NBBD converted into a propane smoker
« Reply #-1 on: January 28, 2012, 01:26:11 PM »
After painting my New Braunfels Black Diamond I needed to heat it up to cure the paint (outside only).  I didn't want to make a mess with ashes from charcoal and wood, so I took a burner from a turkey fryer and temporarily mounted it inside the firebox.  It worked so well, that I decided to make my NBBD into a convertible smoker.  I can now either use the charcoal basket to smoke normally, or I can use this gas conversion for an easy smoke. 

Here are some pictures of the conversion.







I can't wait to try cooking something on it.
