New Smoker Advice Needed

[doubles]

I just received a Charbroil Oklahoma Joe Longhorn.  I have seasoned it twice this week and in doing so I have noticed that smoke leaks around the door on the smokeing chamber and there is a little gap on the fire box that allows air in even with the baffle fully closed.  Does anyone have any advice on correcting these two problems?

thanks

Not familiar with your smoker, but I'm sure someone who is will be along shortly.
