from skeptical to impressed

Background: I own a dynaglo charcoal grill and cursed the whole time I assembled it (swore I'd never buy another dynaglo product) but my smokehollow smoker finally gave out - ordered a new smokehollow and it was so badly damaged I just returned it to the store - considered a landmann but they don't offer a dual door configuration - found the dynaglo online for $236 and I liked the fact it had door seals so reluctantly I placed my order - it shipped fast, was very well packaged, not a bit of damage - so here's what I like most - keep in mind all these "cheap smokers" are made of thin steel, but this dyna felt thicker than my smokehollow and the door has beveled edges that give it a very solid feel, the door has a seal (others don't) the door "latches" shut (some use magnets - yuck) it has an adjustable smoke stack (many don't) the wood pan is large enough for chunks (not just chips) this will allow smoking large meats without constant tending - I personally wouldn't own a smoker without duel doors (allows you to add wood and water without losing precious heat and smoke) the picture looks like the controls mount to the legs, but they don't the controls are surrounded by it's own rectangular housing that attaches to the base of the cabinet (I like this - means I can use it without the legs) I would expect this unit to hold up well based on my smokehollow experience - but I intend to do some mods (and this smoker is built in a way that will allow me to do that fairly easily) example these 'cheap' smokers are assembled with some small screws which are usually impossible to get unassembled in the event a part needs to be replaced - I plan on drilling out the holes and using larger bolts and nuts which should insure this smoker will last a long time (I usually don't write long reviews and I could go into more detail, but I'll end with compared to other smokers I'm very impressed)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this smoker in Dec. 2016. I used it about 15 times so far. It is so easy to cook with this smoker. I've cooked deer meat, sausage, whole chickens, whole turkey, all kinds of beef meat cuts, various types of fish, veggies, etc., etc. I've even used my cast iron skilllet with grillin beans and deer ground meat. Smoked Turkey bacon marinated with my special sauces and spices is one of my favorites! The mouth-watering flavor in the food is just outstanding. My favorite wood to use is pecan chunks. I've blessed about 8 - 10 different families so far with the extra food I cook. I've received only positive feedback. Some have even offered to buy the meat so I can cook it for them!
Lastly, I store it in my garage when not in use. My kids think I'm weird because several times a week I go in the garage and just sniff the smoke stack a couple of times before I go back in the house. Love that smell! Makes me want to fire it up again. Can't wait for my next smoke!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Seasoned and have smoked 3x so far over past 2 weeks since I got it. Everything has turned out perfect. Got a packer brisket ready to go next.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased the Dyna-Glo 36 and can't believe how I was able to hold temp at 230. Meat was delicious with deep smoke ring. This is the fourth smoker that I've owned over the past 20 years and by far it has exceeded my expectations. Excellent product.

Well built

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had this smoker about 1 year. Performs well in the 225-275° range. Lower temps as for sausages a little difficult to regulate. Would suggest you put one smaller burner in one side to achieve the lower heats. Using a digital thermometer I cannot get lower than 180° with one burner turned low. Otherwise, highly recomend.

Love it!

Had my wide body gas smoker for almost a year and could not be more pleased. Easy to assemble and works great! Considered charcoal first but went with gas because I figured heat was heat. Pork butt, ribs , turkeys and salmon, all delicious. Just did a batch of everybody’s favorite beef jerky and finally felt motivated to write this review. 5 stars!
