"We can Rebuild it."
i adopted Rbsnwngs Bandera last week to leave at the place for our Boy Scout me Meetings. Once or twice a month, I'll be cooking for the troop at the regular troop meetings and at all special event meetings, so it shoul dbe at least biweekly. Anyway, The poor Bandera has been left alone for a year or so and needs some TLC..
Lid is warped so it dont close well, and it is modless, needed a baffle and firegrate.
Its at my cousins, who is an ironworker.. i went yesterday(he had it one day), and he allready made a new top for it. I called smoker and got dimensions of our baffle and mikes welding one on that will wrap a litlle bit around the waterpan. Also adding a few more shelves.
all seams are being recinforced and heavy plate is being welded inside the fire and smokeboxes.
Then, the frame is being modded/reinforced and hes welding a reciever on it that will go directly into a trailer hitch. That way, The Boy Scout Bandera can be lifted directly onto the back of one of the trucks when we go camping.
more to come!!
These are the first set of photos, I'll post more as it progresses.
Check out the new lid made of 3/8 inch plate.
