Baby Back Ribs Battle - DynaGlo Vertical Offset Smoker vs Masterbuilt Gravity Series 560
It’s time for the RIB ROYALE, a Baby Back Battle. I get tasty results from both these smokers when I do ribs, so I decided to smoke a rack of Baby Back Ribs on the Dyna-Glo Vertical Offset Charcoal Smoker and smoke another rack of Baby Backs on the Masterbuilt Gravity Series at the same time to do the side-by-side comparison. Who wins this epic fight??? 🍖

Yep,I totally agree. I bought one several years ago and have removed the undersized firebox and built a 20"×20"×14" firebox with 1/4"steel and put 2 separate sheets of 1/8" with insulation in between on the smoke chamber and installed a bigger chimney, now it's a smoker that I can use for long cooks.
How do you keep your temperature to stay steady? If I fill the basket up and put coals on top, it will go above 325 and trying to use the damper makes dirty smoke with no air flow.
@EverettBBQ
2 жыл бұрын
I usually try to add a small chimney of coals to just the front corner and my goal is that it catches diagonally before the entire box gets going... I usually never top out above 275-285 but I do also use that loaf pan as a bit of a heat deflector and using the side damper helps but I rarely choke out the top stack. If you're using lump, I would go combo lump and briquettes to take the heat spikes down. If you're already using a combo, I would use less lump and more briquettes. I have also been running with less wood chunks and smaller pieces at that to keep my flare ups and smoke flavor a little more judicious for lack of a better term. I think Dyna cooks hot in the summer months for sure, so I will also build a more modest fire in general until the weather changes. Thanks so much for checking out the video and for the comment. Cheers to you and happy smoking my friend! 🔥
Those temperature spikes can be a monster!!!
In my mind, you also need to consider the price difference between the two. $500 for the MasterBuilt, which I have to say definitely has my curiosity up, vs. $176 for the Dyna-Glo on Amazon. Even adding the cover on the Dyna-Glo for another $35 still puts the price at less than half of the MasterBuilt. I know where my vote is going. Also, I do not own either of these, but considering both. I think I've made my decision. Thank you for the video, Everett BBQ.

Thanks for the video, I was wondering how the Dyna actually smoked. Seen it once and of course on Amazon. The price is so low had me wondering if it smokes good or not. I was also worried about the size of the firebox, seems a little small, but you made it seem like it works fine.

It works really well but it is very high maintenance on the refueling and timing of it. Still to this day some of the best ribs that I've ever eaten and some of the craziest smoke rings I've produced. The biggest downside is that the smoker is made of very thin metal and I am worried how long it will hold up but considering the price, I feel I've already gotten my investment back.

Outstanding, Sean! My last two Dyna-Glo cooks I feel are very descriptive on how to build the fire in the Dyna. I like to use a combination of charcoal and briquettes with just a few chunks of wood in the fire box. Four or five small chunks of hickory, a bed of charcoal briquettes, then a top layer of lump charcoal. I try to leave the front corner of the firebox open for a small number of lit charcoal briquettes from a chimney. That usually keeps the Dyna going 250-275 for me. I also like to use a small water pan on one of the lower racks inside the cook chamber. Best of luck Sean and happy smoking to you, sir! 🔥

are u flipping the meat also do u wait till u have a fire started get to the temp u need then put in the food
@EverettBBQ
Жыл бұрын
I did not flip the ribs over until the wrapping phase. In the foil wrap I like to finish cooking it meat side down, so that it cooks in its own juices. To be honest, I am not worried about starting my smoke sessions at any temperature because the lower temps and early smoke is what I'm trying to put on a lot of larger cuts of meat as of late. Happy smoking out there! 🔥
I’m also from Indiana. I have a pellet grill, electric smoker, and a Kamado grill. I’ve smoked everything on all of them. Thinking about getting an offset. My first choice was an Oklahoma Joe’s. After watching several videos, including yours, I’m going to take a good look at the Dyna-Glo!

Offset is the way to go for sure, at least it is an option we should all have on cooks. I have read some good things about Oklahoma Joe's as well but can't say I have any experience with them.

Can you build a wood fire in the dyna glo or is it specifically for charcoal
@EverettBBQ

Thanks very much, Shane. I believe Dyna is for charcoal and wood chunks as the best combo but that' just my opinion. I have never had success burning just wood splits, no matter how small. It really needs the consistent burning of charcoal but again I have heard of other folks getting away with burning just wood. I don't believe it is the way, just my two cents. When it comes down to it, you do you boo boo. Really appreciate the comment, sir.

Depends what you're cooking and how you're trying to cook it. I can usually do a nice rack of ribs no problem but I don't take too much time on ribs, probably just over four hours of cook time in the 250-275 range before refueling depending on temps outside, humidity, wind, etc.
I just got standard version of Dyna Glo. Haven't used it yet. I see people doing coals and wood every 30 minutes or doing what you do and filling it up and pouring started coals on top. Does the smoker maintain for longer with this method. I do a lot of pork butts NC BBQ style.

What temp do you want the ribs before you put the BBQ sauce on? And was that mustard brown sugar and honey on the foil?
@EverettBBQ
3 жыл бұрын
If I'm glazing sauce on after a wrap, I like to do it in the 200-205 range. That way I'm just tacking the sauce on for about 15-20 minutes max but If I'm going unwrapped, I will likely sauce them a earlier and apply a second sauce as a glaze at the end to give it a nice finished look. On the Foil Wrap - I use Parkay squeeze butter, brown sugar and honey. I working on a finishing dust for the wrap that has brown suger and honey powder in it but the dehydrated butter hasn't given off the same flavor as the old fashioned parkay. Best of luck with your ribs Jonny! :)

Red silicone on the joined parts during assembly, black silicone on noted leaks during seasoning, and cut two holes for probe grommets.
