    I have a smokehouse style smoker I built and have been having troubles with the gasket I used.  I am wondering what would work the best, I would prefer something a little wider than a rope gasket.  Would kaowool stripping work or is that real fluffy and would compress to nothing?

    Finally started a Hardie Backer Smoker

    Great looking smoker Wazoo!  I just got done building one that was inspired from Rancid Crabtree as well, check it out in the bottom of my signature.  I would highly recommend a needle valve for your propane line it is a great way to fine tune the smoker temp without having to open any doors.
