    Questions about modding my Smoke Hollow Pro 44

    So I have had my Smoke Hollow Pro 44 smoker for about 2 years now and use it a lot. I have never really cared about the leaking smoke until a few months ago (even leaking I got a good amount of smoke). I just bought a tube of RTV high heat from autozone to try and fix some of the leaks. My...
