Update, I’ve been smoking away the last 4 months on the Dynaglow that I insulated (see prior post). I’ve likely done 30 smokes. Everything is holding up great.
I did also add a cast iron pan for the smoke wood container (it came with a light sheet metal tray). The handles were the perfect...
“Why are the vents always on top on propane smoker”
I was wondering the same when I bought my DynaGlo vertical propane smoker. Post #16 here- https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/threads/insulating-the-landman-38-wide.151626/
Propane is denser than air, so it doesn’t seem like it’s needed to...
With stick burners, that makes sense as you can't turn a knob to dial the flame down. I just installed a needle valve, so can hopefully fine tune temps with that (the burner knob doesn't fine tune well). I also have a cast iron skillet I leave on the top rack as a heat sink (and to put the...
Dampers- I’ve done a few smokes, and going well. Beats any of the BBQ (sic) available locally here.
But, one thing I’m not very clear on are the Lower dampers. I’ve been leaving the top smokestack wide open for airflow (it’s not that large anyway). I understand the function of lower dampers for...
Needle valve- OK, I just bought the Bayou Classics Needle Valve (valve only). It has M&F NPT connections.
But, I see that my gas hose is Crimped at both the regulator and burner end. It appears to be one integrated unit from burner to propane tank attachment.
How have others with a crimped...
"I just curious of you using a galvanized sheet on the interior of the wall? Won't the galvanizing give off a bad gas?"
That's a great point and why I didn't do the lower door (by the burner and wood box).
The Continuous rating seems well above my max temps. I'm looking for an ungalvanized...
I insulted my DynaGlo smoker, thanks to Lamar’s tip.
- 1” foil faced mineral wool insulation board for sides and backs. I taped the backside to protect it better from errant smoke, etc.
- Doors insulated with the same (no taping of back here) but with a galvanized sheet making a double wall. I...
Very helpful and thanks for posting.
I have a small DynaGlo propane double door and will do the same.
I found this below at Zoro.com cheap and rated to 1,200F:
1" x 48" x 24" Mineral Wool/Foil Backing High Temperature Insulation
I’ll likely insulate the doors also. Thin the insulation board...
