Maybe it's just my phone app I use but I'll try it on the full site forum on my computer. But man thanks so much for the info that makes total since to me now! Guess I'll be ordering some gasket tomorrow and luckily I have tons of high temp RTV at work [emoji106] . I'll definitely let you know how it all works out!Big T wrote:It works for me but if it doesn't work you can look in the fabrication section and scroll down until you see How to fix a sprung door(jack and chain method). I like to use the fiberglass rope gasket (3/8'' or 1/2'')on my curved doors, it takes up any small gaps that you might have. I glue the gasket to the inside of my door strapping with high temp RTV (red) and let it cure for 24 hours. I put my door in place and gently snug it down with a couple of ratchet straps and then weld the hinges in place. You can also use a spacer half as thick as the gasket you're going to use and weld the hinges that way. I prefer the strap method because if your door isn't a perfect fit the shims might not work as well.
One other question for ya Big T. I'm looking at the http://bbqsmokersupply.com/bbq-gaskets/ ... -seal.html. Can the width of it be cut ? It says 1/2" x 1.5"x 12' my flange lip is 1" overlap. So I would need to trim it up just wasn't sure how easy that stuff is to work with as far cutting to size maybe a dumb ? but wanted to make sure before I order it.Big T wrote:It works for me but if it doesn't work you can look in the fabrication section and scroll down until you see How to fix a sprung door(jack and chain method).

Yeah I was looking at the wrong stuff, found what you were talking about on bbqgaskets.com. They have so many different types to choose from just got in a hurry the other stuff wasn't rope style. I'm assuming this is it? comes in a few sizes 1/2 , 3/8 like you were sayingBig T wrote:I don't know if you can trim it down or not but it would probably be pretty tough to cut. I use a regular fiberglass rope style gasket and glue it down with the red RTV.
