I have a new braunfels smoker black diamond and need parts or catalog

Obviously I can't know definitely but I suspect your item will need a bespoke repair rather than any simple replacement parts.

The New Braunfels Smoker you have is made by the W.C. Bradley Co. The same company that makes Charbroil grills and Zebco fishing equipment. However, they do not list parts or Owner's Manuals for the Braunfels Smoker on any of their websites. As a matter of fact, the search doesn't even recognize the Model #.

So, here's my best advice. Go back to the retailer you purchased your smoker from. See if they have another in stock. If they do, ask them to please make you a copy of the Owners Manual. Most retailers are happy to do this for you.

Hope this helps you.

I could not find a manual to download however I did find the website with parts online.

Smoker are a wonderful thing once you figure them out. Most store bought smokers can use some help to work their best. Here is a link to mods you can perform on your unit to make it a better cooker. I hope this helps.

Take a look on amazon. here: Amazon com Braunfels Smoker I hope I have helped. Cheers

inexpensive solution is to go to any hardware store, buy some sheet metal (thin gauge) and make it yourself, even if you have to buy sheetmetal snips

It sounds like you have an "offset smoker". The fire goes in in the firebox (the small offset box). If you have a rack that fits in the firebox, you can put that in there too and use it to grill.

Go to www.charbroil.com and click on "instruction manuals" and find the manual for the one that looks the most like yours. Char-Broil took over New Braunfels a few years ago.

Once you have it assembled, there are huge resources on the web on how to use it.

Personally I rarely use charcoal, I prefer the taste of cooking with Pecan wood - if you live in Texas you can buy a 50lb bag at Academy for about 10 bucks.

I grill over the firebox part directly (although I often close all the dampers and let the meat smoke a little while cooking). A few times a year I'll smoke a turkey or other meat in the main chamber, keeping the fire in teh firebox.

i need replacement grilling grates for my black diamond smoker can someone help?

This is the web site for a company that owned the New Braunfels Turkey Fryer. Look at the info and videos for the 'Big Easy' and the instructions are roughly the same.
