I cater (usually 30-50 people events) and cook for home (family and friends) and LOVE my LANG 36" Hybrid Patio Smoker (with the 30" charcoal grill on the front). Only $1500 plus delivery, but you should be close enough to pick it up and save a couple hundred.
I've had 3 butts and 3 racks of ribs on the smoker, with two dozen thighs on the grill portion (offset grilling) at the same time! Great for catering and even competing for some comps.
As far as temp control and fuel - I can get 2-3 hours at 275 degrees between opening the firebox!
If I was to do it over again - I'd get the LANG 48" Hybrid. Just saying!
Stick Burners can turn out great product but you need to baby sit them closely. If you only burn sticks
the fire box will need to be fed every half hour or so and you will need to work the vents to insure you have a
stable temp in the cooker. This can take a lot of practice to get right.
I don't know how these cook but i like the layout. It was made by HBT Welding in Section Al.
Here is the video for the warmer/oven and it is mounted on the vertical smoker, so what you see in the video will be primarily what I'll have. lone star grillz warmer box 2 - YouTube
