A:  no I don't match price

A:  All smokers leak smoke. You will not be able to stop completely. Mine leaks some and still smoke great. Just follow the simple directions for seasoning.

A:  The silicone does help keep heat and smoke in the smoke chamber, especially the top corners and around the thermometer. Owners manual says to bring up to temperature (175 degrees) and hold for 45-60 minutes before first use to season.

A:  I bought some high heat silicone but didn’t have that big an issue with lost smoke so i never used it. To season i burned a whole bag of charcoal along with some wet hickory logs. Since then i haven’t even cleaned out the smoke chamber. All i clean are the racks. Works awesome.

A:  I used high temp gasket sealant where firebox and smoke box join. No smoke escapes. Seasoned for eight hours at higherish temps. Seemed just fine.

A:  Some folks use the sealant that is used for metal chimneys, but it's not required: Smoke needs to get out of the smoker in order to manage carburation (fresh air to keep the fire burning). For seasoning, bring it up to temperature and let the coals go cold & you're good.
