About 15 year ago I purchased a New Braunfels smoker that served me well until last year. It was of very high quality and easy to use. I purchased this smoker as a replacement. Unfortunately the current New Braunfels smoker is not of the same quality. After the first use the firebox started to sag and its shape distorted. As a result the firebox lid would not close properly and a large percentage of the smoke would leak from the box instead of being directed into the main cooking chamber. From what I can tell the metal is simply too thin. I would recommend spending a little more money and purchasing a better constructed product.
✘ No,
I do not recommend this product.
This is the first review I came across but there are SEVERAL more that say the same thing.....NOT GOOD QUALITY (like the older models)
You may want to do some more research before you pull the trigger.
