Total Control 1/2 x 1/8 Black Hi Temp BBQ smoker Gasket Self Stick15 ft LavaLock

The Total Control 1/2 x 1/8 Black Hi Temp BBQ smoker Gasket is a nice quality gasket to help seal up a BBQ grill or as a replacement gasket for a smoker. The material is felt like and it's adhesive seems to work securely when placed. I've used this to help seal up a charcoal BBQ grill whose lid is completely metal to metal contact. The gasket has successfully sealed up the grill leaving only minimal smoke to escape.I would make sure that the surface is completely clean to ensure good adhesion. I recommend placing on the grill when new or close to it as any build up is difficult to remove. Overall, works great!

I read the reviews just like you are doing now. It does stick very well and works very well...if you do it right from the start. Don't get in a hurry, slap it on and go smoking. Clean your area first!! I used another way to seal the smoker and it did not work. So mine is 2 years old and been used a lot! So I took blue dawn and a green scratch pad and cleaned the lip areas and cleaned and cleaned and cleaned. You are getting my point. I let it dry completely...for hours! Once completely clean and dried I applied the seal. I only cut through the seal not the plastic. I unrolled short sections and applied apx 6 inches at a time to make sure it was straight. I waited 24 hrs to cure and MAGIC. My smoker door and fire box door leaks no smoke. You get in a hurry and don't clean properly you will be disappointed. Do it right the first time and you won't have to do it again. If it's a brand new smoker you are ahead of the ball game.

Just purchased a new smoker and had heard about this gasket on several Facebook rooms for the RecTeq smokers. Decided to order and install befor first cook. Was easy to install and gave it a few days on before I even smoked anything. First smoke was not very long. Second smoke had a pork butt for a long smoke. Left it on for a good 6 hours before I opened the lid. In doing so saw that some of the gasket stuck to the grill when I lifted it up. Didn’t smoke at too high of a heat so not sure why some of the gasket adhered to the grill itself. It does keep the smoke residue from the bottom of the grill. Just need to figure out how to get the bit of gasket residue off.

The gasket material came with a 1" lead of just the paper backing which made it easy to separate it from the gasket material (some users complained of having problems in getting the paper backing off of the gasket material). Cleaned the surface, then cleaned with alcohol and put on the gasket as recommended about 4-6" at a time to get it on straight along the edge of the grill lid then let it sit for 24 hours as recommended. Fired up the Traeger to cook some bacon, the gasket stayed in place and sealed the grill really well. Great product!

Review is 1 yr. Bought this gasket because of the high temp claims and it was felt. I was looking to MOD my new VICTORY 35 pellet smoker. Read the remarks that it did not stick well, so I cleaned the lid areas with parts cleaner and then applied. After one year I can say that it did come loose in a couple of areas but I had enough left on the roll to just replace as needed. I'm a Novice backyard cooker, so I don't do a lot of smoking. I live in NE Texas, so I do have more months available than say northern states. Smokes in the summer are subject to ambient temps of 100+ a couple of months a yr. and I don't smoke above 300 degrees. The CONS would be that the packing received on the last two purchases has been different, but the product seems to be the same for quality and durability. TIP: Use PERMATEX gasket instead. Sticks well and last a long time.

I cleaned the surfaces with alcohol before using and had no issues with adhesion.I read advice to avoid putting this on the top joint of the door or it wouldn't close properly. Will try it anyway soon and update this review. I suspect for my smoker, very large and very heavy gauge steel, it will work.

I was given a hand me down upright charcoal smoker by my neighbor in return for the promise of some smoked salmon. It sat in his garage basically unused, still in basically new shape. Upright, charcoal style with 2 doors, lower for charcoal/ chips & water pan, upper for food. Decent simple design, but inexpensive sheet metal and on the first use, the upper doors leaked badly. Too much draft so too much heat (impossible to control airflow to the charcoal to keep it burning slowly and cool) and the smoke from the chips just seeped out.Good surface prep, degreased the door seal area with Simple Green followed by several wipes with rubbing alcohol to get it back to clean paint and no chicken grease.The crack and peel backing came off without issue, the gasket stuck in place really well (so far, we'll see over time). The adhesive on it is VERY sticky, once it's on, it's on. Don't bother trying to pull it off, you'll just tear it. The material it's made of feels like loosely woven felt, very soft. Fiberglass? Rockwool?Anyway, I modded the door handle closure (bent it) so it really cinches the door tight and gave it a test run. Voila, zero smoke leaked from around the door, much more controllable and the smoke stayed inside doing its job.If it fails or comes off in an unreasonable amount of time, I'll edit my review.

Good quality and easy to install very happy 😊

No issues with the adhesive, as per some of the other reviews. Seems to be holding up really well, even with the high temps of the fire box. Had just enough to seal both doors, between the firebox and the cooking chamber, and also between the top and bottom of the firebox on my smoker. My only complaint is how fiddly it is to peel the back off the gasket - will definitely purchase again (if I even need to).

It worked to seal up my 22" weber kettle that is a little warped and 10 years old.Makes it easier to keep a steady temp when smoking meat on it.

This was super easy to apply to my smoker and immediately made a big difference in the smoke escaping around the door

La bande collante s’est toute enlever du joint, impossible de le coller par la suite. Il y a seulement 3 pieds qui a bien fonctionné.
