Hello All

Hello Everyone,

Glad I found this Forum.  I live in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada.  I have been smoking various things for about 3 years now with an electric smoker.  I have never been satisfied with the quality or flavour of product.  It is just ok, but not great.

Recently as the weather is changing to spring I have been thinking of getting a new wood/charcoal smoker.  For me it seems this will provide the most authentic experience.  I recently was looking into buying the Brinkmann Trailmaster Vertical smoker and did some research her on it.

I know that I should get gaskets and charcoal/wood basket, I have 3 questions:

- With the gasket, are the latches they recommend on the smoker door really necessary?

- The black gasket the sell that is self adhering, do I need any of the high temp silicon with that?

- Is 15 feet enough to do all I need including the 2 halfs of the fire box, or should I get 2 rolls?

Really looking forward to some quality BBQ this season!.....thank in advance for any help!
