Any feedback on Stainless Door (22.5) from cajun bandit?

I am looking foir feedback from folks that have replaced their WSM 22.5 door with the sturdy stainless one from Cajun Bandit. Specifically, does it create a VERY tight seal? See below for details:


I ask because now that I have added the stoker, I find even more need to close up the massive leakage around the stock "tin foil" door. I have resorted to bungee-ing the stock door closed, which creates an air tight seal, and lets the stoker plug away endlessly (it seems). My concern is that although CB's stainless door is clearly an awesome improvement over stock, I wonder if it will actually allow more air in than my bungeed solution. If so, I have no need to bother.

So, feedback?

Yes, the Stainless steel Cajun Bandit door does create a tighter seal than the flimsy POS Weber excuse for an access door.

Brian, of course it does. My real question (seriously) is this: Is the seal as tight as the POS door with bungee wrapped around it. I'd be annoyed if my new heavy door didn't work as well as the POS secured with a bungee cord. Do you see any smoke from the CB door? I get NO leaks when I bungee wrap it.
