Just purchased my first smoker. Picked up a Master Forge two door, I did enough research to know that I need to seal the doors so bought some 3/8 rope seal at the same time. I just finished seasoning the smoker and saw smoke leaking for the doors. I do have the handle latches at the loosest position and plan on pushing them back to make a tighter seal. I did a boling water water calibration on the door thermonator and found it reading 60° high, but when I seasoned the smoker the highest temp I could get was about 260°. I will be picking up another thermonter soon. Any reccomendations? I will be attemping a pork picnic shoulder tomorrow for pulled pork. I'll let you know how it turns out.
