Like many I am losing smoke from the door on my master forge. I went to both home depot and lowes today to get a oven seal kit, but they don't keep them in stock. So I found 3M fire block sealant, can I use this to put around the doors? Thanks
Yeas the Rutland Silicone will.The Rutland product I posted and have been using for 10 plus years dries to a flexible, rubbery feel to it.
http://www.rutland.com/productinfo/black-furnace-cement.htmlJust thought I'd revive this old thread to mention that I've found a NEW higher temp RTV silicone.......for a few cents more, i found RTV rated at 750f. Seems that the general consensus is that there is no problem with using Silicone RTV.
just wondering if there is any high temp epoxy that is recomended for smokers?? or any high temp cement based fillers??
Actually, I went ahead and gave the 3m stuff a go. the white papers on it specifically cite repairing cracked fire bricks and wood stoves as a use for it and it's supposed to be good up to 750 degrees CELSIUS so should be great for the firebox. I won't be surprised if it doesn't do well for sealing the doors but we will find out! someone has to be the guinea pig!!!!
Just go buy the red permatex chalk in the auto section, clean the surface of the door real well and lay a good bead od chalk down, on the door cover the area with saran wrap then close the door and let it cure for a day or two then open dor and remove the saran wrap.
