Will that gasket hold up around the firebox door?

Use stove wool gasket for your FB

Is there a good or bad brand of stove wool gasket? I looked it up but I don't really know what I'm looking at.

Using all new metal and not having to mess with a propane tank is really nice. I feel like it actually has saved me time and saved me from the nasty smell you have to burn out. I'm kinda thinking about not using tanks again.

I was planning on buying this gasket to seal to cook chamber and warming box. Its the 3/4 x 1/8 self stick gasket. I don't think it will hold up on the firebox. Is this what you guys would get to seal it up?

I'm not familiar with the flat gasket but someone will be along soon that is. Just looking at the pictures again of your cooker, I have to say the legs at the FB end are at the balance point. When you get finished with this build it will become unstable. Plan on moving the legs further back under the FB end.

Better now than then.

Once I get the bottom of the firebox welded in I'm going to add short legs underneath it. What kind of gasket have you used?

Post by **Rodcrafter** » June 18th, 2015, 8:56 pm

I've used 1/2" rope. But you will want an flat gasket on that sorta cooker

Is it necessary to weld the inside and outside of the seams of the cook chamber and the vertical/ firebox or is just welding the outside fine?

Post by **Rodcrafter** » June 23rd, 2015, 7:18 pm

Just outside is fine

Made some pretty good progress this weekend. I'm gonna have to go into Rambo mode this upcoming weekend because the next cook for the church is July 11th. I should be able to get it done...

Got the smoker ready to paint just need to finish cooking grates and fire basket. I used Frank's design for the cook chamber latch. It took a while but it is really cool. Thanks Frank for going into such good detail on your mack build.

I'll get it painted tomorrow and seasoned before Saturday for the cook.
