[@ddmau7995]

I've got a LANG offset smoker . Works great . It's a 36 " back yard model. Stoking the firebox is key, then like Harry Soo said , a log per hour . I also mix in chunks of pecan, post oak or apple depending on the meat cooking . Shelves slide out and trays drop down for storage.

[@SlapYoDaddyBBQ]

You're right. The Lang is considered by many to be the best reverse flow offset smoker. I've used it twice and I love it.

[@williamweiss6128]

Nice rig!! Hello from Idaho.

[@victorbenner539]

That's a great looking pit. I really like this trailer style that has swing out walls to make a large roof area to get out of the sun and rain. I notice we don't see reverse flow as much as we did a few years ago. But again great looking pit. 👍😁🔥

Wow Great Video! I've learned a lot from your videos and everyone says I make the best ribs they've ever tasted... Thanks to you. I'm very intrigued about the Tofu... Does he slice it first or just smoke it whole as a brick? Keep making these great videos. Thanks

[@SlapYoDaddyBBQ]

It depends on the firmness of the tofu. For less firm ones, I grill the whole block on a foil sheet. For very firm tofu, you can cut into steaks. Also can cook in a pan with sauce. Tofu absorbs the flavors of the ingredients you add and is very neutral. Try it in the pit and you may like it. Or you can use it to terrorize your guests who don't like your BBQ that you'll serve them tofu! :-)

Hi, Harry wanna ask is there any different with fire box shape and cylinder shape?

Yes, pitmakers have different ideas on fix box shape. For example, research the Moberg which has a special cylinder design for the fire box connect to the main cooking chambers. Also look at Lang Smokers, Klose, and Millscales on their design and construction. They are some of the most well know and respected offsets.
