Question about the nomex seal

[Jo Torez]

If I put one on my 22" wsm, will it disintegrate if I do a high heat chicken cook? I know it's a dumb question, but I feel the charcoal should last a little bit longer.

I did a pork shoulder today and my charcoal only lasted about 7 hours. Granted it lasted longer today because I used the small chimney for the minion and the temperature was more steady today.

Pork now is at 191 so I put it in the oven.

Thank you

I've got the gasket installed and I feel like I lost some of my high end temperature range. I wouldn't do it unless you're more concerned about the low end control like I am.
