If you can find a pre 97 New Braunfels it was built like a submarine. Char Broiler LLC bought New Braunfels and Oklahoma Joe's and made them subsidiaries. Dont thing they make anything now out of the NB name, and finding the old ones are near impossible in any kind of condition. Its the fireboxes that burn out even the 1/4" steel so really your better off with bolt on so that part is replaceable. Also 1/8" vs 1/4" steel doesnt mean much in temperature retainment only really added weight. I would be fine the thinner gauge as long as the firebox is replaceable because it will burn out long before your smoke chamber. Only disadvantage really would be needing modifications.
