Bull Gasket Seal for RT-700

I tried to put the gasket on my smokebox but the door won't close with it on there....

Yes it can be a tight fit. I have 1/2 by 1/8 on mine. The door barely closed the first couple of times until the material condensed a bit. It took two hands to shut the door.

I used 1/2 by 1/8 also and there is no way that door was shutting...even without it my door seals pretty tight....it felt like I was going to bend the hinges if I forced it any further.

I can sure understand the decision to stop. No need to do harm. Would you be able to skip the right hand side? That seems like the riskiest one.

Tried that too...no dice.

I just bought a roll of gasket seal (Oklahoma Joe's) for my grill. Placed it on the bottom part of where lid sits & looks fine (actually you can't see it when closed) but when measuring sides the lid covers 1/4 " of grill but the seal is 1/2" wide so you can see the seal when lid's closed. Is this normal?

What do you all use? Have any pics?

I have tried several different gaskets, only Lava Lock worked. I used 3/4” X 1/4 and sealed the whole door on the inside, SOO much cleaner!

You placed yours on the lid, not grill? The instructions state place on grill. Any issues?

I applied several different gaskets ON THE LID, only the 3/4” X 1/4” held up and worked perfectly.
