For all you ECB owners out there, what size gasket did you purchase to close up the gap around the lid once it's placed on the smoker body? Also, is there a thermometer to replace the same size as the W-I-H that is currently in the lid ?

Hey Bob,hey Mike - Did you get your gasket?
Bob,hey Mike - Did you get your gasket?
Well I got it on @ 9pm. Will let it sit until 9pm tomorrow and will be putting on the pork @ 6am on Friday. Kinda wish I got a wider gasket, but the 3/8 will do.I looked at how the lid sat and test fitted the gasket and trimmed it to fit. Then I used a marker and made marks on the lid where the RTV would go (approx) so I would put it on straight. Then I ran the bead of RTV and put the gasket into the RTV and against the lid then I test fitted it to be sure it was sitting pretty well against the lid and outside of the smoker. I then ran a bead of RTV around the top of the gasket right where the lid and the gasket meet to be sure I had a good seal. The hardest part was not touching it for 24 hours so it was good and dry.
Hey Mike and jrbab;Just was wondering if I don't have any dampers on the ECB, will it get to hot with the pork since I'm using the gasket now?
