Questions about 1/2" x 1/8" Lavalock High Temp Nomex BBQ HT gasket smoker seal, self stick grey

Do you place the gasket in between the lid and the outer shell of the smoker or on the "ledge" where the lid sits when it's inserted into the smoker?

Answer: On my Smoke Hollow grill, I placed the gasket the outside perimeter of my smoker and charcoal grill where the lid rests when I close the lid.

Answer: I placed mine between the door edge and the smoker barrel. Just be sure to brush it down to bare metal and clean with alcohol before application.

Answer: Not sure what brand or type of smoker you have. On mine, the lid basically just overlaps the body of the pit, so I just had to stick the gasket to the lid on the inside so it created a seal when the lid closed. It is two smooth surfaces coming together that I had to seal up. You might want to talk to a local dealer, or better yet, someone who manufactures the smoker you have or something similar and see what they recommend. Good Luck!

Answer: I have a Smoke Hollow grill with hinges on the back of the hood. I installed the gasket on the perimeter of the bucket where the grates are and where the lid rests when closed. Directions say to let cure for 24 hours, did ribs after that, worked perfectly. I would suggest cleaning the mating surface first, I used alcohol and removed all existing grease.

Answer: my application was not on a smoker but a powder coating oven. So unfortunately i can be of no help to you

If I purchase 2 will both ship together for $4.62 total shipping?

Answer: You are not going to be charged double the shipping. Usually there is a very small charge for the second item. You should be able to see the total shipping you will be charged before completing the order.

I have a camp chef dlx, would this gasket cause any issues with the door being able to open?

Answer: opening the door is no problem but i have the same smoker as you and I shimmed the two hinges with washers to raise the hinge so the lid would seal properly. I'm super happy I put this gasket on the smoker.

Answer: I have a Camp Chef Lux and I works great, it does take a little time to wear in so it seals up even as the lids do not have a consistent gap all the way around. However, it seals up much better with the new seal.

Answer: I had to shim the two hinges with washers so it will close properly. I recommend putting on a gasket so you will retain 90% of the smoke.

Answer: the gasket will work for any grills and smokers.

Answer: I used it on a brinkman two door vertical smoker and it works perfectly

Answer: Yes it will just needs to break in to have a better fit.

Would this fit on a Traeger 22

Answer: yes

Have a new smoker. Does it have to be seasoned before applying this gasket?

Answer: No it doesn't. It should be applied to a clean surface so the gasket sticks to the metal. I actually used a degreaser on mine before applying the gasket to make sure it was 100% clean.

Answer: I would recommend that you not season it before you install the gasket,you want the surfaces clean as possible. Prep the surface with rubbing alcohol, let dry. Then apply silicone very carefully. Let set 24hrs. Then season your smoker.

Answer: I wouldn't suggest it. I applied my gasket to a new smoker/bbq, and it worked fine. If you wait until it's seasoned, I'd recommend cleaning the surfaces thoroughly before applying the gasket.

Answer: Yes season your smoker first.

Answer: No. I put mine on and let it sit for 24 hours and then seasoned it.

Answer: No but if you do just wipe the edges do with alcohol to clean the excess oils off before applying

Will this work well on a oklahoma joe judge grill?

Answer: Yes...!

Answer: Yes any grill

How well does this work on a camp chef sg24?

Answer: I can’t tell you. I am using it for a Oklahoma Joes highland and it does work great.

Answer: Works fantastic on WeberGrill 22”. Don’t know about Camp Chef.

Would this work on the RecTec 590?

Answer: Yes just cut to the length needed and apply the adhesive strip

How high is ultra im thinking about using this as a seal for a blacksmithing forge im going to make?

Answer: I do not remember seeing a temperature range on the packaging but I had my grill at 500 degrees for a few hours to burn off any chemicals inside. I typically have it at a 200-300 degree range. Once you stick it on it is not coming off. I did test a piece with a blow torch and it held up very well.

Will this fit pitboss austin xl?

Answer: I believe it will. You can measure the lid circumference and get the length you need for sure.

Will this gasket stick to wood?

Answer: If the wood is dry and cleaned with alcohol yes, it will stick, you could also lightly sand the wood where you want this to adhere. This is a high temp gasket not really for a flammable application.

Answer: Has a really good adhesive on the back so I would assume it would just fine.

Answer: If it were finished and smooth i bet it would. it's pretty sticky. But porous unfinished would? Can't say for sure.

Answer: It should

Answer: I believe so but don't know for sure.

Will this fit the char griller super pro 2121?

Answer: Yes it should

What is the maximum temperature for the seal? Will it work on a firebox close to 1k F at peak

Answer: Probably not, but it depends on the cooker. LavaLock XTR is a higher temp rating, or type in LavaLock Firebox gasket in the amazon search

Answer: Personally I would not recommend putting this on a firebox. Not that this product would not be able to do the job. However if you’re trying to seal the firebox you should spend the money and get the same type of seal that you see on your stove or oven.

Answer: I used it on a smoker with a max heat of 350 f there was no perceived damage at that temperature.

Answer: Did not last past the third time I smoked meat. Became hard and brittle and fell off. Would no recommend for a high heat smoker. I never heated mine past 325 degrees and it did not last.

Answer: The packaging says 800 f.

Answer: The package says 800 degrees.

Is this safe to use for both the cooking chambers and the firebox? Seems to me the firebox would need something that could withstand more heat.

Answer: It's great for around the cooking chamber, however, I would use a fiberglass rope (used in fireplaces) for the firebox. This can be purchased from amazon, Ace Hardware and many other places.

Answer: I used it on the firebox and cooking chamber. I've smoked with it on both doors at least a dozen times, it's still stuck on and sealing the doors.

Answer: I installed it on both the fire box and cook area and have not had an issue, but I must qualify I have only used the smoker 3 times but it's holding up good so far.

Answer: i have used it for both

Can you self clean oven?

Answer: Not sure but can u self clean my oven??

Answer: I self clean my oven as my neighbors won't do it for me.

Answer: No ma’am!

does this work for a oklahoma joes highland smoker?

Answer: This is similar to what we offer for that grill. It will work, but we have a actual gasket kit for that smoker that we recommend and support. Thank you -Island Outdoor, LLC

Answer: Any smoker that needs gaps filled to keep the smoke where it needs to be, this product will go a long way to achieve that.

Answer: yes

Do I need a different gasket for the firebox on my offset?

Answer: The Lavalock, while rated for high temp (800 degrees), but is not enough for the fire box. It is more for use to contain the smoke from escaping the cooker portion. To seal the firebox (not sure that is necessary), one would need to use the 1200 degree rope type of gasket that gets glued in place. Again, not sure that is really necessary. If the offset is functioning correctly, the majority of the heat should be drafting towards the chimney. The rope stuff is pretty thick. As such, you will likely not be happy attempting to seal the fire box door............. Good luck !!!

Answer: No, it will work...may have to double up on the larger gaps. Been real plsd w/this gasket mat'l!

Answer: No

how long is the roll? I have a char griller pro

Answer: 15 feet. we sell a complete gasket and toggle kit for the chargriller 8125, call us for cust service

Answer: I believe mine was 14-15 feet.

Answer: About 14'

Has anyone used this on a 22 inch Weber charcoal grill?

Answer: No I have not.

will this work on a weber kettle 22"

Answer: Yes it will, however we have another material that we like a little better for the Webers, because its a touch softer. FireBlack 12 (1/2 x 1/8). call us for details. thanks

Answer: You'd have to measure the circumference of the bowl to see if there is enough on a roll and also figure out if the cover of the BBQ is heavy enough to weight the tape to provide an effective seal. It's worked great on my Mastercraft smoker. Sticks really well and provides a really good seal when the doors are latched.

Answer: Yes. I have a 26.75 and there was plenty left. Make sure the cover is clean, don't put it on the bowl. Put it on without stretching it and pull the paper back as you go.. Put the cover back on and let it sit 24+ hours so the adhesive sets.

will this work on TEC grill ceramic burners

Answer: I purchased this for the doors on my Smoke Hollow smoker and it works great for that. The smoker does not get as hot as the TEC grill burners. I would buy the gaskets designed for the TEC grill so you end up with a burned gasket after one use.

I just recently purchased an Old Country Brazos smoker and it leaks of course. My question is will this work on the cookong chamber and the firebox?

Answer: I used it on a brinkmann vertical two door smoker, firebox and cooking chamber, it worked great. Hope that helps

Answer: As long as there isn't any old seal in the way then yes. I recommend you get some grill clamps to clamp the lid down and get an even better seal

Willl this work on a Chargriller smoker and griller Model pro 29 and the smoler fire box?

Answer: Hi,

Has anyone put 2 pieces on top of each other for larger gaps?

Answer: I personally have not but if you're trying to fill in a gap, you're better off sealing with a high temperature epoxy. These things will eventually burn off and you will be back to square one. To make a good seal, I suggest the epoxy and then these pieces.

Answer: I have and it worked just fine for me. For thin gauge you can take sheet metal hammer and bend it a little to help close the gap a little tighter

Answer: I have thought about it due to one leak, but I don't want to warp it and cause another. Put a filler of rtv under the low spot, then apply seal strip on top.

dumb question but when installing does the tape go on the lid or on the body of the smoker

Answer: Not a dumb question at all, but I have always put it on the lid because then you know it is in the correct position to be lined up and effective. If it were out of line on the body, then you may have leaks.

Answer: Fire box can be on the body. Cook chamber on the lid for sanitary reasons.

Answer: I placed it on the body. it fits perfectly on lip of my Okla. Joe smoker..

Answer: Generally we prefer the lid to keep drippings off. but if there is a channel, you can also apply in there.

Answer: On the body, so the lid seals when closed

Answer: On the lid. If your cooker is used, clean it off the lip very well and end with rubbing it with alcohol. That will take off any oil that will prevent the adhesive from sticking. Apply the tape by just a bit at a time. Pull the paper off as you go. Do not stretch the fiber as you apply. Put the top back on the grill and let it sit 24 hrs. so the adhesive has time to set. You will be good to go.

Answer: I have a camp chef and installed it on the lid. My thought was the weight of the lid would help with seating the seal ovee time. I am sure both ways would work. Just make sure the surface is scrubbed clean. Good luck!

Answer: body of smocker

Answer: On the body

Why does the description say 14' and the pic says 15'? Which one is it?

Answer: it is 15 feet thanks!

Answer: Didn't notice

Will this work well with the char-broil simple smoker with smartchef technology thanks in advance

Answer: I would say yes. I am starting my second BBQ season since I sealed the cooking chamber door on my Oklahoma Joes Smoker and is working really well. Make sure where you are putting the seals, that it is as clean as you can get it.

Answer: I have no idea what a "Simple Smoker" is. I use it to stick to new aluminum and it sticks just fine.

Will this fit 36" vertical dyna glo smoker? Can I season before applying?

Answer: You can season before you apply gasket. Just clean the area the gasket will be attached. If your smoker requires a 1/2x1/8 gasket, this one will work.

Answer: Not sure about that smoker, I suppose it would, it's just a roll.. measure across the grill and multiply by 3.14 and see if it'll be long enough of a roll.. and would clean the area very well before sticking it in place.. seasoned or not. Just make sure it has a good clean area to adhere to

Answer: Make sure clean surface ,the one roll should fit.measure out fit your pieces,apply close,lock door let set .then season.makes .Good luck enjoy .

Answer: Yes it will fit. I'd suggest applying before seasoning, and fully degreasing application areas with paper towels and running alcohol. A bit of good prep will ensure the tape stays stuck ages longer than it otherwise would.

Answer: I'd measure how much you need then buy the appropriate amount of seal. I highly recommend sealing first then seasoning.

Answer: No reason why it wouldn't work. Need to clean really good so it will stick. Maybe rubbing alcohol.

Has anyone used this on the firebox lid? And is it flammable?

Answer: I have used it on the firebox lid. It is not flammable.

Answer: I am using it on an off set fire box and smoke chamber. Works great.

Answer: I have used it and so far so good.

Will this work with the Kamado Akorn?

Answer: This is a all around gasket that has many applications. I would imagine that it would seal the top and bottom of the Kamado.. If that is what you are after. I used it to seal the opening of a off set smoker... Worked great.

Answer: I do not have a Kamado Akron and have never seen one in use, so I have no idea if it would work or not

Answer: we have a better gasket for that. thanks BBQgaskets_online (Island Outdoor, LLC)

New grill/smoker. should rtv silicone be applied before attaching gasket? if not, what is rtv used for?

Answer: Hello, this is a self stick premium adhesive bbq gasket. rtv is not needed. Some of the LavaLock gaskets require rtv. You can use LavaLock rtv grill sealer to plug up holes, gaps and leaks as well

Answer: You don't have to use both of them. This has an adhesive that sticks to the grill. I have had mine around the door for over a year and it has never come off. I would only use the silicone around stuff you want to permanently seal. Use this product around areas you need to access again.

Answer: No Rtv is needed with this gasket as it is sticky backed. You need to clean the area good with something like mineral spirits before you attach it. The RTV is used if you are attaching a rope style gasket.

Answer: It can be applied if wanted but is not needed, gasket material is self adhesive and stays put very well.

Answer: We didn’t and it has held up great. The lid on our smoker wasn’t sealed fully, so we lined it around the opening.

Answer: The felt gasket has adhesive backing to stick to the door jam.

Is the adhesive backing strong enough or did anyone have to by a silicon, food grade adhesive also? This will be for a customer built steel smoker.

Answer: I installed the gasket on my brand new WSM, perfectly clean surfaces, and let it cure for 48+ hours before seasoning. The smoker has never gotten above 300 degrees and yet the adhesive failed after only three uses. I'm awaiting a response from the seller. Worst case scenario, I'll get high-temp silicone sealant to keep it in place, but I won't be buying this brand again.

Answer: I would use the type that needs the silicon adhesive. I used the type without, and it didn't hold up. It worked for two 6 hr. Smokes & peeled right up.

Answer: I used mine straight from the package, no additional adhesive. I did clean and sand to bare metal and wiped it down with alcohol as directed. I also let it "cure" for 24+ hours before using it. Since then, it has given me perfect service and not come loose in any fashion. I have had 6 or 7 cooks and as many smokes since installing it. I also keep it outside under a good quality cover on the pit. No problems at all!

Answer: No additional adhesive was needed, I've grilled 4 times since installing and the heat further seals the adhesive backing-- works great and allows you to smoke meat and control the heat significantly better.

Answer: My smoker is steel. The adhesive worked well, I did clean the surface really good prior to application

Answer: I think it's strong enough. Apply before you season it so it will have a nice, clean surface to adhere to. That will be an advantage for you.

Answer: Hello, this is LavaLock Brand, in other words, yes it won't fail! It exceeds every other gasket brand by over 400F higher. -BBQsmokerMods online, a division of Island Outdoor, LLC

Answer: No, it's not strong or thick enough.

Answer: 15 feet. I did two 22 inch lids and the rotisserie ring as well.

Answer: No Jeremy. I have had mind around the door of a Masterbuilt for 2 years now and doing well.

Should this be installed on the lids to the smoker and firebox or to the channel on the smoker/firebox?

Answer: I have a Weber Smokey Mountain smoker which does or seperate firebox with a channel. I would say that this product is designed to seal any gaps that may be leaking smoke around areas that open and close like a door or lid.

Answer: lid or body on the cook chamber. we recommend LavaLock firebox gaskets for the fire box thanks

Answer: To the firebox!!

What is the difference between gl-1/2 and ll-nl12? which one would be better for my wsm 22 door?

Answer: Per Lavalock - the LL-nl12 is their "BEST Quality", that model is 1' longer, but same height and width - Either should work out great for your door(make sure surface is spotless)

Answer: The GL is rated to 800 degrees. The ll-nl is “ultra” high temp. The GL should be fine but if the price is about the same, the ll wouldn’t hurt anything and good at a higher temp. It should work on your door just fine unless you have a huge gap, which would be even a bigger problem than any similar product could solve.

Does anyone have experience using this with the smoke hollow sc44 smoker cover for 44-inch smoker/grill

Answer: It's easy to use and works good . Recommend buying it.

will this work for Weber Original Kettle Grill (22.5 inch)?

Answer: Yes it will. I have a 26.75 and had plenty left over. If your unit is not brand new clean all of the crud off of the cover lip. Wipe it down with isopropyl alcohol so the is no residue. Apply it by pulling the paper stripo back a few inches at a time while being careful not the stretch it. Place the lid back on the weber and let it sit for at least 24 hours so the adhesive sets. If you are in a cold climate, I would bring the weber inside or someplace warm and then apply.

Answer: The size is correct but we have a material that is a little softer and works better for this application. Here is a link https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00TAJW0QE

Answer: i dont see why not....the adhesive is pretty strong and should stick to the inside of your lid, which I believe is rounded...obviously this product works better for a flat surface, but as I mentioned the adhesive backing is pretty strong, actually very strong. I would try it!

Answer: I used it on a brinkman vertical smoker that has two doors, there was enough to seal both doors and it's stayed on. it should be plenty to do what you want.

Will this work for the flat lid on a uds smoker or is there a better option?

Answer: This will work. if the lid isn't nice and flat try FireBlack 3/4 x 1/8, its a little softer so it helps with lids that aren't flat

Answer: I really didn't like it for my smoker after the first use my lid stuck closed and left fuzzys everywhere I would use wood stove door seal cord hope this helps

Answer: This will fit but there is a better option out there from the same sellers

What is the life expectancy of the seal and is it a pain to remove/replace?

Answer: Hi,

The picture shows 15 feet in the package and the description shows it is 14 feet. Which is it please?

Answer: I don’t know. There was enough for me to do what I needed to do.

can I stick a piece on top of a piece

Answer: Hi, You could -- BUT be we strongly recommend installing a piece OPPOSITE the original piece. We also make 1/4" thick. Thanks! -BBQgaskets_online a division of Island Outdoor, LLC

Answer: What kind of seal are you looking for? You could put a piece on one edge and another piece on the other edge. I don't think stacking them on top of each other will give you the right adhesion and wouldn't work well.

Can you use it on a regular Charcoal grill like charbroil?

Answer:

Answer: Yes - we used it in the firebox and the grill section. But make sure you clean the section you're going to out it in thoroughly or it will not stick. And it sticks better if you use high heat caulking.

Answer: Because there is an adhesive on one side, I would not get it in direct flames. It can handle 800F, which can be from gas or charcoal. Just make sure no direct flames attack the adhesive.

Answer: As long as it will not be in direct contact with the fire. Also the area you will be applying to must be flat and very clean so the adhesive sticks to the metal surface.

Will this work on my Camp Chef Woodwind?

Answer: It should work on your Camp Chef. Make sure before you put the Lavalock down that the area is clean or the Lavalock gasket will not stick.

Answer: Designed to seal the gap in the smoke chamber. Worked great on my Brinkman Offset - you want your firebox to get air so don't seal around it.

Answer: Don’t know if it will work or not, I used it on a custom built pig cooker and it all came off when I cooked the first pig ????

Answer: I don’t see it wouldn’t - just to seal things better

How many would i need to order to do a Traeger 34?

Answer: I don’t know the length of the parts you want to cover. The package has 15 feet of gasket material. Measure the lengths you need to cover and see if 15 feet is enough.

Answer: just one! :)

Answer: Just 1.

Where is the best place to install, door or smoker chamber frame for door.

Answer: I have always seen and assumed the outside edge of the door is better than framing the inside. Both will give equal results, but framed on the exterior allows a bigger opening for the smoking chamber.

Answer: Depends on the smoker (flanges etc) , I like to do it on the lid/door

Answer: I got good results from putting the product on the chamber door about 1/3 of an inch from the outer edge. I looked at the door and how it met the chamber, looking for where it wasn't touching very well. I put it on the door as opposed to the barrel directly because I felt the heat would be less on the door and make the gasket last longer. I have not used it on the fire box door.

Answer: I installed on the perimeter of my lid for my Treager.

Answer: I put mine on the doors. I thought it would look nicer and less chance of disturbing it loading and unloading the grill. It has worked well.

What is the difference between this and the other one you sell for $5 more? Specs seem the same

Answer: Probably prime eligible vs not. Sellers are getting smart and just building shipping into their "free shipping" price

Is this made in usa? what is country of origin?

Answer: Yes, All LavaLock gaskets are made in USA

Answer: not for sure but think it is us made. It ships from somewhere in the US and gets here quick. Got mine in 2016 and it is still doing the job.

Will it work where firebox is connected?

Answer: It’s working great where the fire box connects to the smoker box. I also used some gasket glue. That made the instillation easier.

Answer: Don't know. I used it to replace the old, worn out gasket around the oven door of an old gas stove. It works great... keeps the hot air in the oven. Good luck with your project.

Answer: the best option for that is amazon part # B00KN1GNRK

Answer: I used it to seal the door of the fire box and so far it is holding up

Answer: Yes

Has anybody tried this on the Weber Smokey Mountain 22 inch?

Answer: Yes, but we do have a kit specific for that smoker, which is better. thanks! -BBQgaskets_online

Answer: I've had it on my Oklahoma Joe's offset smoker through several smokes. Lasting good on the cooking chamber but didn't last on the fire box.

what type of de-greaseder and alcohol did you use to clean before applying it? name?

Answer: My smoker was nearly new. It had only been use two times. I still use a solution if mild Dawn and water.

Answer: Wire brush on drill then acetone

Answer: I've forwarded your question to my husband. He's the one that used it.

What would you recommend for gmg pellet smoker?

Answer: Sealed the smoke chamber in my Brinkmann Offset. I would assume it would work well in other types of smokers

Answer: LavaLock will work, but FireBlack 34 is best. the amazon sku is B015DAI8K0

Product reviews of 1/2" x 1/8" Lavalock High Temp Nomex BBQ HT gasket smoker seal, self stick grey

Justin K. : Bad batch of adhesive - don't buy in 2020

If you sort reviews by date, you'll see that this product gets good reviews until 2020 when suddenly it gets a ton of complaints about the adhesive being dried out and not sticking. Looks like they got a bad batch of adhesive and are still selling it. I ordered mine in Sept 2020 and sure enough, it doesn't stick at all. Literally, it's not even slightly sticky - just falls off as soon as you put it in place. I'm sure that's not how the product normally works, but I wouldn't take a chance on it until they've resolved their quality control issue.

Steven : does what you expect

I use it on the Traeger Ironwood, it gives a more premium feel (on a pellet grill that is so expensive, I shouldn't NEED to get a gasket). It does a good job of directing the smoke and heat through the proper vents. Didn't notice any significant change in the ability to maintain temperature, but overall i'm pleased with it. The adhesive backing hasn't failed, and it seals incredibly well.

Raul C. : Very durable!

This is the second time I purchase this product. It has been over three years and the gasket is still holding up. Great product, especially for smokers that may be leaking from the lid.

Jackzap7 : Perfect Solution

This product worked very well on its application, sealing an oven door that had lost its rubber seal. I would buy it again for similar uses - a good purchase.

RobG : Works as expected

There are some bad reviews claiming that the glue strip has very poor adhesion. Mine is holding just fine. Remember, the surface has to be very clean in order for glue to stick. Use alcohol or windex.

JW : What a difference it makes when your smoke is not leaking out like the lid was open

This stuff if a difference maker. I noticed that a lot of the most high quality rigs use it. So I did too. WOW! What a difference it makes when your smoke is not leaking out like the lid was open! I gave it a shot and you should too.

J.J : Great Product

Great product. Nothing wrong with extra padding and sealed my smoker nice and tight. I’d defiantly buy this again

HappyH : Works great on the recteq rt590!

I installed this on my recteq rt590. Works great!

madspeed : Must have for you Master Built smoker

Purchased this nomex gasket to better seal the doors on my Master Built Propane smoker. This is a must have in order to make your smoker perform the way is should. Wish Master Built would include this with their smokers. Hint to the manufacturer, please contact Master Built and sell directly to them!!

Few installation tips.... Clean application area with degreaser then rubbing alcohol prior to installing to remove any leftover grease, dirt, etc. After installing, close and latch smoker doors for at least 12 hours. This will keep pressure applied to the adhesive to help ensure a good seal.

Pros:
Cheap
Effective
Easy to apply
Easy to trim to fit

Cons:
Must keep pressure applied after initial installation to get good seal

GB : Would love to be sponsored!

Use it with the high heat sealant and you will see insane results immediately. I use my smoker at my shop every day and have replaced it once in the last 5 months

buzzy : Non stick

First order I got worked great second one I got adhesive wasnt there as it wouldnt stick to anything had to use gorilla glue

Chevyman : Great seal!

Easy to apply. Made all the difference in controlling the air (and heat) with my side box smoker. It could have been a little thicker in a couple spots for a complete seal, but still works well.

djdevall : Excellent fit and easy to install

Easy to install after I cleaned the edge. Used the smoker several times and it keeps the heat/smoke in perfectly. Still stuck to the edge and no peeling!

Amazon Customer : Must have the surface very clean.

This works great for sealing the fire box on my offset smoker. I used a strong degreaser and steel wool before applying.

sara r. : So far so good!

As another reviewer has done and stated, I had to unscrew the hinges on my ZGrill 700D and place some extra washers to accommodate the gasket which was very easy! . Fits and works very well! So far so good and haven’t experienced any sticking or peeling yet will update again in about a month or so!

HappyH : Works great on the recteq rt590!

I installed this on my recteq rt590. Works great!

GB : Would love to be sponsored!

Use it with the high heat sealant and you will see insane results immediately. I use my smoker at my shop every day and have replaced it once in the last 5 months

madspeed : Must have for you Master Built smoker

nickb22 : Self adhesive is terrible.

Is this a joke? I installed this on a brand new bbq, never used and it’s not sticking. Left it on for 24 hours. Scotch tape is stronger than this.
What do I do now?

M. Davis : Not to sure

Went on smoker easily but peeled off after first use

ryan : Perfect for charcoal grill

Works great, easy to cut and apply, backing paper kind of hard to get loose at times.

Jose R. Groene : It works

There is alot of high heat gaskets to choose from, but I think I got it right. The reviews for the most part are accurate. So let me confirm. I used degreaser and then rubbing alcohol, i cut the gasket with scissors and then sticking it around the lid. I had to shim the hinges so the lid would close probably and 24 hours later the weight of the lid conformed the gasket to the shape of the frame. I have cooked on it 8 times and in no way is the gasket coming off. I think it will be on there permanently. If one day I have replace it , I’m going to have to scrape it off. Conservatively it is holds in about 90% of the smoke. The smoke rings and flavors of the ribs and brisket flat are awesome. See pics. Pork shoulder have also come out great. BTW the smoker in the pics is a brand new camp chef Dlx 24 w/PDI controller. Super happy with the results. Who says you can’t get a good smoke ring and flavor from a pellet smoker. Highly recommend to put on this gasket on your smoker as long as you take time and install it properly, shim the lid and let the gasket settle and conform to the frame.

John Schilling : Great - but hard to get started.

Hard to peel the backing off of the felt. I damaged several spots while trying to peel the backing off. There was plenty of excess so I didn't have issues, but be aware you could lose 1-2" of this everytime you begin a new peel. Once I had it installed it works quite well. Seals the smoker lid up really nice.

Esther Madrigal : Awesome product

Arrived almost immediately after ordering via standard shipping. Product worked as advertised and very easy to apply. They provided enough gasket 15 feet to do the upper rim of a 18.5 Weber Smokey Mountain Bullet and around access door plus the lid for a OneTouch Gold Performer with another 12 inches to spare. I should have bought this product when I originally purchased the smoker and BBQ grill. Highly recommend!

Eric, Michigan : Not Suited for a Weber Smokey Mountain

Looks like a high quality BBQ gasket, the adhesive seems to stick well. I applied this to a brand new WSM smoker. The seal between the upper lid and the middle section went fine. But the design of the WSM interface between the middle section and the bottom coal pan does not lend itself to applying this seal in a manner that it both seals and fits together. I got frustrated and removed the seal which is when I found out how good the adhessive is. It appears to me that this is a good product just not suited for my WSM. I will just live with the leaks. For the most part I don't expect to many leaks, the WSM smoke surprisingly fits pretty tight between the sections. Bottom line the middle section of my smokey mountain fits so tight to the bottom that there is no room for this seal and hence the two sections would not go together, meaning it won't leak to bad and the seal is not needed. I am sure there are many situations where this gasket made a huge difference on a BBQ or other smoker design.

Derek Black : sealed right up

Went on easy and seals the door perfectly on my Ironwood 885. Keeps the temp more consistent and stops all door smoke.

Hammer : Seal worked well

This product worked well to seal my smoker, it sticks really well, all you have to do is follow the instructions don't be in a hurry and let sit after you install it, I let my sit for a couple of days before i opened the door. Very little smoke escapes with this seal.

James R. : Easy to use

Used on my Weber Smokey mountain smoker to seal the door and lid. Very easy to apply and works as advertised. Reduced the amount of smoke loss and helps maintain temperature.

TLC13 : Good so far

So far so good. Used it on my Z grill cover to totally eliminate smoke sipping out of the cover. Working fine. Have smoked 5 times after applying this gasket and no problems.

Cowboot : Perfect For My Use

Used this to button up some leaky areas along my new Oklahoma Joe Rambler smoker/grill. Cut maybe 1/4" shorter than what I measured, as it stretches just a bit during application - worked like a charm ! I've been smoking meat for about 40 years, and I do this with every grill I break in - works as designed, easy to apply, seals nicely. Buy with confidence.

Cowboot : Perfect For My Use

Cameron : Sealed up my Traeger Pro 22

Purchased as an upgrade to my Pro 22. As others recommended I made sure to clean the lid before install, and have had no issues with peeling or adhesion. No smoke is escaping from the lid, it closes a lot more softly, and along with ceramic briquettes it is helping to keep the temps a lot more consistent over the last 10 cooks.

GB : Would love to be sponsored!

Use it with the high heat sealant and you will see insane results immediately. I use my smoker at my shop every day and have replaced it once in the last 5 months

Amazon Customer : Must have the surface very clean.

This works great for sealing the fire box on my offset smoker. I used a strong degreaser and steel wool before applying.

77petals : Love it.

It works perfectly. It’s been on for months, in south Louisiana, with lots of usage, and has not begun to come off. I have an old smoker. I cleaned the door with soap and water, then cleaned it with 90% rubbing alcohol before applying.

Avid shopper : Great addition to any bbq smoker

I am using these on my pellet smoker around the lid edges. They are working excellent for this. Before applying, I’d have smoke escaping around the top of the lid where it hinges to the main unit. After attaching this to the entire inside lip of the lid, no escaped smoke!

Phil : Poor adhesive

The backing was extremely difficult to peel off and then when I finally did it, the product had very poor adhesion to the grill door of my Yoder smoker. I spent quite a bit of time preparing the surface, using a degreaser, clean cloth and then thoroughly dried the surface. Yet the adhesive had almost no tack when attaching to the door. It's possible I had a defective roll, but it was certainly unusable and I returned it.

Typical Consumer : Works great on Masterbuilt Smoker!

I installed this Lavalock High Temp Nomex gasket on a duel fuel Masterbuilt smoker. I believe my smoker is referred to as the 30" model. Reviews of the smoker say that installing a gasket turns the smoker from a good to a great system and I have to agree.

I hesitated ordering this due to some of the negative reviews. Some customers are having issues with the gasket coming off even though they thoroughly cleaned, de-greased, and wiped the mounting surface with alcohol.

I took a chance and ordered and am glad to say that I have not had this issue. In hindsight, I would have installed this prior to using my smoker but didn't know I would have issues with the smoker leaking.

The included directions were good and clear on using a degreaser and alcohol and waiting at least 24 hours prior to using. I used a citrus (orange) based degreaser from Home Depot to initially clean the surface and then wiped it down with alcohol. I then adjusted the latches on the smoker so it fit snugly but not too tight to crush the gasket and waited 2 days before using it. I attached a photo of how it fit and looks on my smoker.

On first use, the gasket greatly reduced and almost eliminated smoke escaping between the door and smoker. Instead of a steady stream of smoke escaping, I can barely see a faint wisp between the door and smoker from the hinge side of the door. I don't think tightening the latches further will help and I'm happy with how its working. I've used it twice so far for several hours with no evidence of it coming off.

Overall, for the price, quality, and fit, I would highly recommend this product. It fit perfectly and works as designed. If anything changes, I will update this review.

Scott : Must have for any serious smoker user

I installed this seal on my Oklahoma Joe's Highland grill.
1. Between the firebox halves
2. Between the firebox and the cook chamber (I split the seal down the center to make it easier to curve around the opening)
It works GREAT!! Highly recommend

fpettit27 : Works great, but it is a consumable item.

Bought the gasket in May of 2020 and after many smoking and grilling sessions, it has started to distort. Now in February 2021, it is no longer useable. The gap between the gasket and lid shown in the picture is from the gasket shrinking. Luckily there is enough material to do two applications. I went ahead ordered another gasket to keep for later because it really does work well when there is a good seal.

Mike S. : Perfect for my vertical Masterbuilt Thermatemp Smoker! Keeps smoke in and RAIN OUT!

This is exactly what i wanted to ensure a tight seal around my doors. The bonus for me is that this gasket keeps the rain out if it starts to rain mid-smoke. My last smoker kept getting wet inside when this would happen and it eventually let to a lot of rusting of the inside. I didn't think about it but this is a definite (and unexpected) benefit of this type of gasket. I would definitely recommend this product!

77petals : Love it.

Keith : /2" x 1/8" Lavalock High Temp Nomex BBQ HT gasket

/2" x 1/8" Lavalock High Temp Nomex BBQ HT gasket, would buy again

Erik : Make sure it’s clean first

This does the job! It holds the smoke in my smoker box perfectly and as advertised. However, do make sure you thoroughly clean the areas that it sticks to, and the area of the grill the touches the fabric. I did not do this and how to replace sections. The first time I lifted my grill cover all the fabric was stuck to the lid from grease build up. I had to go back, remove the stripes, scrape and clean the area, now it’s perfect.

William Allison : U will need 2 packages for a regular kamado joe

You will need a two pack for a kamado joe regular. Great product. Just got finished putting one pack one, ran out about 3/4 of way during the install. Just thought I would let others know.

Cathy Hall : Works as advertised.

I used this on a Weber Smokey Mountain 18". Some smoke was escaping around the door and top lid. I cleaned the door and ran the casket around the top and both sides of the door, on the door itself. Also applied gasket on the top lip of the smoker, where the lid sits. Just the right width no triming needed. Adhered great. Now the only smoke escaping is from the vents on top of smoke just like it is supposed to. Great product.
