[Jim Lampe]

ya know, as much as I use the dang door, I think they can do without it.

nice temp repair job Alan!

 

[Paul Kastner]

Bummer but looks like you've got it worked out!!

 

[Alan Soden]

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...

Well the food came off looking good. Nice job. What gasket kit are you referring to ? Is there a thread on it ?

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
