    New Dyna-Glo vertical offset smoker

    So after 4 smoking sessions the smoker started "leaking" smoke between the coal box and the smoker body - right in the center about 2 inch separation in silicone occurred. This was due to the fact that the smoker body kept "flexing" with temp changes. So.... I cleaned it up, packed the whole...

    Smoke number 2

    Did a duck, bacon, ribs and salmon..... Lessons learned : - read recipies three times..... Crisscrossed the salmon recipe and missed the part that talked about rinsing off the rub marinating rub prior to sticking it into the smoker... Talk about saaaaaalty! - time and temp means it is done but...

    Looks like you riveted it to the smoker? I sort of like the idea but am concerned with the possibility of trapped moisture....

    First time smoking :)

    So here's an update : everything came out great though needing a wee nit more salt. Due to some behavioral issues with the 4 year old I didn't get to take pics of the rnd product. Many thanks to all for the recommendations and suggestions!

    First time smoking :)

    Thanks! I have to admit that I do have some trepidation and I am hoping that I didn't bite off more then I can chew :D (literally and figuratively as that's going to be a boatload of meat!!!!). Weather is nice here - fairly warm with Santa Ana winds so after we come back from buying our 4 year...

    First time smoking :)

    Thanks! I know that I should probably follow the KISS principle BUT (T) adding chicken breasts should be simple (I have always done chicken breasts on the side when I BBQ'd - our 4 year old loves it as cold cuts for breakfast) and..... I have a slab of ribs that I gotta use up.... I either throw...

    New Dyna-Glo vertical offset smoker

    Actually what happened is that the door got "stuck" to the fire box wall. The nuts and bolts were loose enough to move but the slider was just stuck. When the FB cooled down I had to pry it away from the wall and then it started moving.... Weird...

    First time smoking :)

    meat that is... in a smoker :D So I got a wide body Dyna Glo smoker from my wife for Christmas and she graciously enough allowed me to open it up and start using it earlier. I have seasoned it today (2 hours + at 250F) and I think (hope? :) ) that I know how to keep the temp stable after...

    New Dyna-Glo vertical offset smoker

    So - tightened the fire box slider a bit too much.... couldn't move it when thhings got hot!!!! Forgot that metal expands ;) On a different note - no leaks anyplace I assembled but I did have a slight leak from the upper right hand side of the door (right at the corner). Gonna have to look and...

    New Dyna-Glo vertical offset smoker

    Thanks! Found it... Wasnt easy to install them as the holes were a wee bit off and I have siliconed pretty nicely the surfaces between the fire box and the smoker box. For all those that are sealing with silicone - please remeber to put on a bead, let it set for 20 minutes and then mate...

    New Dyna-Glo vertical offset smoker

    I just finished the assembly and I am a bit perplexed - it says to use 6 bolts between the firebox and the smoker body yet there are only 4 places to use the bolts at.... am I missing something?

    New Dyna-Glo vertical offset smoker

    Woohoo! My smoker just came in..... I have read this thread twice and I will start by insulating the fire box to the smoker, insulating the firebox doors (the smoker doors are already insulated) and I will add wheels..... Now regarding seasoning - the instructions say season for a short...
