Just finished a partial refurbishment to my old New Braunfels Black Diamond. What that entailed was pretty much taking it apart and handing my kids the electric sander and some serious grit paper and then repainting with black grill paint and new bolts, nuts, etc.
What I really wanted to do was something a bit more custom....but trying to find any high-heat paint that wasn't white or black was a pain in the ass. What I did find was insanely expensive.
I also want to get a bit more insulation going on this puppy. I'm going to add some metal oven gasket to both the cooking area and smoker box doors. Wish I still had the welder...I'd add a lip around the gaps of the vent door on the side of the smoker box.
Any ideas on the paint or some simple ways to retain just a bit more heat?
