Overview
The Dyna-Glo DGY784BDP is a 36 inch vertical propane smoker with 784 square inches of cooking space spread across four adjustable steel wire racks, built for slow smoking ribs, pork butts and whole chickens over indirect heat rather than direct grilling.
A 15,000 BTU cast iron burner with push button electronic ignition means no matches or lighter fluid at start up, and a large control dial handles the flame. The cabinet uses a double door layout, an upper door for the food chamber and a lower one for the wood chip box and water bowl, so you can refill either without opening the whole smoker and dumping heat. Sliding dampers on the top and sides give rough control over how much smoke builds up inside.
- 784 square inches of cooking space on 4 racks
- 15,000 BTU cast iron burner with electronic ignition
- Porcelain enameled wood chip box and water bowl
- CSA certified with 1 year limited warranty
Who it's for
Fits someone smoking for a family cookout or small gathering who wants propane convenience instead of tending charcoal or a stick burner. Anyone planning to smoke a full-width brisket should look elsewhere, since more than one owner found the usable interior narrower than the quoted 27 inch measurement.
Pros and cons
- Holds steady smoking temperature in cold or windy weather
- Push button ignition lights without matches or lighter fluid
- Four adjustable racks handle multiple cuts at once
- Double door layout limits heat loss when refilling wood or water
- Water pan is shallow and needs frequent refilling
- Wood chips burn up fast; chunks work better
- Interior runs narrower than the quoted 27 inch width
- Door seals are inconsistent and can leak smoke

Frequently asked questions
How much room does the Dyna-Glo DGY784BDP actually have inside?
It offers 784 square inches across four racks, but one owner measured the usable interior at closer to 20 inches wide despite the 27 inch outer dimension, so a full-width brisket is a tight fit.
Does this smoker need a match to light?
No, it uses a push button electronic ignition on the 15,000 BTU cast iron burner, so the control dial lights it directly.
Is there a matching cover for this smoker?
Yes, Dyna-Glo sells a custom-fit cover, model DG784GSC, sold separately.
