Side by Side Smokers
I set up the BSKD beside the Bandera and it's a mirror image.but the "dera' is better quality.The BSKD has some nice features like the slide out water pan.But the door latches suck,i'm not fooling with stronger springs going to weld washers on the inside like the "dera"Will have some pics. soon. Did the baffle and seasoned it today, it wiil do until i get my Spicewine Smoker

Whereas the original NB bandera is definatley better quality than both the SKD and the Charbroil Bandera, IMHO, the Chargrill version of the Bandera is prettty much equal to the SKD, and from what i saw the additional features of the smoke king, make up for its shortcomings comparing it to the Charbroil Bandera. Taking into consideration the nicer SKD features, like the grates, rib racks and slide out water pan, if i had them side by side on the sales floor, I'd probably roll out with the SKD...
Unless of course the Bandera had an NB emblem on it.

Have to Agree with mary on this one. What limited time I had the SKD I thought it was better off then the Charboil model. IMO Charboil is cheaply made. Think it is a oriental thing.

I had (before the DREA went on it’s world tour) bookend SKD and the old school DERA, I could not say one was better then the other. That is like asking which child you would save if you could only save one. Door handle’s on the SKD suck, DERA the wheels fall off. Both need the same as fare when it comes to the mod’s. I’ve cooked on both I like both.
