MES 30 door burned

[ponderingturtle]

So smoking for the 4th and after pulling the meat I left my amaze n smoker pellet smoker going and didn't close the door.  It was maybe still 2/3rds full and apparently flared up and burned up the seal and melted the plastic on the top of the door.  What to do now?

Think this can be repaired?

Clean it up and put on a new door seal....   You can go with an aftermarket door seal...   I don't believe anything is wrong with the smoking box...

Second look, the door looks melted....    Check the door fit..... might work anyway....

The sides felt like they might have damaged foam insulation in them.

You are probably correct...   I don't know what insulation MES has in them....

Email Masterbuilt. Someone else here had to replace a door and if memory serves they shipped him one for about $35.
