new braunfels

Hello! First post here. I've been restoring a New Braunfels Bandera smoker and finally finished! I give you the Frankensmoker! https://1drv.ms/u/s!AmdnVQNGniCqgW6-pWKXGpJ9Xhkp https://1drv.ms/u/s!AmdnVQNGniCqgXL8lErHg8XpeB-E I picked this thing up for $100 and it needed a lot of work. There...

I found a used New Braunfels Smoker (I believe it's the Longhorn Deluxe series 20"x40") for $450 (asking.) Owner indicated that it was about 10 years old. Does that seem reasonable? I have an Oklahoma Joes 16" D x 30" offset at the moment, I'm fairly confident that it was a pre-charbroil...

So, I am a new guy on this forum and a new guy to smoking meat....but my neighbor here in Houston put his New Braunfels offset smoker on the street for heavy junk day. So I got it for free. Questions: What model is this? Was this a good meat smoker and should I restore it? (FYI there's no...

I'm almost done refinishing a NB BD I picked up on craigslist, and I'm at the part where I am researching Thermometers. Based on the posts in this forum, I'm looking at Tel-Tru and Ashcroft ( so far I like the customization options offered by Ashcroft) I haven't been able to find any sources...

I found a New Braunfels on CL for $40! From what I've seen that is a sweet deal, but it does have some rust. It's either a Silver for Black Diamond, I don't know how to tell the difference but it has the pot warmer on top of the firebox. I've got it in pieces now to sand down the rust and...

Guys – my wife & daughter & I have some family business in New Braunfels & Seguin (just east of San Antonio) next week. Not much time for sightseeing, but it'd be nice to taste some of the local "comfort food." There's a small chance we'll make it thru Austin before our return, time depending...
