Welp, ............... After many atemps at many locations trying to nail me down a Bandera, I finally have one coming direct from Braunfels (or CharBroil?). I checked out other makes including the ¼" thick steel jobbers for $1,000 - $2,000, but could`nt really afford something like that right now. Especially since I`m an apprentice Q`er. I could`nt believe some of the deals on eBay for some heavy duty smokers. One was a full size on a trailer. Even had mag wheels, brand new that went for just over $1,000.
Only thing about the Bandera I bought though is the price. I had to pay bust out retail. I HATE when that happens. Especially when I see some of the members grabbing one for $125 - $200.
At this time just one question. Is the factory 'Bandera Cover' worth anything? I sure hope so. I had to pay an additional $40 for it, but I figured I better protect my investment. I hope it`s not one of those cheezy thin covers that crap out after a few months?
I guess I have a lot of reading up on the mods and break-in proceedures.
Thanks to everyone that put this gathering together. I`m sure I`ll be asking a few questions from time to time.
Peace, ................. Greedyweed
