    OK Joe's Highland ready for mods.

    Haven't decided whether to go with a tape gasket or high-temp silicone to seal it up.  I'm confident that the Permatex Red RTV is fine for the smoker box, but not sure about the fire box. I've been using old barbecue racks wrapped with alluminum foil for a half-assed baffle and tuning plate, so...

    Hello!

    Now that I familiarized myself with my Highland smoker over the summer, I'm ready to perform the proper mods. Haven't decided whether to go with a tape gasket or high-temp silicone to seal it up.  I'm confident that the Permatex Red RTV is fine for the smoker box, but not sure about the fire...

    That does sound rather cool.  Good luck.

    Using Permatex Silicone Gasket maker on smoker.

    So you're going to use the "red" sruff?  Let me know how it turns out.  I was thinking along the same lines.

    Using Permatex Silicone Gasket maker on smoker.

    I've heard of using this stuff to seal the gaps on smokers and it's been suggested that it's ok to use the Ultra Copper on the smoker box as the temps don't get excessively high. Here's some info that was provided by Permatex on that subject,  ..."Permatex has a High Temp. RED RTV Silicone...

    Hello!

    Hey, Gary!  I figured I would try a picnic shoulder or maybe a boston butt.  I'm familiar with both cuts and both have plenty of fat so they're less likely to dry out or burn if the heat soars on me.  Regardless, I'm going to keep a hawk eye on that temp guage! Tom

    Would like your opinions.  Would you reccommend tuner plates, ceramic tiles, solid full-length  plate with varying size holes? What would be the benifit/downside to each? What width would I cut them to allow sufficient clearance underneath? Thanks.

    Hello!

    I've been using my broken down former gas grill to smoke things for the past 4 years or so and it was less than sufficient.  My daughter and son-in-law just got me a new Oklahoma Joe's Highland Offset Smoker for father's day and I was JACKED!.  It's the type of rig I've always wanted.  Not too...
