Well, I bought my Bandera in early January at Home Depot and have been spending my winter getting things lined up to use it hard in the Spring. Have completed most of the mods and have purchased a remote temperature setup from Dave at Nu-Temp.
Have the Baffle Mod done, have firebrick lining the floor of both the firebox and the smoke chamber, have the aluminum channel/gasket mod done . . . am waiting for a friend to finish up the firegrate for me. Am planning to run with these mods first and see how things turn out. Might consider other mods later on.
Have an electric Smokin' Tex that I don't really use anymore . . . not real happy with the results. Am hoping for a much better finished product with my new setup. Am looking for a reasonable source for wood nearby and haven't been successful yet.
Want to try a brisket first. Haven't made a decent one yet. Lookin' forward to trying what you all have been talking about here and finally hittin' one out of the park! Thanks to Bill for sending me some of the So Flav to try.
It's snowing here now . . .we're supposed to get between 10" to 14" by Sunday (we need it, been dry). Hopefully we'll get some Spring in March and maybe I can fire this thing up.
