    I used the Rustoleum High Heat spray paint. The paint is rated at up to 1200 degrees, and with a prepped surface, I don't think it will have any issues.   I haven't done a full smoke yet, but it held up well when I seasoned it.  I don't know if I will have a chance to smoke anything before my...

    Repairs on New Braunfels Hondo Smoker

    I decided to jump in to rebuilding and applying some mods to my smoker.  I just posted some before, during and after pics under the Smokers albums.  Thanks to several threads about mods, paint choices, etc, that I found here on SMF, I got it almost back in working shape.

    My New Braunfels Hondo Overhaul and Mods

    I took an old New Braunfels Hondo SFB and fixed it up - both to prevent further rust damage and to apply some mods I picked up on SMF!
