What Will I Need For My New Smoker

[Cack]

I've made up my mind and I'm going to go with the Lang 36 Original Patio Smoker for my upgrade. I mostly cook for myself and my g/f (who will be getting her something shiny shortly so I can get my dull matte black something) and on occasions we do a little family/friend cookout.

Obviously I have the basic tools and supplies, but what are MUST HAVES that I'll need for a side burner that I might not have needed for my little ol' Brinkmann verticle?

Also, this could be a good time for everyone to show off about their new cooking toys and give some ideas that the rest of us may not have thought of.

Plenty of wood.

Meat:grin::grin:

Ditto on the wood. Also by the looks of that vent on that 36, you might be able to get a IQ110 to fit on it.

Wood, meat, cooler, ice, beverage of choice

You need me there to eat what comes off of it!:becky:

Wood, Meat, Beer. Plenty of all three!

 

[pitbossJB]

Don't forget the beer!

Keep it simple all the extra you have to clean when finish.

Find yourself a metal scoop with squared sides (for cleaning out the firebox.) I made one out of a coffee can - sorry I don't have a pic of it right now.

I also have a small mesh bag that I put over the smokestack to keep critters out when the smoker is not in use. I use a small bungee to keep it in place. Here in Florida, there is no telling what would try to make a home in there... bugs, lizards, frogs, etc. :shock:

I have a chemney shovel that I use for my ash/clean up now ... would that work or will there be a ton more with wood?

That will probably be fine.

what is that?

IQ110 is a pretty inexpensive pit controller. I use one on my WSM. Set it and forget it. It looks like (to me) that if you get the WSM adaptor for it, it might fit the 36.

The Maverick 732 is a remote thermometer. A must have if you ask me. Monitors pit and food temps with hi and lo alarms. and wireless!
