Good presentation. I just bought mine too as a portable warmer unit to my main stationary smoker. I just can't move it because it is about 1000 lbs.

Thank you for the knowledge sir!

I got this same smoker for the same reason!

Nice job going over the smoker.

I cooked on one for awhile. If your set on keeping it the easiest way I found to get it to cook even is to put a piece of foil on the bottom shelf.

@gamvik352

Thaddus Clay It works as a baffle so to keep temps even all across the cooking chamber, same as it would in an offset. What I would do is buy a piece of sheet metal from Lowe’s and cut it to half the size of the bottom rack, and place it to the side of the firebox on top of the bottom rack. To balance out temps

What did you use to seal the gaps?

I bought this unit on sale for $120...I Have 3 Weber Kettles...And 2 thick gauge off set smokers...bought this because of the cooking space..metal is very thin..will work great in summer when it's hot and dry...but when windy and cold no matter if you use charcoal or lump coal Temps will only get to 180..I Use it As a food warmer...!!! Works Great for Me as a Warmer For Catering Gigs..!!

Hi, how wide are the cooking grates?

I just found this video. good overview. What gauge steel is the smoker? Been looking at this one Thanx

My apologies for the delayed response. Disclaimer first I'm not a metal worker so just measuring it with my tape measure and looking up the measurement my best guess is it's about an 1/8" so about 11 gauge.

I have the smaller version of that smoker. I sealed it and it works great !!

Did you ever find out how many ribs the rib rack hold on the dyna glo offset smoker

@KIRBBQ

4 жыл бұрын

It came with seven racks, two racks of St. Louis Spares can fit on each so you can do 14 slab on this model. However for me, the heat isn't evenly distributed within the cooking chamber so you'll have to rotate the ribs and the firebox isn't effiecent enough to give a 4 to 6 hour cook without refueling.

Hey Kirby That is a great price on that one! I was looking at them and wondered if it could be modded to burn wood. Your thoughts? I do like the vertical concept….. and wow, there is so much room and options with all the racks. Smoke On Brother!

Let me ask you a question do u pan your Turkey or do u put it on rack

@KIRBBQ

3 жыл бұрын

I usually put it directly on the rack unless I know the person who order it will present it (use it as the table center piece) then I'll pan it so that it doesn't get any marks on the bottom. Or if the person has requested gravey I'll pan it for the juices to make the gravey with.

It would help if you made your video in the light so we can see what you are doing.

Okay thank u the bird is 14 lbs in going to cook it between 250 to 275 is that right temperature

@KIRBBQ

3 жыл бұрын

That's up you I like cooking hot and fast so I shoot for 275 to 300. The will ensure I get a crisp skin. A tip I learned from America's Test for getting crispy skin is salting your bird (dry brine) and placing the bird in the fridge uncover for 24hr this will dry the skin out and give you bite through skin. So you can cook at a lower temp if you like and not get rubbery skin. I hope this helps.

Are you still liking your Dyna Glo? Any issues getting up to 250 degrees or so in cold weather? Some have said the thin metal is an issue in colder weather. Thanks!

Rob I don't have it any longer (sold it) I did have issues with it coming up to temp initially. For me the fix was placing a brick under the firebox legs after that I it got hot without issue.

@KIRBBQ

@@robolive123 My driveway (where it used to be at) wasn't level. I surmise the brick levelled it out allowing the heat to flow evenly in it. I don't know if you've ever cooked on a large offset (on a trailer) but often when having issues with heat one will either raise or lower the hitch jack to help with the air flow. So I believe that is what was at play with this smoker. It had to be level to work properly. I hope this helps.

Alright, give it to me straight. Thinking of traveling a long ways to compete and someone offered me this smoker to borrow. Can’t take mine with. Will this work for a KCBS comp? Is it big enough for a brisket flat, point, 4 butts, 4 racks of ribs and 2 trays of chicken? Or is that pushing it? Give me the honest truth!

I wouldn't try to do a pro comp with it. While the cooking chamber is large. I think you'll struggle to maintain the Temps to ensure everything gets done in time. I hope this helps.

@SmokecraftBBQ It's up to you if you're down for it. I agree with that adage, but you also want the right tool for the right job. I used that smoker as a backup for large cooks. It never finished anything on time. I usually ended up moving the food to my 270 once its load came out. I eventually sold it. You're more proficient at comp cooking than I, so you could probably pull it off. I would recommend having a fire guy to help make adjustments while you do other stuff. Good luck bruh keep up the great work on your channel too!

I haven't made any yet thought I'm thinking it's going to need a baffle. There's a hot zone the first 4 - 6" away from the fire box. So far that's the only thing I think I need to tweak on it.

Sounds like a Cajun accent
