The old Bandera needs a replacement firebox liner (no longer offered by the successor manufacturer) as well as a new charcoal grate (easy) and some paint. While I have a good tile saw which would allow me to taper some fire bricks to line the firebox, I've noticed something else which sounds like it might be worth a try (although a bit more expensive). Lynn Manufacturing (LynnMfg.com) has a "soft and moist ceramic fiber blanket that can be formed to the shape of an existing chamber as a liner. Hardens when fired.". It's supposedly good up to 2300 degrees F. I have no information on just how hot it has to be fired in order for it to harden, but the idea sort of intrigues me. Has anyone tried this stuff? It's a "Kaowool" product, in other words kaolin-based.
