Yes, the deflector plate is essential. After 18mos, I couldn't imagine myself using this thing without it. --FR- fricard

It was painted afterwards, flat black. As for waterproofing, I do store it undercover. However, one of the additional benefits of the mineral wool is that it's free-draining (doesn't hold water). That's why it's so popular in rainscreen cladding systems. That said, I never plan to let get it...- fricard

The metal frame is screwed to the cabinet. That's what holds the insulation in place. First I bend the angle into the proper picture-frame shape, drill 1/8-inch hole in the angle, then use self-drilling/self-tapping screws to attach frame to smoker cabinet. The last step, which is entirely...- fricard

You will not regret it, Powder. Despite the seemingly inferior materials, the fact is, this thing works well. You can really turn out some quality smoked meats with this vertical-offset design. The many mods shown in the previous pages of this thread add much quality (I've done several...- fricard

+1 NEVER put the Dyna-Glo on a wood deck! According to the National Fire Protection Association: "Sparks, embers or flames from operated cooking equipment resulted in 24,900 fires and 120 deaths in 2016." Now, back to the mods. Here's a pic of the insulation that I put on mine. I chose...- fricard

New Dyna-Glo vertical offset smoker
It's looking like I won't get a chance to see until this weekend, Rob. It does have an ever-so-slight slope to it already, just enough to let drippings run off the edge, but it's pretty easy to bend it down a little bit more, if needed. I've seen some pretty big offset barrel smokers that have...- fricard

New Dyna-Glo vertical offset smoker
Just installed a heat-deflector baffle. Had a random piece of sheet metal lying on my work bench. Took the tin-snips to it, drilled some smoke holes too. Secured it in place with three pop-rivets. Can't wait to see if it helps with that pesky hot-spot on the right side of the lowest 2...- fricard
