Oh you're in Germany, sorry. Yeah, that looks good. You can also check aircraft supply, they use fiberglass sealing tape on airplanes.

No problem!
I also thought about automotive sealing cardboard. But that would be too hard and stiff, I'm sure for doors and valves a soft and flexible seal might be better.
 
Today I sealed the doors and valve of the smoker with FireFix oven sealing cord.

Tomorrow I will try how it works. I hope the temperature will be easier to control.
 
For tomorrow I rubbed 15 chicken legs with brown sugar, salt, oregano, basil, black pepper and tabasco powder. After a few hours I marinaded them with a mixture of red wine, soy sauce, mustard and garlic. They will stay in the marinade until tomorrow.

Here's one chicken leg with mac and cheese and some sauce I made with the rest of the marinade, some red pepper cream chease and a few drops of lemon juice:

Tender and tasty! I like it!
 
Ohhh perfect BBQ, and perfectly modded smoker, I see the mods worked well. What did you spend, like $10?

I have a few mods to do to mine in spring including gasket.
 
8,75 € was the price, round about 11 $. The mods made it better, but it was still a PITA to control the temperature. I used my hot air gun for firing up...:lol:
 
You may need to drill holes in the charcoal pan, on the bottom too, and elevate it a bit with a few angled pieces of metal.
