I need to close gaps on sheet metal connections and make it seal tight so smoke doesn&acirc;&#128;&#153;t pass through in my fireplace. Would this work for that or do I

I just sealed mine and yes it does, just a tip use painters tape to protect the area and pull it ioff when done! this stuff hard to clean

Yes, but not well, and the application would treat the tool edge harshly. I would look for a different solution. A propane torch might work well if the fire hazard isn't great and local rules allow.

You can adjust the spring loaded door latches to allow for a more snug closure. Also adjust your vent on the top right. The vent will control the flow of smoke and also effect the humidity inside of the smoker. When I make jerky or smoked salmon I set the vent all the way open. When smoking brisket, turkey, and ham, I close it down until smoke comes out the door then open it back up just a little more to allow the smoke to draft up. By doing so this will keep the humidity level inside the smoker higher.

I am allergic to smoke and I keep it near my wood burning fireplace to remove smoke odors while I have a fire burning. It works very well at removing smoke odors.

They make a replacement seal for the Green Egg that probably would work better with the shape of the Weber. I used the nomex to seal a smoker, straight edges no radius involved. It might work if you put the nomex on the lid around the lip.Good luckDoug

I don't think I would use it for that purpose, I think replacing the pipe would be safer. I use it to seal cracks in the brick lining inside my fireplace. Guess you could contact the manufacturer to get their opinion.

I would think so. I used it to seal the door on my smoker which is basically the same thing.

Do the math. There is some flexibility, though it takes a bit of force to bend. I was working in a tight space, but got it to fit. You can also use fireproof goop around the edges once it's in place to tighten the seal. Couple years ago I put mine in and it's still working fine.

The walls are only about 1 inch thick, but my smoker holds temperature well. Not sure what material is used to insulate the unit. With the damper open to release smoke most smokers release a lot of heat anyway.

Based on my experience with the product, I suspect that the review you reference was done by someone who either had a defective unit (I don't know how good their quality control is, or who didn't ensure that the seal was tight before starting smoking. Mine arrives with a fairly loose fit between the lid and the pan, but I followed the instructions in the instruction manual and I haven't had any problems with too much smoke escaping. Some escapes, certainly, but not enough to result in anything more than a slight smell of smoke (which I don't mind). Keeping a window open nearby (if your local weather allows it) should eliminate that problem entirely.

I have the 18 1/2 WSM smoker and I used it on that door as well and it worked fine. The WSM door (at least on mine) doesn't fit snugly along the sides so I used this and ran a strip partly down each side and it has sealed the heat and smoke loss very well. Since then I have smoked 10-12 times and I don't see any degradation of the sealing. I'd recommend it if you are looking for a way to seal the WSM door. Hope this helps. Happy Smoking.

This is not fireproof, but it will resist fire for a little bit since it is metal. It has nothing to seal it shut, and the smoke will easily enter too.

All I can say is the door should close tight, in order to be fire proof. If loose heat would buid inside enough to start burning inside. My door close very tight. You should be ok for theft, against minor theives. These will not keep out an expert safe person. Like mine for what it is, it will work fine for what I use it for. Also keep important papers, etc in bank safe deposit box.

it should work with the mesh screen and you may have to add extra magnets or whateverto seal off all of the fireplace opening

I don't believe so I have only used it to SEAL AROUND MY STOVE PIPE ON TOP OF MY CAST IRON FIREPLACE MYSELF BIT IT DOES HARDEN QAUITE WELL AND STAY PUT.

It's not perfect, but good enough to shut off the fire if you close all the vents. Very little smoke comes out of anywhere but the top vent when I'm smoking. When I set it up for slow cooking, using an IQ120 temperature controller, I tape up the vent on the bottom so that there is minimal leak past the blower inlet. In that configuration it'll hold 230F for 14+ hours with a full load of lumpwood. I've yet to get to the full 18 hours on one load, but that's mainly because I've usually started with some partially burned charcoal when I should have started with new charcoal. I think I'll be able to get to the full 18 hours if I load it up with all new lumpwood. It's not perfect, but good enough to shut off the fire if you close all the vents.

My best guess is your smoke is not smoke, but dust. If the connections are not tight, a fine dust will escape.
