Did it completely seal all smoke or did it still smoke? The 340 and 700, bfg etc seem to have an elevated side barrel when the lid closes causing leaking from the top and bottom. From what research I've done Rectec has said its not needed and that it needs to breath etc etc.. we all know there's two sides to it.
I've seen someone use the tape for the top and bottom and used RTV to "form" to the unequal barrel level because if you put the tape all around, it still has a few mm of unevenness on the sides compared to the top- or does the gasket form to it overtime?
Has anyone done this ?
I've also seen on some Z grills that they put a washer underneath the hinge to let the bottom seal better if the sealant from the top..
Here:
Are some gaskets more "forming" to uneven surfaces?
