smoker temps too high
-
thought i would throw this out there. one of my smokers is a dyna glow 43 wide body.it’s typical of most non insulated gas fired smokers. great for higher temps. its big so great for hanging sausage etc. low temps way to high. i bought a small 1650 watt elec. element at amazon. (unifit 120v 15a with controller) controller plugs in like a frying pan etc. it lays on the smoker floor. i have had a few ranco 111000-000 cold/heat controllers in my home brewry for years. i wrap the elemnent controller with thick foil and run the cord out the bottom vent. plug it into the ranco and use the heat side. now i can run a really good heat cycle for sausage. it aint perfect but does the job well. amazon also has the ranco contoller. just need to make sure its the heat/cool model. maybe this will help someone it helped me

opah73 I’ve not used a Dyna Glow but it looks similar to the Weston 36" vertical we used to have and I had a similar struggle with that. Temps were hard to reach under 170° on a hot day. Thank you for sharing, I am sure this will help a few people out there. If I remember correctly I think somebody in the Masterbuilt group were having similar issues. If you can post a pic or two, whenever you have the chance we would love to see it!

I had similar issues on a small smoker I use to have. I ended up putting a gas stove valve/thermstate in line with the factory regulator. It worked pretty well as long as you didn’t overshoot, but I wasn’t trying to run under 225. I’m sure the pilot could have kept it above 170.
