I bought a BBQ Pro offset smoker on sale at Sears. I have read bout the many mods that can make these cheap smokers more reliable. One mod is plugging airgaps to improve airflow/control.
I started to put the unit together last night and the firebox comes in two pieces a top and bottom that are screwed together. I'm wondering if I should put some silicon sealant (or other sealant) in between these two before I assemble them? Or is that overkill? I also plan on making some sort of seal for the door.
The big question is what to use? Will Hi-temp silicon last? I'm not sure how got the firebox will burn and most high-temp stuff seems to indicate 400-500 degree limits. Is there a better solution?
Thanks,
Z
