So I went ahead and took it all apart and put down a bead of the high temp RTV and then put the pieces back together. I sure am glad I did that as I was taking it a part I could see gaps and a few other issues. Had I not taken it apart I would have put down a RTV bead around the joints to seal...
So last night I picked up my brand new BTLE for $150, what a deal.
Now it has been put together already, unit was the store display one, and I have my shopping list of items I need for the modding but just wondered if I should take it apart and put the RTV on and then reassemble?
Well I found my best price tonight. I got a brand new one for $150! What a deal. Now to start working on the mods. And yes I have the Brinkmann badge. For some reason someone didn't put the nuts on the back of it to keep it from falling off.
Just picked it up tonight. Brand new, never used. I paid $150!!
Now I just need to start working on the mods and then start smoking
My wife works for a warehouse club and this was the floor model. Her boss wanted to gone tonight! What a steal of a deal. Oh and I do have the Brinkmann...
On last nights BBQ Pitmasters, they had a tri tip and all three of the competitors trimmed pretty much it all off and the three judges all said they trim it all off as well. The most important thing is that silver skin.
As for the gasket, you can find a rope style gasket that is use on fireplaces, lowes or HD have them, or you can use a hi temp RTV to create it. There are a bunch of threads here that show how to use either or on your type or similar smoker.
I use the rope style and have been happy with it.
You really need to remove the membrane, I'm sure that there had to be one on them. That does help in getting them tender as well. If you leave it on, you will end up with a tough rib.
