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

Is this the right product for my Weber Kettle? Also should it be adhered to the lid or to the base kettle?

Answer: Hi,

Answer: I would install to the lid as that is where the flange part of the kettle is.

Can i use this on my fire box as well?

Answer: No, the firebox gets too hot. The adhesive hardens and flakes off. This is good for the cook chamber.

Answer: I would say yes. I would also say to follow directions from the manufacturer and be sure it is clean and at least room temperature when you install this. Seemed to lower the leaks in my WSM although not completely eliminate it. Realistic expectations required.

I have a camp chef smoker - will this gasket work well around the door?

Answer: It should. You might want to measure door width. Gasket works pretty good to hold in smoke. Give it a try.

Answer: I'm not familiar with your grill but it should work with any grill. I used it on my Pit Boss Classic and have enough left to do another one. As long as your grill has a flat 1/2" surface to stick it to. I did the lid.

Answer: I used it to seal the door of my smoke hollow and it works fine.

Answer: I don't have that type of smoker worked on my treager, and my vertical smoker

Answer: I used it for a Camp Chef Smoke Vault, and it worked great.

Answer: I would imagine so. I used this on a barrel smoker with great results.

Answer: It worked for me!

Is this gasket made of fiberglass?

Answer: No this is a high temp felt material. It is designed for cook chambers and doesn't shed a lot like fiberglass can. Its also self sanitizes at temp!

Answer: I dont believe so. Its a very thin spongy roll that you would use to plug up holes around a window ac unit. The one thing I do know is put it on from the very get go. Dont wait and put it on after 1 or 2 smokes. It did not stick at all.

Good for traeger 575?

Answer: Should be good on any smoker. est mod ever made.

Even though my Smokey Hollow did not come with a gasket can I put this around the door to stop the smoke from coming out?

Answer: Yes, I did it with my Oklahoma Joe, and it works great. Just dont use it on a firebox, it's not good for very high temps.

Answer: YES FireBlack® is the way to go for that smoker.

Answer: That's what I did with my Oklahoma Joe and Traeger Smokers... Works Great

Answer: Yes. It sealed my GMG pellet smoker very well.

Answer: Yes it works great, my only regret is my smoker should have had this installed at the time I put it together.

Answer: I'm doing the exact same thing. Also sealing the joint where the firebox attaches to the grill body

Answer: I don't know about your model but I've used it on my grill and smoker with good results

What is the longest (meters) lavalock available? Do u support international shipping? What is the highest temperature can it with stand.

Answer: With Quantity we can make anything.. The standard roll is approx. 5 meters. We do ship internationally to most countries. temp depends on the material. range is around 6-800 constant cook chamber temps up to 2300F excursions.

Wanting to put this on a traeger lil tex. is this wide enough and will it stick to a 4 year old lid that has been cleaned up?

Answer: the width is 1/2 inch so if you have that much space or more, your good. as long as the surface is clean it should

whats the max temp this stuff can handle?

Answer: Hi,

Answer: All I know is it is designed for high heat. I used it to seal the lid on my smoker grill and I have been over 600 degrees several times and it looks like it did the day I put it on .

Answer: I THINK IT IS AROUND 500 DEGREES

Is the self adhesive rated at these temps as well? i'm looking to put on the firebox lid of an oj highland offset, not sure if i should use high temp

Answer: I have used my tape with no problems. My smoker temps anywhere from 150 to 300 degrees. Should be no problem.

Answer: I used it on the opening to my pellet grill and have had temps as high as 550 the tape has held up well

Answer: This stuff is 100% junk! I bought 2 rolls. I had to replace it in 2 burns. Do NOT buy this crap!!!!!

Answer: it will hold up. i put it on my offset fire box. works way better than the braided stuff

Answer: It works fine on my Traeger Smoker and Oklahoma Joe's Smoker/Fire Box

Will this fit the hood & bottom on a char-griller smoking champ?

Answer: Hey Carlos There was enough to do both. I only did the hood. Thats one of a few mistakes I have made jumping into the smoking meat party. Another thing I didnt know was you need a heat shield to work property. The model I bought did not come with one so I fashioned one out of aluminum flashing and wow what a difference!

Can we see a copy of the instructions? Mine got torn up.

Answer: I do not have the instructions 2 things Put it on before you use the smoker and put it on lid

Answer: I'm not even sure if mine came with instructions. Just peel and stick. Make sure whatever your sticking it to is clean. Use scissors to cut to length.

Answer: I don't have mine, but it is pretty easy to explain. I'm assuming this is going on a BBQ or smoker. I used this on a Recteq 700. Make sure the lid is fairly clean, use a degreaser to remove any heavy build up. Let it dry for a few hours. Install the seal on the inside edges of your lid. You can cut pieces to size, pull off the backing and press it on. Close the lid and let the stuff sit for 24 hours before you do any cooking, making sure to avoid any rainy or very damp days to do the project. After that you are good to go.

Answer: It’s self stick. Peel the back of the strip and press o to the grill where you want it.

Answer:

Answer: If you zoom in I think you can read it it's very simple. Take the old one off and clean the surface with a food-safe grease remover then apply the new one

What is it made out of? Silicone or felt

Answer: felt. we also sell silicon bbq gaskets under the LavaLock brand

Answer: It is a heat resistant felt, made to be used as a smoker gasket.

Answer: Definitely felt. Holds up very well. This is the second season with this product in use with my two smokers. No sign of the felt detaching,seal is great and allows the thermal cables to not be pinched by the door.

Answer: It looks like A felt type Material...

Answer: It is made from a felt like material.

Answer: Feels like felt.

In the directions it says wait 12-24 hrs after application before you heat it. Has anyone not waited 12 hrs and still had good results?

Answer: the adhesive is pressure activated, so the 12-24 hours allow the adhesive to adhere properly

Answer: I never even saw that 12 to 24 hours. I used my pellet grill probably just a couple hours after I installed it. It's been on for a year now and no problems at all

Answer: I waited for the time they recommend, the gasket needs to seat properly before it’s exposed heat. Just apply and shut the lids or wherever it was applied so it stays put. You can probably fudge a few hours if you’re really antsy.

Answer: I didnt read the directions but installed it the day before I used it

How long is product?

Answer: Approx 15 feet, I bought 2 rolls and had lots left over,my smoker is a cowboy 3 chamber . You defiantly need this tape!! Clean the surface thoroughly don't apply to the door! Apply to the stationary surface.dont over stretch it! This is a great product.

Answer: 15 ft long. Have to cut to whatever size you need

Answer: 15 feet

Can this be used to line the seam between the firebox and the smoking chamber on a side smoker?

Answer:

Answer: Should work, we used it on the lid of our smoker for a better seal, and it worked great. Very durable product.

Answer: I USED THE PRODUCT FOR MAKING A BETTER SEAL AROUND THE LID OF THE FIRE BOX AND AROUND THE SMOKER GRILL LID,HOWEVER I USED RED HIGH TEMP RTV SILICONE SEALANT BETWEEN THE FIRE BOX AND SMOKER WITH NO TROUBLE FOR A GOOD SEAL.HOPE THIS WAS HELPFUL.

Answer: Don't waste your money on this product. It burns off, even in the lowest temperature area of your smoker. I tried it and it's junk. I ended up going to tractor supply and buying non-fiberglass gasket for a wood stove. Buy the smallest gasket that they have and you're going to be pleased. It may cost a little bit more, but it's there for the duration of your smoker!

Answer: Yes, thats what i used it for.

Answer: I don't see why it couldn't. It can be trimmed with a pair of scissors; and then placed where you need it. As long as you can see where to put it; and if it sticks and stays where you put it -- then it should do what you want.

Answer: I don't see why not...

Answer: Yes

Is this the right gasket for a Weber Smokey Mountian?

Answer: This gasket will fit any smoker, it's heat resistant adhesive tape. Works pretty good to hold in more smoke and heat.

Answer: First, I'd hesitate to say it's perfect for everything. However. If you have a lot of smoke coming out of a closure (door, lid, whatever), this stuff in is going to make that stop. Permanently. Note that my vertical smoker has latches that assist in the seal, but that was part of the magic.

Answer: Should work across the board. It’s just a tape that you unroll and adhere to the frame of the under side of the lid to create a better seal and lose less smoke.

Answer: This is a standard high heat adhesive felt sealer and should work on any unit where the lid overlaps the grill. I use it on a Traeger smoker and works fantastic. Now the smoke exits the stack and not around the lid

Answer: It should work fine. The roll can be cut to various lengths

Can I put this in a gas door oven stove

Answer: This may not hold up under the heat in an oven or stove. If the original gasket was a similar material it should be OK.

Answer: I don’t know any reason you shouldn’t.

Will 1 roll be enough to seal each layer of the Weber 18.5 smoker?

Answer: YEs it will! thanks

Is this necessary or optional?

Answer: Its optional but if you want your smoker sealed well, this works great.

Answer: Optional. It just keeps the smoke from going out the doors

Answer: Yes to both. Depending on how much smoke actually escapes your smoker while the lid is closed, this may be a good option. If you don’t really see any of your smoke escaping with the lid down it’s probably unnecessary. If you do have smoke making it’s way out, this will help seal the lid so you get a better smoke, and deeper flavors on the meats/dishes you’re smoking.

Answer: Optional, I did it because I live in ND and I was trying to keep some heat in.

Answer: Well It is helpful Problem is 1st, make sure you put it on BEFORE you ever fire up smoker. I forgot and didnt put it on until my second time using the smoker and it never really stuck the way it should have. 2nd, it didnt really totally prevent smoke from coming out. I use a bungee cord with a bucket of golf balls for extra weight to keep it fairly sealed. Problem now as i have used the smoker 10+ times is this seal is melting and running down the front of smoker and bucket. So I dont want to tell you yes but I would. It just wont seal it totally

Answer: Its not required but it is nice to have to help create a better seal around the door of the smoker.

Answer: I would install the tape, helps seal in the smoke and manage heat better.

What is the cleaning procedure to get this to adhere? Recommended cleaning method?

Answer: I cleaned with a wire brush, scotch-brite and dawn dishsoap, then rinsed thoroughly and made sure it was 100% dry before I applied the seal. Worked great.

Answer: As long as it is grease fee you are good.

What is the difference between fireblack125 & fireblack hi temp?

Answer: Hi.. FireBlack is offered in different sizes. Each listing differs in size.

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

Jumper : Once you open the package

Once you open the package, You might as well find a use for all of it. I bought this in January 2020. Used about half of it on my smoker and put the remainder back in the original packaging and stored it in a dry cabinet.
Fast forward to January 2021. The gasket has worn out on the smoker and needs to be replaced. No surprise there considering how much I use the smoker. So I removed the old gasket and pulled the new gasket material out of the cabinet. It seems to still be in the original condition except for one thing. It's impossible to remove the backing.

STANLEY DREWERY : Heat sealant tape

Make sure the surface is clean when applying. Item does not hold up, melts from the heat. Next time I will buy wider and ticker material.

Wayne : good seal

I have an upright smoker that leaked around the door and this solved the problem. The adhesive works well and it has eliminated the leaks.

jeffrey silva : Works perfectly if you know how to use it

Worked perfectly. However you must degrease the area if grill is used if not only rub area good with alcohol and I highly suggest buying 3M adhesion promoter, they sell it in 3-5 pack you only need a little. Anyways you don’t have to make square cuts to make turn you just need 3M stuff and it will stick like no tomorrow plus what you don’t use you can save and it’s safe on any surface.

Customer : Not for medium temps or hotter!

I ordered two 15 ft rolls to seal a barrel smoker. I cleaned all areas that would have the gasket material applied. It went on easily, sealed the seams quite well, and fell off halfway into its first use. The temperature of the smoker section was around 225 degrees. Of course the firebox was hotter, but by no means what I would describe as HOT. I ordered another brand of gasket, and as soon as it arrives I will pull what Fireblack gasket remained in place off of my smoker.

Jean Sparks : Decent product, Not thrilled with the self stick glue itself

Added this to both the smoke chamber and the burn chamber doors on my propane smoker. Gasket material is almost foam like, but seems like it'll hold up enough for my needs. I doubt it would hold up the to the rated temp but for what I need, it should last.

michael willoughby : great product

got product in followed direction installed on smoker door used smoker next day product worked as needed rechecked after use and clean up still holding strong would recomend to anyone

Josh Carroll : Not durable

Junk. Looked good going on. But started coming apart almost immediately. After opening the smoker door noticed the material coming apart. Ended up removing it all from the lid of my smoker. I guess I’ll look for another product.

C_more : Great buy!

My smoker after this tape is holding temp better and using less pellets.

THS : Good high temp

Work's like it says

Jay Vee : Super sticky

Used around the lid of a new weber grill. Super sticky, if you rush the install and get off course, as long as you didn't push it down hard it can be pulled up and redone. If you press it a bit and try to reposition, it ain't gonna happen. You'll rip it and get stuck having to scrape the adhesive up or just re-stick over it.

All-in-all it's a fine product that works as intended. Depending on usage you may have extra for use on something else. I got about a quarter of thr roll left over.

Ryan : It helps

I bought this to help seal my electric smoker and my charcoal grill. It's a little bit of a pain to get the backing off of the strip and once you do it doesn't want to adhere that great. I found that once I applied it and heated the area up it finally stuck with no problems. It has helped keep the temp consistent in my smoker and also kept more smoke in. The same goes for using it with my charcoal barrel grill. No major complaints or problems with it...

RandomRoosterJD : Sealed the smoker door nicely

Lined new smoker door and there is virtually no smoke leaking. Maintains heat much better.

C_more : Great buy!

My smoker after this tape is holding temp better and using less pellets.

Rich Holland : Works great!

Works as intended. Just clean the area you're applying to with alcohol first, peel the backing and stick it on. Keeps the smoke from coming out of the front doors of my smoker and the black foam material blends right into the unit like it was meant to be there.

Surfer Joe : Very Helpful

I used this product to seal the lid and side smokebox door on a Recteq RT700. It works very well. I now have zero smoke coming from these locations and more coming out the smoke stack and grease drip, where it should be.

This product is cheap and easy to apply. Note the directions for good results. Clean the surface well, wait 24 hours with door and lid closed before next smoke. Don't rush it. The smoke level absolutely improved.

Robert Ackerman : Worked great

Not bad but it didn't not like the hot temps on my pellet grill. This product will work great for temps below 400 degrees Fahrenheit. But definitely stay below 500 plus. I cleaned my grill well before putting this on. Cleaned the grime off first and then used some rubbing alcohol to clean the area off of any grease residue. Applied and 45 degree cut the corners . Went on great but keep the heat on pellet grills or smokers to the lower side of 400F

Jared S. : I bought this to seal the door of my master ...

I bought this to seal the door of my master built vertical propane smoker. Worked perfectly. No more smoke leaking from the door. Now I can actually use the vent in back to control air flow.

Timothy : Keep the smoke in.

Insulate your smoker quickly and easily with this tape.

Frank N : Gets the job done

Installed this around the door edges of my new RecTeq 590 pellet smoker. Easy to unroll, cut, measure, and install. Adhesive seems like it’s more than strong enough. I immediately noticed that it completely sealed the gap around the door and prevents visible smoke from escaping. Most of my smoking is between 225 and 275 degrees, but I’ve done some cooks as high as 400, and the adhesive seems to be holding up just fine.

Jean Sparks : Decent product, Not thrilled with the self stick glue itself

Rich Holland : Works great!

Joe T : Awesome

Stick excellent...seals my smoker like a champ

Herb Friedrichs : Not for a smoker

This was no good for my smoker as some pieces are falling off.

Rolo : Fire black on my old country bbq pits wrangler 2

Not bad at all this stuff works. Got me a old country pits wrangler 2 and had a couple of leaks on my cooking chamber and fire box. Glue all doors on my pit and worked not except to handle the fire box for a long time but at long as it seals my cooking chamber I’m happy

Amazon Customer : Great

Love it seals nice

Daniel J Marvin : Seals Well!

Added this seal to the top of my 22 WSM and it worked great. No leaks after about a dozen or so cooks.

sherman : works great

does what it is supposed to do

xlenske : Very thick

This gasket is very thick. I literally took a stone and place it on top of my grill while smoking a brisket, so I ended up buying latch locks. Brisket came out great none was left and no smoke left the chamber with the stone layered on it. lol... I have a Oklahoma Joe so the steel is very thin, so the door of the grill doesn't have the weight to forced the seal needed.

Customer : Not for medium temps or hotter!

KRedd : Works great on my smokers

Used to seal my wsm and lid on my home built large offset smoker. Worked as expected, good seal

Jumper : Once you open the package

Amazon Customer : Get it

Surprised how well this fixed my smoke leaks. Will be buying more because I plan on using it on my weber kettle lids next.

Nathan : Did the trick.

Worked well for sealing the door on my traeger. It could be a little stickier, but after using the grill a few times it hasn’t come off at all.

mustang Lee : Keeps the smoke in for better smoke flavor

The peel stick backing makes this very easy to use. I did my Pit Boss Clasic and probably have enough left to do one or two more grills.

Jared S. : I bought this to seal the door of my master ...

I bought this to seal the door of my master built vertical propane smoker. Worked perfectly. No more smoke leaking from the door. Now I can actually use the vent in back to control air flow.

Amazon Customer : Good product

Excellent for home made smoker seals lid great no smoke escapes

Clarissa Cordova : An amazing gasket!

This gasket is amazing! My electric smoker would leak from the edge close to the hinge. After adding the gasket no more smoke except from the vent on the back.
Install was easy. I followed the directions on the bag I use a green scouring pad with simple green let it dry then cleaned it with alcohol and it stuck right away with out coming back off.
All in all it is totally worth the money I only ended up using about half ot the roll so I will probably understand up using the rest on the weber kettle!

CosmicRay : Easy Install

The installation was a breeze. I'll return later with an update after I use my smoker. BTW, the delivery was fast and efficientcient!

Chip : Really Handy Item

Works good

Amazon Junkie : Stuck well, sealed the smoker door

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.

John : It works really well Just takes practice to control the heat

I smoked a pork loin and a chicken my first time out. Both were delicious as I hoped for. Just takes practice. The only complaint I have is within a matter of the 1st hour, some paint was bubbling and will be peeling off. No big deal just felt quite early for that.

Customer : Not for medium temps or hotter!

Joehorse : Doesn’t have the tough, rugged look I thought it would be for a pellet grill.

This seal seems a little on the fragile side. Just not the tough looking seal but maintains it’s purpose. Time will tell so stay tuned.

Orlando Cerda : Works as intended

It really does keep the smokers from releasing smoke from the door frame. It's very easy to use and the self sticking wasn't a problem at all. In fact, I used the remaining 3 ft to seal a door frame that had a thin opening. So it has other uses besides what it was intended for.

S to the H : This product really helped tighten up my WSM!

So far this gasket does what it advertises. With the 22" WSM I was able to apply the gasket to the lip where the dome lid rests and also apply it twice to the body where the door rests with some material left over.

It was a real PITA to clean up the body to adhere the gasket, but that's not any fault of the product. I did this as best I could and it seemed to adhere very securely and it wasn't really a challenge to apply it effectively.

My first smoke session after installing the gasket really impressed me. No more smoke leaking out all over the place and controlling the temps was MUCH easier. No longer having a hard time keeping the temp under 250 when desired due to excess air being pulled in.

My only concern is if/when the gaskets need to be replaced, it will be a real challenge getting the old ones off. Aside from that (which is yet to be seen), I'd happily purchase this again.

Rolo : Fire black on my old country bbq pits wrangler 2

Steven Torok : Good smoker accessory

Worked great for my pecos smoker. Have cooked many times or 10+ hrs hasnt peeled up

CKP : Fireblack 125

Went on easy. Will see if it works as described. I sure it will didn't see any light come out, put light inside grill to see if I could see light.

Bill Brown : Great product.

This was easy to use. We put this around the doors on the Dyna-Glo offset smoker. It sealed the doors where needed. We recommend!
