Best gasket for sealing cook chamber and firebox?

[cnl390]

I am going to replace the gasket material on my offset. It currently has the Lavalock felt type gaskets, but that material smashes down over time. And some of the gaps on my pit are little wider. What do you all recommend? I am thinking about going with the rope type attached with RTV.

If your gaps will allow it, the rope type is excellent. I have used it on three different kamados (BGE, Primo, and Grill Dome) and it works very well with good longevity.

However, I don't the clearance on my Lone Star offset would allow for it.
