after reading several threads about the cheap chip pans and chips burning up and the solution being chunks, i was going to do that, sadly i got several bags of chips with my smoker, but the chunks sound like the way to go. Thanks for the info

kurtas, i know you already found my thread on that smokers bigger brother, but for others i will post it anyway, i also updated mine with new info from my 2nd smoke with it http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/239062/dyna-glo-43in-wide-body-propane-smoker-pict-heavy If yours is like mine and has...

Smoked a meatloaf a couple of days ago, and can report that when the weather is cooler, and it is raining, the temp with both burners on low is around 215 and holds it very consistently.  My attempt to not have a flareup in the chip pan met with limited success, i wrapped the chips in aluminum...

I recently had to replace my masterbuilt xl and after looking at several smokers i settled on the Dyna-glo. I've smoked a couple of times on it now, and here is the review. First up, this thing is big, it is as wide as the masterbuilt xl, its depth is about a inch less, and the height is about...

I use one of these

Thanks for the review, that was exactly what i was looking for.. Do you have a link for the hose you swapped out? had a couple of other quesitons i pm'ed you

First off, you will have to pardon me if this sounds like a stupid question but i used to work tech support and you have no idea the number of times i got a call for a monitor that was not turned on. Your wood that your smoker is burning up, do you have that soaked in water prior to use, or are...

Does anyone know anything about these, or the company, they any good, do they suck down the propane, leak terribly, have a terrible smoke, or water pan, poor circulation. Any info would help, my old smoker is starting to walk on its last legs and i am looking at a new one. I have heard that the...

Well the day after i posted this thread, i found a listing on craigslist for a General 10" slicer, it was a older model one, but it also was only $100, and was only missing the slicer deflector, and i found that on ebay for $7 it runs, everything moves like it should, it needs some serious...

I have had a chefs choice for a while, and it has served me well, but i want to step up to a larger more professional unit to get those consistent deli ultra thin slices. i would like to keep it in the $350-400 range, but am willing to go up to $500 I remember reading some threads on the...

Made a minor mod to how mine is set up, mine is now a pellet smoker only, using one of the amazing tube smokers, with some of what i have i could easily still make it a chunks or chips burner, i even have the iron skillet, but for the most part i prefer the pellets. The sand is to help maintain...

nope the smoker does not have an extra vent in the bottom, i have thought of adding one, but as long as the tube smoker works without it, i wont. And as far as i know the tube only smokes pellets, but i really hope it will burn dust as i ordered 5lbs of mesquite dust while thinking i was...

first, to answer your water or sand question, i use sand, as to the advantages/disadvantages of pellets over chips/chucks, for me, its cost and storage size, per hour of smoke the pellets are a little cheaper, for the storage comment you have to take into consideration the smoke time vs space...

I got one in and have tested it in my masterbuilt xl, i cranked the temp to give it a good test, and here are the results, it burned as expected for the 4-5 hrs that the 12" is said to smoke (noticed it was closer to 5hrs then 4) and this is with some 100% cherry pellets i found on amazon 20lbs...

You could check home depot or lowe's for a pipe of the right diameter for the wheels at least if the wheels are just as pictured and have the barrings in the center. For that matter if you can find a bolt of the right dia you could just bolt the wheels directly to your cart by drilling holes in...
