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

Josh : Seals everything up nice and tight!

Works perfectly and now there is no smoke escaping from the lid. Does exactly what it is supposed to do. I am really glad that I put this on my pellet grill. It helps keep the smoke and heat going through the chimney. I am not sure why these expensive pellet grills don’t come with this, but you will be glad you put it on.

tswing : Outstanding product

Prior to using this, smoked exited the smoker all over the place. Once installed, smoke was only released from the stack. I even used it around the temperature probe hole in place of the rubber grommet that broke after about 2 uses. Also over the top portion of the grease tube. Much better heat control. A must have improvement to your smoker.

Josh : Seals everything up nice and tight!

Matthew M. : Still holding up well after several uses

This gasket makes the door seal up tighter to keep the heat and smoke in. Makes my smoker more efficient.

Joe : Excellent stuff

Put together my new smoker and used a roll and a half of this stuff. It's sealed up tight, minimal smoke leakage and seals out airflow making your vents and flumes much more effective. A must have for anyone who wants their smoker or grill to be more efficient and retain smoke.

NawfEast Playa : Glue does not hold!

It worked good kept smoke frome leaking out BUT IT ONLY LASTED LIKE 2 USES THEN THE ADHESIVE GLUE GAVE OUT AND STARTED FALLING OFF

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.

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.

Cefwa : Works as advertised if properly applied.

Added this to the doors of my Smoke Hollow smoker. I still have a few small leaks I blame those on the construction of my cheap smoker. At least a 90% improvement over the way it was.
It holds temp at noticeably lower settings, ant the temp is more stable. I'm also getting a much better end result .
I saw several reviews saying the product woulldn't stick. I cleaned the area with 409 and a scotchbrite sponge then followed that with a good scrubbing with alcohol soaked steel wool. Allowed it to air dry for an hour or so and applied the tape to both doors. Then let it sit 12 hours before use. It has been through 7 or 8 heat cycles so far and is still holding strong.

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.

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.

eagleman : Smoker door seal

Seems to work good with my smoker doors. shipping was fast

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.

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.

RandomRoosterJD : Sealed the smoker door nicely

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

Mark : We’ll see how it works next time I use it

We’ll see how it stands up, hopefully it will stay stuck

PezLee : Reduces smoke leakage

On the smoker we bought the door was bent to a different radius than the barrel so it leaked badly. Using this, we drastically reduced the smoke leaking out the door but the gap is so large in one section that is was unable to completely prevent it.

I will try to update this in the future as durability of the adhesive backing against the heat can be determined.

James Ray Poynter : Great product

A great product! Sealed my lid for my smoker. Now the smoke rises and goes out the smoke stack. Only dislike of the product the backing on the tape is hard to get started. But well worth the trouble!

Chip : Really Handy Item

Works good

LDC : Ease of use

Easy to apply, creates a good seal with no leakage

John R. : Keeps the smoke in my smoker!

Easy to install, works great, and already survived several smoke jobs.

Josh : Seals everything up nice and tight!

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!

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

Jeff : No smoke escaped from around the door!

I used this on my Rec Tec RT700. I had issues with the smoke flowing out around the main grill door. I installed this all the way around the door. Cleaned the surface very well and applied this product. Used the on the 4th of July to smoke some ribs and absolutely No Smoke escaped around the door. I highly recommend this product.

Shane Hembrough : It helps keep the smoke in

It help keep the smoke in. Love it !

Benjamin : GREAT at leading leaks!

This is great stuff. I have a offset smoker and through the years it's got gaps in the lid and sides. I used this and zero leakage now. It keeps heat in well and is really easy to use. just peel and stick. The peeling can be a bit of a pita but it's not bad. I can't recommend this enough.

Jared S. : Excellent product. Worked exactly as expected.

Followed the instructions and it worked out great! I would highly recommend this to any owner of a Traeger or other smoker that did not come with a gasket around the door. Very pleased with the performance. No more smoke (and heat) billowing out of the door.

Josh Carroll : Not durable

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.

michael bright : Doesn't stick very well

The sticky side is barely sticky at all

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.

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.

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.

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

Matthew M. : Still holding up well after several uses

This gasket makes the door seal up tighter to keep the heat and smoke in. Makes my smoker more efficient.

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.

Matt K. : Not bad

Sticks well on the clean surface and has held up well for a month with regular (2-3x a week) smokin/bbq’n

Amazon Customer : Improved the amt of exit smoke

Didn’t seal 100 % as I had hoped. Could be fault of misshaped lid. It did improve the amount of smoke exiting the chamber

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.

Ed Corrigan : Great Product Easy To Use

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!

Ryan K : Works!

Don't try to cut the paper backing like the instructions say. With a sharp razor blade, cut the felt down to the paper backing but not through and peel the felt away.

Derek H. : Great solution to smoke leakage

Worked great on my Traeger grill. The glue on the back seemed to adhere well after the first use of the grill, which heated it up. No more smoke leakage!

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...

CB : works well

Works well

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!

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

Mike R. : What a difference

I ran this on the door, and built in thermometer of my Camp Chef Smoke Vault. What a difference! Smoke used to roll out of the door and thermometer gauge area, but not any more. Totally worth it in my opinion. Just make sure to clean the areas you plan on putting this if your unit had been used. The cleaner the area the better adhesion you will have.

iRägeouS : Garbage- will ruin/stick to your bbq pit!

This gasket is garbage, was excited as it see
To go on well and seal well- but item stuck to my grill! This this was not made for high heat! I do not recommend buying this- look at my pictures!

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.
