I’m by no means a smoker expert or anything but isn’t that what the fan and vents are for?Just something to think about..... if you install the gasket, you will be decreasing the air flow. I’d suggest leaving the probe door partially open.
I used gasket around the vents and there’s no leakage. Keeps the sides of the grill where the vents attach to cleaner, if you care about that.Appreciate all the input. I installed it all around the lid and it is 100% better. No leaks. Now I’m thinking about doing the vents.
Yes. Plus there’s a big hole in the bottom of the grill for the grease drain. A lot of the higher-end models of pellet grills come with a lid gasket, so it’s not unusual to have a gasket, not a reason for concern if it doesn’t.I’m by no means a smoker expert or anything but isn’t that what the fan and vents are for?
If you seal the lid will it affect the warranty?The reason that ReqTec says not to seal the lid is because of air flow....
So, my response to that is seal the lid and keep the probe door at least partially open.
I’m just stating what others have stated Recteq told them. It has been mentioned quite a few times on the FB group page.recteq says it’s not necessary to seal the lid because it Isn’t necessary, not because the grill can’t get air if the lid is sealed. Every recteq has a sealed air box, and the fan blows in the air needed to burn the pellets. There’s no shortage of people here who have sealed their lids, and I don’t recall anyone taking the seal off because their grill was then starved for oxygen.
