Billows and the WSM

[Alan Keen]

Hi folks,
I've got a large WSM, a one touch Platinum and just bought a 3rd gen performer as a refurb. project.
I've just obtained a billows and smoke x4 to use primarily on the WSM. I see in the billows instructions it says tape over the other holes of the damper with the supplied flue tape.
I thought that would look pretty naff so i've got some silicone bungs to block them off, I also didn't fancy leaving the billows in situ whilst the smoker cools down, so I got a silicone stopper with a handle to replace it.

Cheers,
kirton

Most certainly worth the try.
Only concern I see is if the bungs are not high temperature rated ?

The vendors said they were high temp rated. I will report back after a few uses.
