Review: Fantastic Smoker Outstanding Co. Service - I don't write many of these, but thought it needs to be said that this is a great smoker!! Wish it were insulated but knew that it wasn't at the time of purchase, no surprise there. I had many questions about the unit before I jumped in and the folks at (GHP) DayGlow could not have been more helpful X10. There is a lady I think her name was Susan that helped with my 2 problems which did not stop the unit from working out of the box, this was all shipping problems. (I don't know what they are paying her but it is not enough I'm sure) She is most polite and knows her products well, very well. I had a dent in the side from shipping and they replaced the main body it's self, she could not have said "i'm sorry" more than she did. I'm just like you I hate to sit on hold forever, well I can say from experience that over 10-15 calls to them I think the longest hold time I had might have been 7 mins. a couple of times I was asked "can I call you back" and sure enough they do call back very soon after. I have waited to review this Dayglow smoker till now to see how it really worked. I have been smoking meats and even cheese for some 40 yrs. In this Dayglow Smoker unit we have made some of the best BBQ. We have done Brisket, Chickens, Turkey, Pork Ribs, Loins, Butts, Bacon, and Sausage. All has come out perfect! temp is easy to control as is the amount of smoke, that being said I should tell you the gaskets on the doors work as intended, they seal the unit very tight. The only smoke you see is from the vents (4) and the chimney(1) I get a perfect smoke ring every time as well as the food being very moist, that is due to the water pan that sits above the smoke box. (BTW) Both the water pan and chip box are big enough to smoke anything you can put in this monster size unit.!!! Notice I said chips Not CHUNKS, NOT LOGS, Chips!!! This is very important that you use what some might call large chain saw chips. Some say they burn up to fast, that is true if you get to hot and don't wet them. But that i mean put a small amount of water, beer, or wine to the chips. This will slow down the burn and the smoke will become a perfect clear smoke. (not white or back/blue) that smoke will make your food bitter and dry as well. Even commercial outfits use sawdust, been there and seen it in use. That's what changed my way of smoking. The way I see it if I wanted to, I could put 20 racks of whole spare ribs, just buying more rib racks. You should know that all shelve brackets are adjustable by maybe 3 inches per move. I can say safely I have not found a smoker with the flexible options this unit has. You Get 6 shelves 1 rib rack for 5/6 slabs and 8 hooks at the top for sausage or like me I've done bacon as well, now understand the the bacon hooks themselves I bought separate, but you do get 8 hooks to hang them on. In total I am very happy with this unit, I know I can light my cast iron burners put a big pile if chips in and cook some of the best BBQ my wife and I have ever made. Now when your wife who BTW is an Executive Chef says that's some of the best Q. She has had to date. You can get a big head for a job well done, believe me. Hell she even does the dish's after I worked so hard to make perfect BBQ (LOL) For those who are reading this I need tell you I have not been asked to write this by (GHP)/ DayGlow) or anyone. This is my smoker and my experience with it. It works the cost was fair and the company service was way better that most these days. Also I DO NOT WORK for or Have ANY Interest in this Company! I'm just giving them their due for a good product & great service! The only thing I can say if they ever build an insulated model I will be 1st in line. Here in Mi. it gets cold in the winters and we cook on our grill and smoke foods all winter, for now I will build a small covering to keep some heat in during the snowy months. Hope this helps! Enjoy, Wayne.
Review: Practically perfect! - So far so good. I have a 7 yr old Grillpro that is still working but grates are rusting and I wanted a bigger unit. Also, I've ducted my old unit with 4 inch duct into the side of an old grill so I can smoke a turkey on a spit (I'm a big fan of spit cooking to keep meat moist). As I write I am smoking 4 racks of baby back ribs (mesquite). Unit came with no damage, 2 days as promised. Assembly was a snap - unlike my Grillpro, the box was already assembled so that was nice. Nice to have the nuts welded in to no messing with that. Holes for bolts lined up perfectly. This midsize unit isn't really that heavy, I had no problem lifting it. It is at least twice as large as my old unit, could do 8+ racks at a time if I wanted, so unless you are smoking for a big crowd I wouldn't go for their biggest unit (and there is the extra weight). Even this one is too big for my winter storage shed I keep on my deck so it will have to have it out in the winter (bought the Dyna-Glo cover specified for this unit). I personally don't think "seasoning" is really needed,b ut you do want to crank it up to high heat to burn off any gunk from manufacturing (about 40 min). As with all units of this type, there is a learning curve for controlling temperature. After running at full/both burners to get chips/blocks smoking - I did this with the lower door open to keep temp from spiking, running with one burner at lowest setting (70 deg outside), one lower vent full open, the other fully closed and the top vent fully open, temperature stable at 190 degrees, more or less perfect. Most of the time I suspect those will be the only two settings I use (depending on outside temp and wind). With my single burner/old unit keeping the temp low enough was tricky. A tip for newbies: I use a combination of wood chips and wood blocks. Chips are going to burn up fast and you are going to be adding more almost every 20 minutes. You will be going through them fast. I personally don't like real heavy smoke and that is what you will get if you add a lot of chips. Wood chunks will burn slower and you will only need to add more about every hour. I typically smoke for about 4 hours. My daughter lives in southern New Mexico (I'm in Minnesota) so I collect my own Mesquite when I'm down there. A few more notes: I just noticed a slight dent in one of the doors, hardly noticeable. These units do have flexible seals on outer edges of both doors, no leakage! Lastly imho, soaking wood in water first is utter rubbish.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Smoker may not be the greatest but the customer Service is.
*by S***E on December 30, 2020*

Having owned numerous smokers over the years, I know they are not built to last. This was my first time trying a propane one though. Item came when promised but pretty beat up in transit. There are dampers at the bottom to help with air flow that are not aligned and difficult to open or close, the smoker body is slightly bent in different places, and the doors do not seal very well. On assembly / discovery on how bad it was, I tool pictures and reached out to Customer Service (Dyna Glow). They were very friendly and helpful. They immediately sent me replacement smoker body. Thats great, however they sent an incorrect one. The body sent would not accommodate the chimney on this unit. I called them again and they were great once more, sending me another smoker body but sadly, again of the incorrect type. During this time I have completed a number of smokes and really sort of like the unit. At this point I reach out to Customer Service again and tell them the update, and request to send these incorrect ones back but do not request a replacement. I simply advise I am happy with the result and no longer wish a replacement body. In order to make it right, Dyna Glow did send me a complimentary smok3r body cover which does help protect the unit and looks great. As for the unit, I think it is great. It is a lot easier to heat up and maintain your desired temperature as compared to electric, I like the separate doors for the wood and liquid as well as the meat. The built-in thermometer is pretty accurate as compared to my ambient temperature sensor used on different cooks. Plenty of room on the inside. Would recommend, just wish they did a better job of packaging.
