I've currently got a new braunfels horizontal hondo smoker that I've had for probably 6-7 years. Anyway, the firebox is getting pretty worn and i expect it to rust out soon. Now, I could just replace it, but I'm considering a smoker like the New braunfels bandera. From what I can see, this is sort of a vertical smoker designed where you could actually use the firebox as a charcoal grill. I wouldn't ever do this. I have a grill for that purpose and my smoker will be strictly a smoker. Give me the advantages of a vertical smoker. My thought is that it will provide me more room for more pieces of meat. Also, let me know what other kinds of vertical smokers are available that I might look at. Thanks, Greg
