Great smoker. With a few minor up grades would be 5stars. Add liner seal around door and stop for door handle nut so it would not backoff and install opening for temp probs. These are minor things owner can do. Thanks for a great smoker.

I bought this a year ago second hand for a great price, but the guy never even fired it up. I did the first burn! What an awesome smoker. Tons if room. I smoked 50lbs of pork belly for bacon with apple wood and it was the best bacon I ever had. Since then I've smoked ribs, chicken, beef roasts and smoked some Buckboard Bacon from Pork Butt! I love this thing! Well built and it will last years and years since I keep it in the garage.

I have had this smoker since the beginning of summer. It struggles to get up to temperature, and air flow struggles to the point that I get as much smoke coming out the fire box! Almost all the paint burned off the firebox the first two times it was used.

My wife gave me this smoker for my birthday. I used it for the first time last weekend. The paint on the smoke box blistered and flaked off! I now have to paint it with engine enamel paint to cover the exposed metal areas left naked by the blistering! The construction is sound, but the paint is sub-par! I would recommend the barrel smoker.

I've had mine for 2 years now and I'm still loving it! It can accommodate so much food! I sometimes use the offset smoker as a grill itself. The vertical grill makes everything so much easier to cook. I love all the racks and the ribs rack! I also applied the gasket all over when I first purchased it. I'm sure to have this grill for the next 5 years. It's the best investment for healthier cooked meals.

I have smoked Prime Rib roasts, Spare Ribs, Short Ribs, Ducks, Rabbits, Country Ribs, Lamb, and I've used Oak, Pecan, and Mesquite wood. It has produced some amazing smoked meats, I seldom eat out, because I can cook better at home! FYI, I have owned and used this smoker since 1998! And I'm fixing to get me a new one! They have actually Improved it! Can't wait to get It!

I bought this as I was influenced by a friends purchase and he loves it. I haven't had mine more that 3 months and the firebox is already rusted and discolored even though we have been covering it after cool down and before the rains. on the last use a week ago, the handle on the firebox lid fell off. I emailed support a while ago, but no response. I now have been on hold for them over 40 minutes. we will see how it goes

I will start by saying I do like the smoker so far, size is adequate, and steel looks good. But I literally followed the directions to a tee. First burn in went well. Then all the paint has peeled off the firebox during the seasoning on Sunday. This was together for 2 days and the highest temp it say during seasoning was 360. Also not sure why they do not have a charcoal box for inside.

I am so beyond impressed on the quality & performance of the Bandera! Once you get the hang of it, you can ride it low and slow for as long as you need, or if you're not in for the long smoke, the offset fire box is great if ya just wanna quickly grill up a steak or sump'm... I don't think there's a better smoker on the market!

When will my item arrive?
Once shipped, items usually arrive within 3-5 business days. While UPS and FedEx are our carriers for smaller items, be aware that larger items and orders are shipped via freight. The freight process is a bit more complicated than what we've all come to expect for small parcels, so it's important that you're prepared and understand what's required of you well before delivery day.
- Most freight products ship on a pallet
- Some carriers will call to schedule a delivery window, while others will deliver the shipment to a reasonably accessible location closest to your residence (their goal is to deliver as near a garage door as they can).
- We'll specify which process you can expect in your shipping confirmation email.
For carriers that schedule delivery appointments:
Carriers that schedule delivery appointments require you to be home for delivery and provide your signature. The delivery is made with a semi-truck with lift gate services, and the shipment is dropped off at the curb. If you authorize the shipping company to leave the delivery without a signature, BBQGuys can't be held responsible for damages that occur during delivery. As complicated as this process may seem, we've only scratched the surface here — please review our detailed guide to freight delivery so there are no surprises when a freight shipment heads your way.
For carriers that deliver without an appointment:
Carriers that deliver without an appointment don't require you to be home or set up a delivery window, and you aren't required to sign for the pallet(s). Instead of scheduling an appointment, arranging your schedule to be home for the delivery, and signing to confirm receipt, you can sit back and let your items come to you. If you're home at the time of the drop-off, you can request the driver place your delivery in the garage; if you're out of the house, the driver will leave it near the garage or doorstep.
