New Cooker Help Lang Vs Meadow Creek

I had the same issue not being able to decide between a Lang and a Meadow Creek. Now keep in mind I BBQ part time only on the weekends for crowds of 100 to 300 most of the time, and had a few pull behind rigs in my years of doing Q. Last yearI went to a open house and talked to Eric at Mason Dixon BBQ services in Greencastle Pa. with all intents of buying a Meadow Creek TS250. Instead, I ended up spending less and going with the Meadow Creek CD108G Caterer's Delight for around $4000 it has a Large Multi smoker / cooker and a chicken cooker all on one trailer. I bought a extra ss rack and the charcoal tray for the big cooker so I can burn hard wood and charcoal and have the propane for back up. It's worked so good for me I'm mounting another chicken cooker on the trailer this year. Well worth the money and didn't spend a ton of doe for a great quality product. Good luck

I've had over 25 butts on my pr-60 with room to spare, a bbq 42 can cook a case of thighs at a time so yes the cd108 can turn out lots of food! Like I said before I think most of the MC products are a great value I just can't justify the cost of the TS series.
I did however order one of the new bx50 box smokers and I can't wait for its maiden voyage.

jeffry1970, do you use the charcoal pan in you pr60? I start off with a 20 lb. (10 lbs. down each side) bag of charcoal topped with some hardwood splits. Smokes whatever I'm cooking very well. Then when kick on the propane after the temp goes down to finish the cook. Great cooker for the money.
