The paint came off the grill box the first time we used it. The smoker will not achieve (or maintain) a heat above 125 We sealed the smoker box hoping to get a better result, but still doesn't heat well.

It works alright, cheaply made paint on fire box lasted about 10 min. Had to seal it leaks smoke from everywhere. And don't by the cover it will last about 1 month then tear and fall apart.

I've had mine for about 20 years and this smoker produced outstanding results and a huge amount of food in a small footprint. I've examined the newer version in the stores and the gauge of steel appears to be the same and CB has incorporated a number of the mods and upgraded a number of features. Added the baffle to direct the heat below the water bowl, replaced the cheap plastic wheels with steel wheels, raised the fire grate for better airflow, replaced the water catching solid bottom shelf with expanded steel and the wood shelf with expanded steel. All are great improvements! Only one thing more is required... MORE GRATES! That smoke chamber is HUGE and the hooks and rib rack just waste a lot of space that is better utilized with grates. I have an extra set for mine and never cook with less than 6 grates, which then gives the Bandera nearly twice the capacity of the much larger Longhorn!

Just bought today June 1, 2019 and seasoned for about 2 hours before putting on my chicken wings. I had amazing results with this unit and the meat quality was delicious. I will be using tomorrow to cook a pork butt and baby backs. If you've never used this type of smoker, your missing out.

I like it, an easy to use smoker, nice materials and well built. The welds are pretty darn good too. I bought a gasket for the door of the cabinet, that sealed it up nice and tight. I also had to put a couple of washers on the door handle that opens the smoker cabinet. That completely tightened the gap, no air infiltration or smoke/heat loss now.

Experienced this smoker in Texas.Ordered one as soon as I got back to Pittsburgh. Shippers ran into hinge side of box and bent the steel smoke box. Had to purchase felt gasket and wrap entie smoke box in aluminum insulation to keep smoke and heat in. Great Smoker, Terrible Shipping !

I was using a small brinkmann and also my large charcoal grill as an indirect smoker. The Bandera is the perfect upgrade to something more serious! I can use charcoal, lump, and wood with no issue. Just a little gasket material on the cook door and you're in business. I even added a couple broiler pans for additional shelves!

I've owned for a year now and it's a great addition to my other charbroil products. It's easy to use and achieve great results for smoking bbq. Good even heat. Lots of room for a variety of cooks.

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.
