Hello All!
BBQ Noob Question #112,416:
I have ordered a new smoker to add to my smoker toolset, a Brinkmann Vertical Smoker, and have picked up the RTV silicone and ordered the flat gasket from BBQGasket.com -- but was wondering, should I season the smoker first and then apply the RTV and/or gasket, or apply it as I put it together and then season the smoker?
Sounds like a simple question on the surface but I was concerned the smoker may seal itself during the seasoning cook and perhaps the sealant methods may be better after?
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
