A Nebraskan welcomes you. I'm looking forward to your reports on the Dyna Glo offset.
I've not examined a Dyna Glo offset very thoroughly but "offset" makes me think it's a low and slow smoker. Your statement that you've ordered GrillGrates makes me think it has some grilling capability. Do you plan to grill in the firebox?
Local chain grocery stores tell me that they aren't able to sell tri tip. They end up grinding it into burger. They say they'll sell me a case that I can split up with others who are interested. Not gonna' happen.
I can sometimes find them at Costco
Haha, wish we were closer cause I would split one with you. If I can't find any and the only option is a case...well, I have a deep freeze not in use! And a vacuum sealer.
In regard to the grill grates, I ordered that for my gas grill, but saw them advertised in your site. The Dyna Glo is a charcoal smoker, very similar to most offset smokers. I already have gasket sealer and all of that because I have read that is one of the flaws. I also have been looking into building a charcoal basket. Thanks for the many welcomes, this seems like the place I need to be. Good people, an abundance of knowledge, and good food. Thanks again guys, once I get things up and going on my smoker I will make sure to take some pics and keep you all informed on my mission to replicate that smoked steak!
