    OKJ Bandera Vertical Offset - Best Mod of the Water Pan

    Yeah, It depends on how much you cook. I use this smoker for all my cooks, no matter how small so I adjust accordingly. I was amazed when I first used this smoker at how efficient it is compared to a horizontal offset. Have you ever used a combo horizontal- vertical offset? I wonder if it has...

    OKJ Bandera Vertical Offset - Best Mod of the Water Pan

    Ah yeah. It helps if it's left on solid ground. I am constantly moving mine around because it doesn't have a permanent home yet. When it is not fairly level I can tell by how the doors line up, especially the firebox door. If it's flexing enough there can be a 1/2" gap on the top. I do plan on...

    OKJ Bandera Vertical Offset - Best Mod of the Water Pan

    Please, I hope you are not offended by my comment of your drawings, I was only jesting. I can't draw worth nothing. But just from drawings it's a bit difficult to see what's going on. Good ideas regardless! Thank you. I think you may be misunderstanding what I'm doing with my fire box. Sure...

    OKJ Bandera Vertical Offset - Best Mod of the Water Pan

    Hey! Sorry so long. Got some pictures for you to see. The first two you can see where the blower is installed. I got the smoker used from another member on this form actually and he had(I think it was him) the fan installed in that location. I like the location it is in now only because it is...

    OKJ Bandera Vertical Offset - Best Mod of the Water Pan

    Ah, that makes sense the way you are running your fire. For me, I tend to have my fire more towards the center of the firebox. Main reason is because I have a blower that is attached to the left wall of the firebox, also because I feel it gives a more indirect/ even heat. I'll also have some...

    OKJ Bandera Vertical Offset - Best Mod of the Water Pan

    Hi. I have the same smoker. I’ll have to try a rectangular pan to see how that works. I do use a rectangle drip pan when doing a turkey and don’t notice a difference in heat distribution. I also use some metal plates in the top of the firebox slightly angled up towards the smoking chamber. I...

    Oklahoma Joe's Bandera Opinions

    Hey all, I recently received a Bandera and would like to get tinkering with it. I tried to find the “101” document but couldn’t create an account on the forum where you can download it, so unable to get it. Would someone be able to send the document to me? Thanks in advance!
