I got it off of amazon! It is pretty easy to install, drill about four holes up top and pick up some bolts from the hardware store.

It truly is a big help with when smoking!

I got my gasket from academy . And it stops the smoke from coming out the door. So it does it's job.

That I did! Gasket ran $8, the hard part was putting together the needle valve assembly with the stock hose.

With all of these mods it has made smoking easier, temp control was the main goal and that has been easy to find and maintain. I am in NC so in the winter months i can maintain close to around 140 without any issues and then i can still get it all the way up to 350 if i need to!

It's been a crazy few days for me. Sorry, but what is the academy? I'm interested in buying one.

I see. I'm in SoCal and we don't have any Academy stores that I know of here.

I got mine from Lowe's. It was Oklahoma Joe's Gasket (the only gasket they had in stock).

I'm going to have to look into that needle mod. Trying to get this thing a steady temp has been a full time endeavor!

I have a older Masterbuilt Gashouse smoker (in my avatar). Did a gasket around the door and helped a lot with smoke loss around door and temp management.
