburners depending on how they're constructed.

PowerSmoke I like everything about my Lang and have no dislikes. I do use the warming box some to cook beans and other side dishes. Sometimes I do wish that I had a charcoal grill attach to it. But other than that I'm very happy with it. Don't forget to post pics of your stick burner when you get it built.

DWC I'd love to have a stick burner but my deck is covered and twenty feet in the air. Not conducive to a 1000 lb smoking monster. Maybe one day I'll add a Pit Boss test kitchen to the basement and have a stick burner in the back yard. Hey, I can dream!

I am closer to my dream "Stick Burner". I just need to decide whether to get the patio model or the trailer mounted one. I am leaning towards the trailer mounted one as they are heavy and it would make moving easier. I am like Dave in that my outdoor kitchen is on my second story deck. Even though this is relatively small for a Lang it is heavy. The patio model weighs in at about 1400 lbs and the trailer model weighs even more so it will stay on the ground in the back yard. I will have to do some designing of where to put it and how I want the area around it to blend in. I am excited about this project. The trailer model makes it easy to take it to the car wash to clean.
I am shooting for September this year.

I'm not trying to talk anyone in getting a stick burner. I'm asking the members of this forum that have a stick burner to share pics and info of their cooks.

It is interesting how so many of us value authentic recipes and ingredients (homemade mayo, grinding your own peppers to make homemade chili powder, grinding wheat to make our own bread, etc) yet to many the thought of burning firewood to smoke our food tends to evoke images of cavemen and painstaking work. Sitting around a bonfire with your friends and family telling stories or playing guitar and laughing is fun fun fun. No one thinks of tossing wood on every half hour as work, but instead, relaxation.
Burning logs for smoking is just that- stoking a bonfire inside a stove of sorts. But it is the most authentic way of preparing your food there is, aside from a hole in the ground or sticks aimed over a bonfire. The flavor is as real as it gets, and the experience is rewarding in a way you don't know until you do it and see. You don't need electricity, you don't need fans (but a BBQ Dragon is helpful on still days I'll admit that), you don't need thermostats. Aside from your thermometer you just need a lighter and a pile of wood.
The downside is they are expensive, expect to pay $1,000-2500 for a decent backyard model, plenty more for a trailer model. But they are a delight to own a run!

Huskee, you stated " (but a BBQ Dragon is helpful on still days I'll admit that)".
Is there something to get it to draw properly so that is not needed?
As in adjusting dampers on firebox or chimney or is the BBQ Dragon easier like a pellet grill?LOL!
-
@Powersmoke_80 sorry for the delay in replying...
It needs a good burning fire to draw air properly, fire & heat is the engine that makes it all work and sometimes if your wood isn't the best you just struggle getting the fire rip roaring. And when there's a still day (little to no wind) to fan the flames, I find the BBQ Dragon is a lifesaver. I never use it when the fire's going good, it's just for starting or for when I have to add some fresh wood. I usually try to preburn a lot of my wood so that when adding it takes off quick, but sometimes I run out or am just too lazy.
