    Good afternoon Bruce. I have followed Wes into directions that cannot be thanked enough when building a brick smoker! I have personally used 1/2" wide X 1/8" thick Lavalock high temp Nomex gasket mortar seal on each door. This works great for about 2-3 year span and replace, but depending on...

    P.S. Seal them doors up with 1/2'' X 1/8'' Lavalock High Temp Nomex gasket, it will maintain better and  keep your brick clean. You did an awesome job!
