Welcome to the site. First,  I am going to repeat what the other folks said.  Use the search engine at the top of the screen for this and any other question you may encounter.  I've been using the site for about 3 weeks and the people that I've spoke to could not be nicer and more sincerely helpful.  Like "THEMULE69" said, we're all smoke junkies.  We all have this in common and want to help each other be successful.

Can you post pictures of your smoker?  I am not familiar  with your  model and would love to see it. 

As for the leak, you might want to reach out to http://www.bbqgaskets.com/     They helped me seal up my smoker.   They have 3 different websites (I think)  All combined they should be able to help you
