Sealing the Door

[Mark B (azmark)]

I notice that the access door allows smoke to billow out when it the cooker is first lit so I assume heat escapes during the cook. I was thinking about either replacing the door a Cajun Bandit but it is pretty new still so I was thinking about sealing it with this Tape. Does anyone have experience with something similar or should I even be worried about it

Honestly, I dont have the tighest door by any means. just bend it to fit as close as possible and dont spend another second worrying about it

Until I finally got the adjustment to my door correct on my 18.5 by bending it, I simply just put the door on upside down. I still lost a little smoke, but it works. I wouldn't be putting tape on it, but thats me. Good luck Mark.

If you registered the wsm with Weber, they will send you a new door. I just got a 22.5 and the door is way out on both sides of the latch. I will attempt to bend it but they are willing to sen d a new one so good.

Thanks for the info. I"ll just put it in the back of my head for now.

The WSM is not meant to be air tight. Bend to fit or ignore.
