That makes a lot of sense. Thanks!

I usually smoke an 8 pound boneless butt at 225 - 235 for 1.5 - 2 hours per pound and have had great results. My family cannot agree on which type of rub to use for the next one so I'm thinking of cutting it in half and smoking two 4 pound butts. Logically, it would seem like smoking two 4...

For those of you still following this thread, I plan on smoking a pork butt next Saturday. It will be a fairly small one (7 - 8 pounds). It's pretty cold here in Indianapolis but I have a welding blanket (didn't buy it, prior homeowner left it) to keep the smoker warm. Anyone want to tell me...

Thanks. I'm going to give that a try.

Hell, I don't mind. I did the initial burn in and other than a gap on one side, it actually sealed pretty well without the gasket, so everyone's reassurance was helpful. I'm going to try just a short piece of gasket for the gap, and am also considering installing latches if the short piece of...

Good idea. The attached pic doesn't really allow for an appreciation of the size of the gap, but it hopefully gives enough of an idea of what I'm talking about. It's big enough that I expect it will allow more than an acceptable amount of heat and smoke to escape, but it's small enough that...

No problem. Thanks for taking the time to offer the suggestion!

My football number in high school!

Seems like the general consensus is to not blindly follow everything you see on Youtube! I appreciate the reassurance. The good news is the gasket was inexpensive and easily removed.

The left side of my Oklahoma Joe Highland cook chamber lid appears to seal nicely. The right side has a gap 1/3 to 1/2 the way up from the bottom. I haven't done the initial burn yet so I don't know what kind of leakage I will have. But IF I decide that I need to install latches, should I...

Thank you for the warm welcome. I'm probably overthinking it. Hell, since I haven't even fired it up yet I don't even know how well it seals on its own. I do have a specific place with a bit of a door gap (I know, you're thinking "here he goes again") but I will post my question about that...

Hello. As a newbie I couldn't bring myself to spend the $ on a high-end smoker so I "settled" for the Oklahoma Joe Highland Reverse Flow. I've done a lot of internet research and Youtube watching in an effort to get things started correctly. Everyone seemed to swear by installing a gasket for...
