Lang 84″ Original Model Review

Share on:
Lang 84" Original

Lang’s 84″ Smoker Cooker is their most popular large capacity, mobile model. With a 71.25″ x 28″ bottom rack and 53.5 x 27″ upper rack, Lang claims it will hold 83 chickens, or 40 – 8lb. butts, or 35 slabs of baby backs. Expanded metal cooking grates are reinforced with square tubing frames. It has a V-shaped grease pan or trough with 2″ brass gate valve and a 24″ x 24″ firebox.

Large black cabinet with door open showing two cooking racks. A chimney comes out of the top It sits on pavement with green bushes in the background.

Like all Lang smokers, the 84″ Original employs their signature reverse flow design which some believe provides more even air and heat flow than traditional offsets that have a firebox on one side and chimney on the other. Reverse Flow smokers place the chimney directly above the firebox, so heat travels along the bottom of the cook tank to the opposite side where it flows upward then reverses course and heads back where it came from then out the chimney.

Our MSRP below is for the basic trailer model. Upgrades are available such as warmer boxes that sit on top the firebox, add-on charcoal grills and extended trailers. Also offered on wheels w/o the trailer and in 36″, 48″, 60″ and 108″ sizes.
