high temp sealer / caulking - 2006/03/05 00:25 My first foray into the barbecue world was a cheap NB horizontal offset smoker earlier this year. While the equipment is definitely lacking, the scarcity of real que around here makes me appreciate anything that comes out of it.
I`ve done a lot of the mods I`ve read about, but I`m still having problems with leaking air through the edges of the doors. (Both the firebox and smoking chamber) I`d like to seal them up with the high temp caulking I`ve read about in the FAQ, but I have no idea where to find any. My local HD isn`t any help.
Any suggestions on a store or online source? It would be appreciated.

Re:high temp sealer / caulking - 2006/03/05 01:20 Some sort of hi temp caulk is used for fireplace applications--I`ve seen it in my local hardware store. Maybe check a local fireplace shop or similar.
By "HD" I assume you mean Home Depot? That they are clueless is no surprise.

Re:high temp sealer / caulking - 2006/03/05 20:34 High temp silicone calk, from the auto parts store, it`s red and seals the headers against the exhaust ports on my small block Chevy. Says 600 degrees, seems like it`d work.
