Dyno Glo wide body propane smoker

[Sloppyjoesfordinner]

Can anyone give me some help please. I have a Dyno Glo wide body propane smoker. I am going to smoke some chicken thighs and a 9.5 Boston butt tomorrow. Do I need to start the smoker and let it warm up and for how long do I do that and what temp should I do it at? I have only used it one time and I had to keep adding wood chips to the smoker. Can anybody give me a little help new at this. Thanks for the help

I don’t have that smoker but do have a propane smoker. I preheat to my smoking temp, usually 240. What type of container does your smoker have for chips? Mine has a drawer. I use chunks instead of chips. Sometimes I have to split the chunk to get it to fit, but it lasts longer than chips. Good luck.

I have a tray that comes out with a lid

That’s what I have. I just split a chunk until the lid will close. Lasts way longer than chips.

Googled your cooker. Looks like you could use chunks with your pan. May need to trim them down a bit. Post up some pics.

Yea. Mine says chips only. Doesn’t make sense. Chips flare up and burn really hot. Chunks just smolder. I use chunks and don’t have any problems.

Awesome! Thanks for the help everyone! I'll give chunks a try.
