# How to prevent smoke from escaping the smoke pit?

Solution

Requirement

1. Selecting the appropriate material and gasket..
   1. Select the quality gasket to seal the gap. Here I am using a LavaLock seal gasket.
2. Sized for tight fit.
   1. Measure the place where the gasket is to be pasted.
      So that the gasket is not big or small and be fixed tightly…
3. Use the proper equipment to quickly and easily cut and fit the gasket.
   1. Use right tool to cut the gasket.

Action

• First of all clean the place where the gasket will be pasted. So that it gets stick properly..
• Place the gasket and measure how long you need.
• Then cut the gasket accurately.
• Now remove or separate the cover or layer of the gasket.
• Then paste the gasket gently.

So, you can start pasting from the left cooking chamber or as you wish…
Similarly, at every place from where smoke is leaking, you can save the smoke by applying a gasket.

We can’t use gaskets everywhere like inside the smoker..

We will use silicone sealant to cover the internal gaps.

Requirement

•  Silicone sealant  

Action

• Put on your globs.
• Apply silicone sealant to the inner gap and the outer joint.
