    Sealing a Char Griller Smoking pro

    Thanks. I will buy some mean green. My only question is then for where I have the rtv sealing the one hole that came pre-cut, I put a big glob of rtv to cover that hole on the inside and then some to keep the cheesy charbroil emblem from leaking. What do you recommend I use to seal those?

    Sealing a Char Griller Smoking pro

    Looks like over did the application of the RTV on the inside  both the firechamber which is where I'm sure the majority of the smell is coming from and inside the cooking chamber putting it around all bolts, the chimney, the logo. Funny thing. I put two thermoters and tightened them down. No...

    chargriller seal modification

    I did two burns and cooked a whole chicken, sprayed a full can of pam on the inside of the cooking chamber and it still smells like serious chemicals. I wonder should I remove it and apply another type of rtv?

    Pro Seal Red Hi Temp RTV Silicone

    I used the red permatex sealant on all the screws inside the smoker chamber and my grill smells like serious chemicals. Is there something better where I can get all the seal and it not smell?

    Use of Permatec Red RTV Gasket Selaer for Smoker Grills

    Man. You're right. It does stink. I was trying to seal all my screws for the smoker chamber, the firebox to smoke chamber seal. I thinkI used too much. My grill and meat smell very much like chemicals. I think I'm going to have to remove the sealant.

    Permatec Red RTV Sealant

    I smoked a whole chicken. The grill was sealed very good but the meat and grill still smells like the chemicals of the red permatex sealer I used. Is this normal? Maybe I put too much sealant inside the grill sealing every screw and place where there is a connection.  Is there some other type of...

    New BBQ beans recipe

    My wife now states she does not like the taste of the grill ever. I did have some bad smoke times and I think she remembers that yet I've had some recent parties where everybody ate up 2 racks of ribs, two big packs of chicken. She saw them do it and still won't give in.:) Oh well. More meat for...

    Permatec Red RTV Sealant

    I did a long burn last sunday. Got the grill up to 550 at times. The red is now black. Still has some odor but not as bad. I plan to try and cook some meat on it today as a test and see how it tastes and if I fall out sick. :)  I'll take pics and show the grill later.  I got another response...

    Permatec Red RTV Sealant

    I guess you're right. I plan to do a long burn with some cheap instant light briquettes and a decent size piece of oak to get it real hot/smokey for 4-5 hours and see if that burns out the smell. My concern is that with the smell if it would end up smelling/tasting like that in the meat. I'll...

    Permatec Red RTV Sealant

    Ok. I emailed Permatec and here's the responses. Weird that everybody is using it yet the company that makes it says not to.  I'm going with what you guys say and just do another high temp burn for 4-5 hours in hopes to burn off that smell. Me:  Is the red rtv safe to use in bbq grills? We do...

    Thanks Dave. When I ran it saturday for the first time, temps were 350 near the fire box and about 325 near the smoke stack but only lasted for 3 hours and then started to drop. I guess I'll burn it maybe with a full bag and full like you said to get it hot. Would you recommend me putting...

    Permatec Red RTV Sealant

    Thanks everyone. I already received the one response which is to keep burning till the smell goes away. Will the orange eventually turn black and that's when the smell should go away? I was thinking of maybe using a whole bag of charcoal to keep it going for 4-5 hours in hopes that will burn...
