Hi Everyone.
Been lurking this page for over a year now, figured I would finally signup and join the fun.
Started smoking a year ago when I got my Weber grill. Started with Ribs, then I also picked up a old used Big Chief to make some jerky last year, and lets face it, I was hooked.
I tried a ECB, but was not really a fan, to many mods needed to make it work they way I want.
So now I am waiting on the Delivery of my Dyna-Glo DGO1176BDC-D Charcoal Offset Smoker!!!
I have already read through the forums on this smoker and ordered some nomex and RTV for when I am putting it together. And can't wait to get going with it!!!
I do have a question. I was able to convince the wife to let me get this purely for doing Jerky, now I am reading a lot of people not recommending using charcoal for Jerky. I would assume the would be do to the temp control. Anyone on here have any luck smoking and Drying jerky in a offset smoker such as this?
Now don't get me wrong, I see plenty of Ribs, Briskets and chicken in this smokers future, but I am just trying to avoid the Wrath of Wife here, lol.
Look forward to your suggestions and input!! Now back to the forums fro some more learnings!
