1/2' x 1/8' Nomex High Temp BBQ gasket smoker pit seal, self stick

I just purchased a Dyna-Glo charcoal barbecue and noticed a serious gap around the lid & firebox. This Nomex solved the problem quickly and easily. Cut & trim to fit (note: recommend very sharp scissors) and stick. Try not to stretch when applying. There was enough Nomex to completely cover the underside lid and firebox door with extra (about 1/3rd) left over. Let cure for 24 hours and you’re good to go. I chose this for the high temp (1000 degree) protection and the great price. Remember, I applied this to the underside of the lid to keep juices or debris from collecting/spilling onto the Nomex. All in all, this was very simple and took about 10-15 minutes with excellent results. I’m very happy with my purchase and recommend this to any griller/smoker looking to better their results.

Worked great for me. I actually got 2 applications out of this length of material which was a bonus. Used on WSM 18 and 22 smokers for the lid. Used on WSM 18 for the door. Night and day difference in performance and ability to maintain a steady temp. Highly recommended.I think the use of the product really comes down to understanding the product design and material, as well as really ensuring a proper installation.If you take the effort to ensure a good installation and the application of the product is reasonable you should see great results.Make sure the surface is cleaned and prepped appropriately. Make sure you don't have weird gaps or overlaps. Do not stretch the material as you go, this is a big one. Gently guide the material where you want it to go and make sure you relieve any tension as you continue to adhere it. Don't worry if you have to pick it up and restick it, I did this during install and the adhesive worked well. This may not be true for dirty surfaces, so clean it.Good luck and happy times.

Seems to to do the job. Gets dirty easily. Should have bought black if it was available. Sticks really well. Could be a little thicker.

I bought this to seal the door on my old style 18" WSM. As great as the WSM is, whoever designed that door should be tried for treason. There are a couple of vendors who sell upgraded replacement doors that provide a better seal, but I found just applying this gasket worked well enough that I'm not having any issues controlling or holding temps now. It's very easy to apply, and the adhesive hasn't been affected at all after probably a dozen cooks over several months. To be clear, I applied the gasket to the inside of the door, not to the body of the WSM. There's still a small amount of leakage, but not enough to impact my cooks anymore.

I but this around the lid of my new Weber Kettle and it worked like a charm. Not one ounce of smoke leak from around the lip of the lid anymore. It did take about 2 cooks for it to settle in and mold to the kettle. Very easy to apply. Took about 10 minutes to put on. Easy and inexpensive fix if you want to use your kettle as a proper smoker.

Easy to apply. Seals well

First let me share that the length of this gasket is 15 feet, since I don't see it anywhere in the description. Plenty for a 30" or 40" pellet smoker, with two bands across the rail that separates the firebox from the upper cabinet and a single band around the rest of the cabinet door frame.My initial efforts with my new Masterbuilt MB130S smoker left me a bit worried about its ability to accurately control and maintain temperature. It's an un-insulated unit, unlike their electric smokers. I'd read that installing a gasket on the door would improve the stability of the temperature, and it most certainly has. Previously, I had to set the smoker to 240F to get it to maintain an average temp of 225F, but now I can set it right at 225F and I'm good to go. Before the gasket, the temperature would swing from 185F to 240F; now it stays mostly within 220F and 230F.Application was very easy; the gasket backing has a short tab that makes peeling it off easy. I thought my installation turned out quite professional looking :DI'm very pleased!

I did a full scrape and scrub of the outer edge of my propane smoker door to have any chance of this sticking. It lasted for a few openings/closings of the door, but after a few times on my first smoke, it started to peel off. Maybe it's a tad too thick because the amount of rub it has, I can't be shocked that it did peel off. I'll keep fiddling with it and the unused portion I have yet to get through smoking in the Michigan winter ahead, but I'll look for a new solution once this roll is gone.

I installed this on the lid of my 22" Napolean kettle.Like some of the reviewers stated, you have to clean the surface well before applying the gasket. Unlike other reviewers, I just used sprayed some Method cleaner and wiped with some rags several times. Once the surface was squeaky clean, I applied the gasket let it sit overnight to form a seal.Next day I did a 600F burn and there was some minor smoke leakage. After examining the area, I just applied the gasket unevenly so the smoke leakage was user error. I carefully adjusted the gasket and the seal is more or less perfect.Not sure if this is the best gasket nor do I care. It works and 20 high temp burns later, there has been no noticeable issues.

Funcióno muy bien, el humo dejo de filtrarse, no le dejo sabor plastico a la comida. Y resiste la temperatura sin problemas

I was skeptical of this product. I have an inexpensive Masterbuilt smoker and biggest complaint is constant tweaking of the temperature.I put this around both door openings and the difference is amazing. No smoke leaking out the sides and I can easily dial in the temperature and it stays there, makes long smokes so much easier. Also, the temperature recovers from opening the door to check the meat much fasterDid a pork butt, came out great. I would absolutely buy this product again.
