LavaLock1/2" x 1/8" Nomex Grilling High Temp BBQ smoker gasket, white self stick

This is the 3rd time I’ve purchased from this manufacturer. Quality products every time. You’re paying for quality smoke and heat, these gaskets help you retain as much of it as possible keeping the smoke on the meat where it belongs.Sure it costs a little more, but you’ll make that up quickly in gas/wood/pellet savings.I have used these on every outdoor cooking system. Gas smokehouse, offset, and pellet grills. Easy application and stays where you put it.These work best on new cookers if putting on used one’s be sure clean the surfaces thoroughly to bare metal and use an alcohol pad to prep the area before sticking it on.Measure your cooker first and go thicker if you can fit it.Great products.Good luck.

The smoker I bought had seals around the door, but I ordered this anyway. I'm glad I did because original seals peeled off during the burning. I used this and worked great on the smoker and firebox door.

I just bought a Traeger to replace my old Kamado grill and one of the things I immediately missed was the felt gasket around the lid so I decided to give Lava Lock a try.Shipped fast and packaging is minimal plastic bag. Inside is a roll of felt tape with adhesive backing. It was easy to install and took just a few minutes. I waited a little while to write this review and now have about 20 cooks on this product which varied from an hour to 18 hours.After installing this, the first thing I noticed is that I get that satisfying “thump” sound when closing my grill lid instead of the metal clang. I missed that most about my kamado grill, but no more! It does a great job of preventing the smoke from leaking out of the door and there’s no more soot build up at the top edge of the door where it was leaking out before. I can’t really say it’s impacted the temperature stability because on my particular grill, the chimney and grease trap drain aren’t sealed or adjustable, but I’m definitely losing less smoke overall and I feel like its made a difference in the taste of the food. Traegers aren’t very smoke forward in the first place, so every little bit helps, and this has definitely helped add some flavor.There is plenty of felt on the roll and I only used about half of it on my grill so I have some backup in case i need to replace any in the future.Overall, this is a solid product and easily worth the $15. I would buy this again and recommend it to a friend if asked.

I like this product because it works well, I did not reward 5 stars because it did burn a little bit, but I am very impressed because I thought it would burn completely. I only had 1 spot where smoke escaped and it was on my firebox where the small 1 inch area burnt up, it's the FIRE box it gets extremely hot and I was burning a high temp fire because it was my first time firing it up, internal thermometer reached 450 degrees, so the top of the box was probably around 500. It was also the 1 spot that I was impatient while applying, so i blame myself equally. When the 1 inch area burnt, it was a slow burn and did not spread or interfere with the rest of the gaskets ability to do its job.I used this as a gasket on my Oklahoma Joe Highland Smoker. I put the gasket on the smoker chamber and on the fire box chamber. I did not put it on the doors that open, it's on the actual chambers. Just the same way that you would apply weather stripping to a door's frame, not the door itself.The gasket measurements were spot on, and fit perfect.The adhesive is good, it was easy to remove the back and stick it right to the BBQ.Smoker holds its temp, no loss of smoke out of the smoker chamber.I plan on purchasing the gasket again for future applications, and I do recommend this to other BBQ Smoker cooks.

Does exactly what is says, seals up leaks and makes my smoker run much more efficient, I honestly used half of the lump charcoal I normally use on a 12 hour smoke.It won't seal major gaps between the lid and smoker, but it does seal up all the many small to medium leaks that add up to heat loss, and thats what matters. I saw a couple people they said had burns in some areas, they're not actually burns, but smoke stains where the heat and smoke leaked out a bit.Follow their install directions, it's very important that you clean the gasket adhesive area really well. I used a fiber scrub pad with 409 or any type degreaser on the area, then used alcohol. It sticks really well, and make sure you let the gasket "seat" by leaving the lids closed for 24 hours after you installed them. I stuck a couple barbells on the lids to help the gasket flatten out.It's worth the money for sure.

Sealed fairly well and was simple enough to install. However, after almost a year and a dozen or so cooks, it is pealing in several places.

This is a must have for any smoker. I put it on my big OK Joe’s and my Traeger. Helps keep the smoke in for a deeper smoke taste. Don’t bother shopping around, this is the right price, durable and just works. I did not get paid for this review (but if they want to pay me they can)

Based on the whines about how difficult it was to separate the backing from the tape, I estimated an hour for installation. Actual time was about 5 minutes, and just one row around the chamber lid stopped 95% of the smoke leakage. A second row on the bottom took care of that 5%. Sticks nicely after one good long cook. Great product, no negatives.

The surface needs to be very clean and free of grease. Used it on my pellet smoker to seal the lid. Adhesive could be better but it is still on and hasn’t frayed at all like others mentioned.

Used this on my treager ironwood and sealed the door perfectly. Highly recommend. Remove bottom factory gasket first.

Easy to use

I used this product to seal my weber kettle charcoal grill so no smoke escapes between the lid and base.

Didn't last one burn on the fire box. Top half came off completely, and half on the sides
