    Sealing the door on a ECB

So I started looking for air leaks and noticed a good 1/4" or better gap where the door is attached. At...

    What gage of extension cord.

    Hey, all I was just wondering what everyone here felt was a good gage for an extension cord. On the back of my smoker it says, 120v, 1500watt, 12.5 amp. I have a possible 14ga that is rated for 13amps... I'm guessing I should go for over kill here and get somewhere in the 12gage area. Still...
