    Airflow issues with maze bars

    So the air comes from the right side through to the main area and then up. I am thinking that the maze is stoping airflow as they are two high to allow not just oxygen transfer but also heat. I was thinking the holes would help in that department. The big issue is getting it up in temperature...

    Airflow issues with maze bars

    Hello all, So I have these decent sized maze bars that I cannot get to keep a decent temperature in the smoker, my thought is that it is restricting airflow because of their height. Do you think if I drilled decent sized holes in them, would it help the airflow in any significant way? There is...

    New Dyna-Glo vertical offset smoker

    Thank you for explaining it. I was wondering, as I have seen some people say they are getting 4+ hours out of their charcoal at low temps and I am just not able to get that long of time. Cannot figure out why I cannot get more than 2 hours with a lower amount of charcoal, keeping the temp in...

    So the exhaust hole controls the burn rate as well? I typically run very small amounts of coal and wood in there then keep the vents open minimally to keep the temp down and hope it is making the coals last longer, am I doing this incorrectly?

    So, i have fully insulated my dyna-glow and have noticed that if I put more than half a basket full of charcoal it will skyrocket in temp. If I put that much I only get 2ish hours out of it. Am I doing something wrong?

    Cheddar & Gouda

    Ah ok. I was thinking my dyna-glow wide body on the top shelf would be perfect for cold smoking here in VA. I am guessing about 5 lit charcoals and some mesquite wood should keep it under 100 degrees. Your thoughts?

    Cheddar & Gouda

    Wow... I have yet to do cheese in the smoker and have really thought about doing it, this just put me over the edge, time for some cheddar and mozzarella! What type of wood are you using? temps?

    Smoke time on beef baby back ribs

    I was lucky to find them for 3.99 around here and I still felt cheated with how little cams out at the end!

    Help! Over insulated my smoker

    So is closing it what is causing a lot of the extra heat? I am having a hard time following the full concept you are explaining. I thought by closing both it was restricting airflow therefore reducing the heat. What is a good way to reduce heat through the use of dampers and exhausts? Again...

    Help! Over insulated my smoker

    Ok I can definitely try less charcoal, just found it odd that with only 20 lit coals it was so high. My smoker only has the lower damper on the firebox and I typically keep it 3/4 to 8/10 closed as it is running so hot, and keep the damper on the smoke box 3/4 closed. I got this pic that...

    Smoke time on beef baby back ribs

    Well that was an experience to say the least. With the new insulation on the smoker I spent the better part of a day just trying to keep my ribs from over cooking. However they came out great for only having around 6-7 hour cook time. The temp hovered around 275-290 most of the time and I...

    Help! Over insulated my smoker

    fellow smokers, Recently I fully insulated my dyno-glow wide body in efforts to create more efficiently and maintain better heat. However now, even without about only 20 lit coals in it my temps are never below 275 it seems unless I am opening the fire box door. Obviously the answer is take...
