Mornin', Y'all.
Name here is Ron, and I live just outside a small town in South Mississippi.
(I arrived here thru the Grace of the Almighty!)
I have been a casual griller for many years, but only now an I taking the smoker plunge.
I had been considering an Oklahoma Joe's Longhorn combo, but, as I have a grill I have loved for many years (Charbroil Masterflame 8000 w/grillmate infrared-like heat plate) I am now thinking that the Bandera is the way to go.
I feared that the Combo was a compromise smoker, and the Bandera has much more area and a larger firebox.
So, I came here in order to read the "Bandera 101" document for instructions as to how to turn the Bandera into a first-rate smokin' machine.
I look forward to tips and suggestions on improving the equipment as well as recipes and smoking "How To" comments.


Thanks for having me on board!
 
Welcome neighbor! You may want to pose you question in the Q-Talk thread. Should get many responses there.
 
Welcome to the forum from Victoria, Aust.
Nice friendly bunch here that are very sharing with information.
Enjoy your time here, I sure have
 
Welocme to the asylum!

Take a look around and if you have questions please feel free to contact the moderator team or our senior members. Their names are color coded so you can recognized them.

Also, each section of the forum has a description that you can use to figure out where to post.

Finally, please review our rules! They are pretty straight forward, but looking at them up front may help to eliminate problems later :-D

Oh! Don't forget to add your name to the Brethren Map, located at the top of this Cattle Call forum.

Most important, have fun and join in our conversations and share and learn!
 
Welcome Ron, from another southerner, and Ron. You will definitely find a ton of info and opinions here, and the best thing to do is determine which will work for you and fill your needs. Hope to see some cook posts from you soon.
 
Welcome to the forum from sunny SE Arizona.
 
Welcome! As I understand it, the Bandera can be good if you put in the work. Also, some places will have it on sale for Black Friday.
 
Welcome from SC, Ron. Its good to have you on this great site. There are a lot of fine folks here who are always eager to share their recipes, ideas and tips. All you need to do is ask away and keep reading.

Good luck and good smoking, Joe.

Yup to both points.
Academy will have it for $199 on Friday only.
As for the work, I have read the Bandera 101 post.
Good stuff, but it references a picture section for
info on the smoke box baffle.
I have not seen that section yet.....
 
Welcome, come on in, take your shoes off and sit a spell.
 
Welcome aboard Ron, glad to have you as a fellow Brethren here.

I hope to see you in the Q-Talk forum soon. You'll find help on almost every topic from cooking your first Pork Butt to curing and smoking your own ham and bacon.

If you can't find the topic you need help with, or have questions about, just start a new thread in "Q-Talk". There are many people with years of experience that are willing to answer your questions and guide you in the right direction.
