    The mods that I have done to my packs is to put fireblack gasket around the cook chamber, never have been able to get it to stay on the fire box, and put in a Horizon smoker convection plate http://www.horizonbbqsmokers.com/accessories-1/16-convection-plate.

    This past weekend during my smoke, the gasket I had on the cook chamber started coming off. I had used fireblack the last time, it didn’t last all that long, about nine months. What is a good gasket to replace it with?

    If your temps are that far apart close the gaps in your tuning plates. The tuning plate closest to the fb should be almost touching, then all the other ones spread out just a little more, like the picture included. I run stack wide open, door damper half closed. Temps are +- 10 degrees or so.
