These things are amazing, easy to use easy to build and great results. Around the same time my friend had a few Lang smokers and was generous enough to let me borrow one.
This thing was a huge 84’ deluxe trailer. This thing screamed BBQ! Before I lit my first fire in it, I spent my nights watching videos, looking at forums and reading blogs like this one. Finally the time had come. I had my ribs prepped and my wood ready. Time to light this thing up. Watching that fire grow and build was awesome. Knowing that with this I had to work and pay attention to keep my temps correct. The experience of watching this fire grow and the smoke starting to roll was awesome. As soon as the temps stabilized, I put on the ribs I had prepped. The smell started wafting through the air grew as the ribs cooked. Like I said, I read everything I could find so I was using the techniques found in “Smokin with Myron Mixon”, which was my go to book. To use a stick burner for the first time was such a cool experience, but to eat those ribs (which by my standards today were definitely not my best) I thought I had gone to heaven. They were smoky, juicy and fall of the bone.
