I purchased a Smoker while in TX a few days ago. I have been going down to TX to see my son for 3 years and kept looking at the Helotes Pits. I jumped off the fence and purchased one. I was able to have it deliver to my sons house and am currently waiting for him to move home in the next few weeks. I was able to smoke a brisket and pork butt along with both beef and pork ribs while being down there. All of witch turned out excellent. I am so stoked to get it home and to be able to use it.

Do you have any issues retaining heat or smoke leaking through the sides of the main cooking door since they're not fully flanged on the side?
