I did quite a bit of research before choosing this Dyna Glo smoker. This smoker arrived well packaged and was easy to assemble. My assembly took a little more time than the norm, as I made a few mods in order to seal up any potential areas I saw for heat and smoke loss. I love the offset coal rack because it allows you to add coals and wood without opening the smoker and losing heat. So far, I've smoked ribs, a pork butt, pork tenderloin, and a beer can chicken and all have turned out great. I'm still learning this smoker but have been pleasantly surprised with results so far. I've found that I had better results maintaining heat with charcoal versus lump coal, but this is only because I'm still learning the process. I like the lump flavoring much more than the charcoal. The minion method has been the best method to use in order to maximize and maintain good temps. If you are serious about getting a new smoker and you are looking at this one in your final group, I highly recommend this smoker.
Use more charcoal then you think
It was pretty easy to assemble the only dislike was directions have you put the grease tray on last.
Seasoned smoker by using charcoal and large wood chips for 8hrs. This really coated the inside completely and sealed the unit well. Smoked 2 racks of Spare Ribs and 1 pork loin for 1 hr. Then wrapped the Ribs in foil with butter and apple juice. added more charcoal and brought the heat up a little to finish Ribs and Pork Loin. Both came out perfect. Dispatched cut a whole Chicken the next day and smoked the same way and it too was perfect. Well worth the price. Recommending to all my friends. Cover the bottom of the smoker box with foil to save cleaning the bottom.
IT is very tight,little leaks and holds the temp. very easy,used it last weekend and was the best B-B-Q I have made Have been using a barrel smoker,but this was much better.The price was great,60 dollars less then home depot and lowes(they both had the same price and no they will not price match Wal-Mart online)
Off set fire box with vent, top control vent, maximum shelves, solid construction are all features that make this smoker top notch. Only feature that might improve, is wheels on legs on the tall end of Smoker. Handles on each end make it easy for 2 people to move.
Ok. I just received this smoker delivered in the mail about 2.5 weeks ago. Shipped fast and free. Came in very good packing order and easy to assemble. For the last 4 years I smoked on the Brinkman smoke n' grill before this one. I already used the dyna glo 2 times in 2 weeks and I absolutely love it! Mind you it's not the thickest steel like the Oklahoma Joe brand, but this guy works great! I just did 2 slabs of back ribs and a small pork butt for 6 hours and they came out the best I ever did. The ease of use of this think really satisfied me. Maintaining the fire pit what I love. So easy compared to the Brinkman. Stayed steady at 225 to 240 degrees all day in the Florida heat. For piece of mind I sprayed the cook box in and out side with canola oil for hope of longevity, although I keep in the garage. Great product! Best $170 ever!
I put gaskets around both doors. Put rtv sealant between firebox and food box before assembling. I also put 2 draw latches on. One top right and one bottom right corner. Pulls door tight after installing gasket material. Everything sealed up tight works great.
I found that the metal is too thin and it doesn't contol heat very well. The smoker box is directly adjacent to the heat box so the meat in closest proximity to the heat cooks 3x faster than the top racks. The only way to keep the meat from burning or drying out is to rotate frequently. The frequent opening of the cook box depletes the heat and further increases your smoke time. I've used a horizontal smoker with an offset fire box for years so I thought this was an upgrade instead it was a waste of money. Unfortunately, now that it's used it can't be returned.
My first try using this smoker was very disappointing. The firebox leaks on top where it meets the smoker area. Paint burnt off on first use and is now rusting. Charcoal area cannot handle more than 1 chimney of coal and the wood / coal tray does not allow proper air circulation. I had a really hard time keeping it at 225 degrees due to the poor air flow on the unit. I called Dyna-Glo and asked what they would recommend, their representative told me to return it to Walmart.
