Questions about Dyna-Glo DGX376BCS-D Compact Charcoal Bullet Smoker - High Gloss Black

I have read the reviews, has anything been done about the paint?

Answer: Don't think so. A roaring start will still catch the barrel afire. I just burn the charcoal down past flaming before putting the barrel on. This is the only unit that uses the very old "Cajun Cooker" fluted charcoal pan, and the old Brinkman parts. I can live with flammable paint, as long as I can get the old base and pan. I started using these nearly 40 years ago. Best yet for venison & feral hog hams

Answer: I bought mine several years ago and the paint was an issue. It also doesn't hold heat. It was a real pain to use. Better to buy an electric smoker.

Answer: Paint is fine mine is uncovered no problems

What is the diameter of the cooking grate?

Answer: Hello E., the cooking grate is 14.84" in diameter. -GHP Group Customer Support

Product reviews of Dyna-Glo DGX376BCS-D Compact Charcoal Bullet Smoker - High Gloss Black

Boone : careful what you put it on as there's no stand

unfortunately i didn't know that if the bottom gets too hot it burns holes in wood
im glad it wasn't on my actual deck but a wood table.
it caught fire at the bottom and i was putting out a fire for nearly a half hour.

R. Thatcher : Good smoker for the money.

Good smoker for the money.

Amazon Customer : Great entry level

After a little bit of a learning curve, it worked great! Smoked a 10 lb brisket for 7 hours and it had great flavor!!

Richard Villa : having fun smoking different meats with excellent results

I have had this smoker for 15 months , used it about 8 or 9 times and now the outside paint is falling off in large sheets. about 90% of the paint has flaked off. Still works but looks AWFUL!

Tmike : Great water smoker.

This is just what I was looking for. It's a great water smoker. There is some assembly required, but it is not difficult.

Trevor S. : Great smoker

Love this smoker. Easy to use. Heats evenly and smokes beautifully.

Amazon Customer : Paint catches fire and melts off. Not suitable for cooking food in any way

First time using this smoker and it caught fire.... the paint began heating and melting off. Eventually the paint dripped down onto the charcoal and caught fire eventually causing the entire assembly to catch fire. This 'smoker' is a piece of crap and an absolute waste of money. Its functionality is non existant.

Thomas : Very low quality, unsafe.

Paint melted during the heat cleaning process suggested by the manual. Used less than the suggested amount of charcoal as well. I wouldn't consider this to be safe for cooking food. Was excited about this but it looks like it's going to the dump.

Amazon Customer : Works Great!!!!

Smoked some Backribs using charcoal briquets and Applewood chips. Great results in 4 hours. Easy to manage with the handles and access door to add coals during the smoking process. Temperature was easy to maintain also.

Evan Jacobs : Careful of the elements

This smoker is compact and works pretty well. It doesn't seem to be holding up well to the elements so I'd encourage you to keep it indoors when not in use. It's pretty simple and does the job. As much as I like the flavor of charcoal, I prefer my electric smoker because it's so much more convenient.

laura sewrey : Astoundingly cheap - but we'll see

Ok - cheap is fine, and it's a lousy carpenter that blames their tools - but wow - just assembled the unit, and have never seen anything so cheap in my life. I was laughing out loud while putting it together. The access door handle is held on with two stamped metal "wings" that you have to bend down to secure -- and it just flaps around. Nothing will hold this door closed other than gravity.
However - people make brilliant BBQ old oil drums, so we'll see what we can do. A little worried about all of the reports of melting paint, so I'll be careful not to let the heat get too high. Will return for post-use review later.
Pray for me, folks.

Kim : Easy to use

Cheap

Amazon Customer : Paint catches fire and melts off. Not suitable for cooking food in any way

Julie FD : Five Stars

good quality. Food taste good!

jessie benoit : dont mistake the box buy the size when it comes in lol

great size for starter smokers easy to bring with you anywhere and next to try the cook this weekend but on feedbacks of friebds should work great

klmacd123 : I realized this when I lit it for the first time and paint began to heat and drip down into the charcoal pan rendering the smoker useless for cooking food

Bolts with wingnuts are utilized for the entire assembly. I had to replace the majority of the nuts and bolts with my own hardware due to the wingnuts provided stripping out while tightening by hand. The inside of the smoker is painted. I realized this when I lit it for the first time and paint began to heat and drip down into the charcoal pan rendering the smoker useless for cooking food. The high gloss paint on the outside began to bubble before the thermometer temp reached 300F.

reg : Compact

The smoker is compact but heavy. There is 376 square inches of cooking space. There is a side access door., Chrome-player grates, a porcelain enameled water bowl, galvanized steel charcoal chamber, and adjustable dampers. It was made in China.

cegrover : Works, but flawed

I enjoyed this smoker for about a year, but the fatal flaws mentioned in reviews did catch up with it. Used for low heat, this is a great unit, but the water pan sits on the coals and this means constant filling or the risk of hard-to-clean gunk. Putting foil in the pan works, but it seems I found the limit to this method today, too. I did what turned out to be a great brisket and accidentally left the lid a bit off after removing the meat. Heat went up and I'm not sure what caught first, but the smoker went up in flames, the finish burning off and the handles melting. I had to put it out with a fire extinguisher! I like the design, but I'll spend a bit more and get a Weber next - everything I've read says they hold up much better.
