Found some matches.
I picked up a Bandera on Craigslist a couple days ago and am planning on running some of the mods listed here to help with bringing it up to heat and maintaining temps (fire bricks, high temp tape for the door, raised firegrate, charcoal basket).
I wanted to ask what your strategy for fuel is. What type of wood is your go to? Wood chunks or logs and how much? Charcoal briquettes or lump, how much, how often? I ran mine yesterday for a 8.5 lb pork butt and ended up using a full 18.6lb bag of Kingsford briquettes, plus a little bit of another bag and a sizeable amount of wood chunks. I had it going for 12 hours and can’t wait to keep playing with it for the next smoke. Thanks in advance!
