People have been using this seal with some success.

Personally, I don't think you'd really gain that much from it.

u/Pompous_Walrus · 2 pointsr/smoking

For sealing you can get some stuff like this.

As far as seasoning goes, i would definitely rub down with olive oil fill a charcoal starter get em ashed over and dump em in the smoker. I didnt put olive oil after the season but i did do it prior to the next time i smoked. Would not hurt to apply after the initial basket of coals has burned through.

Even if it isn't, you could add a high temp gasket and it will seal it up. I was reading on someone else's post about the temp difference they got after adding a gasket and it was not insignificant. LavaLock Grill Gasket

I have the Oklahoma Joe and I like it. Very heavy construction for a low price. It eats a lot of fuel but it is easy to maintain temperature and everything I have smoked on it has come out delicious.

The only modifications I made to mine was some self stick seals for the doors and some food grade high temp sealant for the joints between the firebox and the barrel. Without those it leaked a lot of air/smoke.

I would also recommend a thermometer because the one built into the lid always reads 25-50 degrees hotter than the temperature at the grate where your food is. I use this one and it works great.

Hello! I used this exact same smoker for quite some time. If you really learn out to control the vents and size of your fire, you'll be able to turn out some top notch Q without making any additions. Here's a list of mods you can make to make this thing a GREAT (and much easier to use) smoker: 1. Add Gasket around the edges of the lid of the cooking chamber using food-safe, temperature resistant Adhesive. 2. Add Clamps to the cooking chamber in order to clamp the lid down to the gasket that you added - goodbye leakage, hello steady temps! I also used aluminum duct to extend the chimney inside the cooking chamber down to grate level. This will reduce cooking space slightly, but it will ensure that the smoke hits the meat directly, and will help keep your temps more reliable since the heat is rushing over the grates to escape, rather than going straight over top of the meat.

Edit: Messed up the link formatting.

As some added clarity since I use the same smoker, I ordered this and used it last weekend and it was amazing. I was able to get at least 6 hours of burn. I was making ribs so it only took about 5-5.5 and there were still unashed coals left. With it I can maintain a solid 250F.

I leave the stack damper/lid fully open. And I've insulated my doors with this. And for filling in around the seams, such as the stack or the firebox I purchased this. Those both will take about 24 hours to "cure" according to the directions.

Otherwise I think it's a solid entry-level smoker and hope you enjoy it!

P.S I know someone may ask if that charcoal cage was worth it and the quality is great, the inserts turn it into a snake method cage , and it feels quite sturdy.

i bought a nomex gasket kit before my first smoke and id say it was a great investment. it sealed completely on my second smoke and does not leak at all.

I got a roll of foam tape to seal the door/lid better. A strip of it all around and I notice the temps a lot more stable and much less smoke leaking out. It’s fairly cheap and would work better than regular foil.

u/BMonad · 1 pointr/grilling

Yeah it is this one - I didn’t do much research so I’m not sure if it’s the best but it had good reviews and was cheap enough to try:

Used Barkeeper’s friend, some dish soap and my drill brush to scrub the edges of the grill lid clean.
