Customer Reviews for Dyna-Glo Vertical Charcoal Smoker

Great for some outdoor tender meat dinners !!!

Wasn’t too bad ! But worked really good

Easy to assemble. Smoked a 16lb turkey with plenty of room. Would be better if the doors were sealed with a gasket. I had to modify mine with a gasket I had from an older smoker. Seems to be well built. Would give it 5 stars if the doors were sealed.

Great smoker! Easy to use, Easy to clean, does a great job.

It’s great, except it’s really hard to add more wood chips once you get started. The basket it’s too hard to get out and place back on the rods. Other than that it’s wonderful!!

I wanted the larger version, but it was not in stock. Not enough spacing for chickens, you must remove racks. Which of course means less surface area. Dries jerky well,,,,,

Was ok to put togeather, not much trouble.

No it wasn’t I thought it would be already assembled

Good design. Poor quality, doors are not aligned with smokers body. Leaks, impossible to control temperature do to the leaks.

I was looking for a smoker that produced enough smoke and could put in a confined area. This for what I was looking for and got great results.

Good price !

haven't had my dynaglo charcoal smoker long, but it heats up quickly, and is easy to clean up. food stays at proper temp and cooks completely. I really like that this smoker has 2 doors, and the insulated exterior latches for keeping the doors closed are a plus.

Not as Advertise this smoker will not hold a 100 lbs. of meat. False advertising would not advise you to buy this smoker

I love this product!! It was easy to put together and use. My in-store delivery was shipped in a timely fashion.

Love this smoker! Our first attempt was smoking ribs and brisket and they came out exceptional! I think it's safe to say we won't be ordering BBQ in town anymore because ours were way better! Easy to use and husband had it put together in no time. Very pleased!!

Home Depot is very easy to shop on line and pickup. No Problems! Thanks!

WE HAVE ONLY USED THE SMOKER A COUPLE OF TIMES, BUT SO FAR, IT IS EVERYTHING WE WANTED. IF I COULD CHANGE ONE THING, I WOULD ADD A WATER PAN. THANKS!

Pretty easy to assemble and set-up. The only thing I see that I don't like is the temp gauge is not very accurate. And also it would be a nice feature to add a probe thermometer.

Heat control is nonexistent. Flues are not tight enough and coals burn full blast at all times. In addition heat distribution is not good. Much hotter at lower bottom part of unit than at top. Thermometer is way off (between 50 and 75 degrees). Would never buy it again.

I bought this for my boyfriend, he absolutely loves it! He’s been smoking meat everyday since he put it together!

This smoker works beautifully and cooks just like it was advertised. You can make your fire and leave it alone and the flavor is great.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a good smoker for the $$, but the only issue with this model is the exhaust vent, before you assemble it to the smoker just take a look at it when the vent is closed all the way. The gaps in the exhaust vent are a issue, all the way closed is like 1/4 to 1/3 open. Also there is no water pan, only a wood chip smoker box that rests above the fire.

We just used the smoker for the first time this past weekend and we were very pleased. Some of the reviews made us worried but we had no issues. We made 3 whole chickens in it at the same time. We used hickory wood chips. Great purchase.

Purchased for a Christmas present! It is still wrapped!

The smoker works wonders. Easy to assemble and control. Thanks for having such a great product.

Purchased this for Thanksgiving 2018. Let's start with size and weight; this thing is a beast. With the legs and chimney attached, this smoker is about 4 feet tall. It has plenty of space within the main smoking chamber and could definitely smoke 2, full-sized 30lb turkeys. With this much space, it also means this smoker is quite heavy: about 70lbs of master charcoal meat smoking. My biggest complaint about this cooker is in its ability to collect grease. To put it simply, it cannot. Yes, there's a hole on the bottom with a metal tray you insert to collect grease, but upon my first cooking experience with this I found it completely useless and ineffective. There's truly no real thought that was put into the design of this contraption for grease and moisture. For charcoal and meat placement, however, this thing is excellent. I wish that the engineer that designed this would have thought about adding a place for a water bowl and a grease collection plate above that. I can definitely do that on my own, I'm just disappointed that this smoker feels incomplete and not thought out in that regard. Filling up the charcoal box once produced perfect smoking temperature for 4.5 hours. That alone is truly an impressive engineering feat having said everything critical that I have. Otherwise, would recommend to anyone that is a meat smoking hobbyist. Great for family get togethers!
