WSM airtight
Does anyone have advice on the best way to add a seal the side door on a wsm? I was thinking of putting a bead of heat res silicone around it so when I lock it in place it hopefully creates a good seal.

Re: WSM airtight
The WSM doesn't need to be air tight, but if you feel you must, use a nomex gasket to fill the gap.

Re: WSM airtight
Cheers, I'm only making airtight as I'm going to use the the QI 120 and have read that it works best if the whole thing is airtight.

Re: WSM airtight
i use a stoker with both of my wsm's and i've never felt the need to seal up any gaps, you just need to close up the top vent 3/4 of the way closed and let it do it's thing.
