I’ve had my first smoker for about four years now.   As I’ve said before this thing has deficiencies.
I noticed a couple of years ago that there was a dent in the front wall of the smoker. It’s down on the right side near the hinge. The door gasket won’t seal this area and I get a lot of liquid leaking out during smoking. And I can’t remember doing anything which would’ve caused this dent!
		
	
		
	
I took the bottom plate off thinking I could bang out the dent. But there’s a hard foam insulation in the bottom. So I would like to fill in this cavity. My first thought might be Bondo. And then paint that area again afterwards. I already scuffed up the area hoping something will bond to that.
does anyone else have any better suggestions to repair this area?
thanks!
