I have had the exact grill(minus the side box) for 21 yrs. Painted it with 2 cans of grill paint( Lowes). Grills as good as anything but leaks smoke a lot. Thanks.
i like this gasket set up thanks man. trust me there are some other ones that drilled their grills i was looking for a video like yours that doesn't require that great job!
hey ive got this grill too i found a side mount chimney and used a hole saw and cut it out and mounted it at grate level so the smoke will pull more over the meat just a thought for you on amazon looking for a grill on the side of he road to grind a patch out of to patch the original chimney on top also they say a chimney on the side should be half to three fourths the length of you grill for optimum use
Red RTV. I would definitely go with black RTV for the fire box side (nothing wrong other than you can smell the RTV when it gets hot, had not peeled off or melted away.)
I've had my chargriller probably 20yrs with NO modifications to the hood at all. They are designed to work the way they're built. If there's smoke coming out around the hood that means it is full of smoke down to the lip. Think about it. The flue is designed to hold the heat in.(or smoke if that's what you want). If you want to smoke, you close the flue. If you want to grill, you open the flue and the temperature will go up with more draft to the coals. It is made how it is for a reason.
bbqsmokermods.com/char-griller-complete-gasket-seal-kit-by-lavalockr.html I chose the Nomex upgrade for $2 more. Apologies for not posting the link originally (noob video). Update: Gaskets are still holding after sitting out in the elments uncovered and about 30 smoke sessions since install.

I considered adding some angle iron for support but then I didn't want to have to seal all the holes!
Ditto😁😁

What did you use for cement on the gasket? I bought aRutland kit but the cement dried before I could apply the gasket.

What kind of gasket did you use? Link? Thanks, Keith
