He's got a WSM and not interested in buying or building another smoker..... Jeez! Cajun bandit makes a good solid door that won't tweak out of shape that easily.
I bought this gasket kit and have had no problems...

Also got the Cajun Bandit SS Door. (Other than looks, can't really tell the difference in performance)

After tonight, lets just say that I can't WAIT to get my Backwoods Smoker! Ill use the WSM for Ribs and chicken because this thing won't cook low and slow with all of these air leaks. Ill get the gaskets and the Cajun Bandit to go on it as wwell. Hopefully that will make a difference.
I actually bought the gaskets and the door before I ever cooked on my WSM. Gasket around the top and the door. Will hold temps like nobody's business.
Now, I know what the real problem is. It's that new woman...errr...smoker you're eyeballing that's coming into your life. The old girl's shortcomings always become more aggravating when there's a new one on the horizon.:mrgreen:

I highly recommend you put the gasket on the wsm opening itself and not on the door. Make sure the surface is very clean and dry before you put the gasket on.
I have a wsm with the gasket kit from Cajun Bandits with their door and the gaskets have been holding for 2 years now. There are no leaks at all.
Too many people obsess over the door on a wsm. there has never been a door that seals perfectly. ya just have to get over it. find where the wsm likes to settle in and get used to cooking at that. My 22 settled at 240. my bro's 18 with the guru adapter open (no guru fan attached) would be 250, open the vents 300. it was that simple.
