Little help please!

Can someone recommend a good gasket kit for my wsm? You can see the issue I'm having...it's mostly the door. Thanks!

Very interesting. As much smoke leakage from the door and top/middle seal as is coming from the top vent. By chance, how open was your top vent ?

I replaced my door latch with a Cajun Bandit latch. And sealed around it with Lava Lock gasket.

That looks totally normal to me. Are you having problems holding temps?
Otherwise I wouldnt worry about it.

I think the Cajun bandit door is really all you need (need maybe isn’t the right word, but it is better than the OE) the leak from the lid should fix itself over time. Also make sure the top vent is open 100%

Thanks everyone.

Top vent at that stage in the rib cook was about 1/3 open.

I have zero problems maintaining 230°. Just getting a little of leak at the door.

Appreciate the help!! Good ribs.

Thanks, Tim. I should probably have pointed out that the inner latch isn't what it used to be...

I went with that, Doug. Worked like a charm. Thank you for the post!

Good Lookin' Ribs ! ! !

Like others, I went with the Cajun Bandit Door & Latch. I think it's worth it.
