By the way Mista... When are you coming to Chicago to work on your cold weather cooking???? LOL

I think the reason the Spicewine wasn't mentioned was just due to the op talking about the Stumps. You could def. add the Spicewine and the Backwoods into the mix.

ABS Judge

I borrowed Music City Pigpal's ABS Judge last week because mine hasn't delivered yet. It was 27-30 degrees and windy in KY at our event and I had no problem keeping consistent 225-250 temp. Used lump charcoal and a little wood for smoke. Took a chimney and 10 lbs of charcoal to get up to temp in about an hour. Added about 1/3 of a bag every 45 minutes or so.

Cooked 8 butts, 6 briskets, and 15 racks for abut 11 hours on 4 bags of lump. All were just right.

We have a Lang 108 and enjoy cooking on it. We are selling it and I am downsizing to a smaller cooker (no time for catering anymore). We are looking at Lang again (60), Spicewine, and Superior.
It will be hard for me to imagine not cooking on a Lang. Love the cooker.
