Going to use loc-tite temporarily, but install this compression latch http://tvwbb.com/showthread.php?39552-Pimp-My-Smoker-Stainless-Door-Mod&highlight=compression

Hey Mark - here's the link to the nomex gasket kit - http://www.bbqgaskets.com/catalog_4.html there are a bunch of threads on this I think, just search for gasket kit or look up WSM mods. I have pics of my gasket install here...

pulled it off [/url] IMG-20130831-00033 by adsoden, on Flickr[/IMG] [/url] IMG-20130831-00036 by adsoden, on Flickr[/IMG]

have a butt on, and chicken and ABT's. will put up a pic when it's done. amazing how stingy this thing is on fuel with the gasket kit! I'm sure that's what broke the latch, but we can rebuild it...

off to Lowe's tomorrow for a compression latch I guess...

you know i thought about that too after reading this: http://www.amazingribs.com/tips_and_technique/weber_smokey_mountain_setup.html "For the 22.5" WSM I recommend the fuse or snake method. Remove the charcoal ring and put a large rock in the center of the charcoal grate, about 8" in diameter...

time to update! weber14

No heat shield externally, but it does have a grease tray from a smokey joe mounted under the charcoal grate. http://help.weber.com/schematics/browse.aspx?Model=711001&Sequence=14 I'm thinking that air pocket it forms between it and the bottom bowl serves the same purpose and looks better...

OK folks - the stock latch fit fine with the CB door and the gasket. And when I closed the vents the coals went out. wow. I now have control over airflow. here are pics of the coals that went out and the doo rafter my first cook - you can see ZERO leaking around the door>>> [/url][/IMG]

bottom gasket around body. tried to get it right in the lip and provide a smooth transition with the RTV. Guess I'll have to cook on it this weekend... [/url][/IMG]

Chris, no EXTERNAL heat shield but look at part number 14 - an internal grease tray? maybe that performs the same function as an external heat shield? Also it has the side mounted silicone grommet I saw in another thread...

Are you saying the schematics don't have a water pan, bc I think #10 looks like the water pan... Or are you asking if you can safely cook the chicken without a heat sink?

kit from http://www.bbqgaskets.com/catalog_4.html instructions say may not need the gasket between body and bottom, but some have had success putting it on bottom of middle/body of smoker...;

my plan is when this dries, 24 hrs-ish, to put another gasket around the bottom edge of the flange on the middle portion that seals against the bottom section - if that makes sense? will post pics if flickr allows me...

wow what happened to flickr, that was a PITA

yeah, my CB door didn't fit exactly the same way my stock door didn't fit. adjustments to the stock and CB made it better. my CB door bent pretty easy after sitting in the sun under the stock weber vinyl cover, it was pretty hot today. uploading pics of gasket. my WSM seems to burn great but...
