I've had this smoker for 3 years. Been wanting to make it into a real offset. Great video

just got mine today. well it came damaged. looks like it got dropped on something softball size dent on top back right near seam. now that wouldnt bother me but now i have big gap at seam where it started to seperate. i sent email to dyna glo waiting to hear back. if they dont replace it then i will just get that high temp caulk i guess and just fill in that big gap. lol

I've had one for a few years and love it. I also use heat bricks for temperature regulation along with deflecting the heat coming from the fire box. I also use a water pan. Once in awhile will put the fire in the cooking chamber and cook direct high off the coals so the fat from the meat drips into the fire. Chicken and Tri-tip come out great using the dyna-glow this way

Those are all great ideas for me to look into, thanks :)

Great smoker for its price. It’s never let me down. You just need this smoker and a Weber kettle grill and you are set 😁🐷🐖

I agree, it can do a lot for the investment!

What a great tutorial! I love how you added the sealer. I've been reading a lot of people are having issues controlling temps because of the leaks. What kind of sucks is paying the money for something and then having to add to it in order to make it more functional. Even if it's some easy steps to do so.

Thanks very much! I'm getting some rust spots on it now so planning a "fixer upper" video soon :)

Making the Dyna Wide Body a true stick burner, I like it! May finally put mine together now ha ha. Very interested in trying this out (using wood as primary fuel). Curious as to how often you add a piece of wood once you have it up to operating temp. Mainly referring to most standard offsets generally requiring a new split every 20-30min so wondering where adding new wood on the Dyna lands time-wise in your experience (both time in between adding more wood and how much wood you add). Thanks in advance for your reply, keep on smokin'!

Hi Mark. Great question. Ive been thinking about tracking that very same thing. Generally speaking the Dyna requires about the same thing, not a whole split but a 1/2 split about every 30 minutes depending on the weather conditions, etc. I recently did two full briskets and did track my wood count, so hopefully I can get that video out soon. If you liked and subscribed, thanks!

I've always been dumbfounded by the fat that they use the same fire box with the wide body as with the regular Dyna. Your tips on fire management and using all wood are exactly what I've been looking for.

Fire box on the wide body is too small, I built a bigger one,20"×20"×14" out of 2 sheets of 1/4" steel (1/2" thick total)and covered the smoke chamber with 2 sheets of 1/8" steel and installed a larger taller smoke chimney, now it goes 12-14 hrs without reloading.

That was awesome! I’ve got an old Oklahoma Joe Bandera on which the firebox has finally rusted out. I got it almost 10 years ago on a Black Friday sale for about $200, and it’s been a great smoker but it’s time to retire it. Now a days you can’t touch a Bandera for less than $600, and while it’s a good smoker, I don’t think it’s worth that. I’ve been considering the Dyna-Glo, but was conserned about the size of the fire box. The fire box on the Bandera was huge and I could put whole logs in it. I guess I could adapt to the smaller box. The lack of air flow does concern me, especially since you can’t open the chimney all the way. Well, at least I know a lot better what I’m getting if I settle on the Dyna-Glo. Thanks for the great video.

Thanks! Yeah the fire box size is an issue. A lot of guys just use charcoal and chunks and you could go that route, but I didn't want to. Another issue is the thickness of the steel, its pretty thin, but fine for me in Texas. Other than that, I love it, so much room to smoke. Let me know what you decide to do :)
