Worth buying gasket for Rec Tec?

[Whistle]

I'm curious how well does the lid seal on the Rec Tec RT-700 grill?

I've seen a few people on other grills using a gasket on their pellet grills and was wondering, would it be worth it to buy a roll of the Fireblack smoker gasket for the RT 700?

Why do you think you need a gasket ??? Is smoke pouring out the lid ??

I didn't say I did need one. I'm still waiting to take delivery on my RT 700.

As I stated I have seen others add such a gasket due to heat and smoke retention. I'm asking if that's needed or suggested for the RT 700. ;)

I do not have any on mine and really believe they wouldn’t be of much value. I get some leakage around the hinge points but very minor. B
