So I just bought my new smoker I need a recomendation for a high temp type tape/rope for my firebox as well as a tape/rope for the other doors that one dosnt need to be as highly rated 500 degrees would be good. Typically how long will these last on a smoker before theybwill need to be replaced?
Thanks for any help.

Think about using smaller splits when building a fire...  A bed of coals is good for adding smaller splits to....

Lavalock has several products.
BBQ gaskets offers various types of sealing options. Alot of info in search bar on hi-temp sealing. Depends really on unit itself that your sealing.
