Morning and thanks for the reply Icefever.
I have some of that tape on order already. Planning to do the edges of the stackers, lid and door edges. My stackers and lid are pretty tight at the moment and get very minimal leakage there. Its really the doors that are coniderably more leaky.
Not sure how this can be applied to the door hinges? Did you just tape over that space between hinge and door panel?
Got through the cook yesterday ok. Definitely had to use more fuel to keep it at 275f in that setup. Thinking of going empty water pan next, maybe the sand is affecting it.
I just want to make the setup more briquette efficient with longer cooks at 275f and up.
