I had a NBBD smoker for 3 years before I upgraded to a Banderra. I am
extremely happy with my Banderra after about 2 years of using it. The
vertical firebox maintains a more consistant temperature throughout than the
long horizontal smokers, and you can really fit alot of food in it at once.
I actually put off the purchase since it was a little expensive at $288, but
in retrospect it has been well worth it.
