Smoker Questions
I live in an awesome neighborhood. I just took possession of a free smoker from a neighbor who had bought a new one. The brand on the thing is New Braunfels, and as far as I can tell, although I could be wrong, it's Black Diamond.

A few years back, with mixed results, I taught myself how to smoke on something of Farr less quality (judging just the weight of the thing, alone). So I wonder, beforw I begin, if I need to do any work on this. I'll post pictures to follow.

Here is the outside. Previous owner said he painted it recently, and put a new thermometer on it. A few spots of rust, but not too bad.

I'm smoking about three to four packs a day. I don't recommend it.

So I wonder, should I sand the inside and repaint it before doing anythibg, or just go ahead and roll with it.

Are there any (cheap) modifications I should make?

Don't use paint, even the low heat could cause it to put out toxic fumes.

I just inherited one too. I took a wire brush to the grates and insides. Washed everything put a coat of high heat paint on the outside, then coated the inside with cooking oil and cured it.

Those things were built like a battleship. I remember them being sold by Sam's club along with Oklahoma Joe's smokers 6 to 8 years ago. Always had my curiosity but got a weber smoker instead. I know people who had them loved them. SOS brillo pad the rust inside hose or high pressure wash it out spread cooking oil or a cheap can of cooking Crisco or lard heat and season and enjoy. The propane he must have added himself. Is the burner element with it.
