    The ultimate Dyna-Glow wide body modification

    Another update. The burner is a bit overkill for smoking below 250 and the wind can blow the flame out. After noticing the temperature dropping I would light the burner again and has lost my leg hair a few times. So a thermocouple was installed for safety. Then added more firebrick to the...

    The ultimate Dyna-Glow wide body modification

    I did some more mods today. I mounted my firebrick how I wanted and opened up the hole for the stack. This thing works great but keeping the pellet trys smoking is a work in progress. I'm thinking the stack is still too small. The pellets smoke like crazy when the burner is off but die out soon...

    The ultimate Dyna-Glow wide body modification

    I could still use charcoal but not with the ash pan. My plan is to run propane most of the time. I'll use an electric hot plate in the main chamber for fish or sausage. To hit 120

    DIY Hydro Sausage Stuffer

    I saw the Dakota stuffer and like many others said to myself " I could make that myself " So I did! Even with the clear pvc at $25 a foot It was still cheaper than one you could buy. We have been using our kitchen Aid stand mixer to do all the grinding and stuffing but It takes forever to stuff...
