I'm wondering if using either a high temp caulk or epoxy to seal the area where the pot meets the bowl will aid in temp control and fuel conservation in the mini WSM?
Home depot sells a caulk good to 650 deg. and an epoxy good to 500. The description of the epoxy says " ideal for barbecue grills" among other things.
I think of trying a sealant every time I see smoke drifting out of the small gap between the IMUSA pot and the SJS bowl.
I guess the best way to do it would be to remove the pot and apply the sealant to the lip around the bowl where the pot rests.
After it dries completely, if a test smoke reveals it's not enough to seal the leak area, a second application could be applied.
What do you guys think? I mean besides I have too much time on my hands.
Has anyone here tried this or something similar?
Do you you think it's worth the effort?
