Customers like the temperature control of the gasket. They say it helps maintain temperature much more easily, and regulates it.

Installation was not difficult, just takes time and patience, like anything. My 9-year-old helped me, and we didn't have any problems. It definitely cuts down on the smoke leakage, though it does not completely eliminate it. I installed the door gasket on the WSM body, versus the door. I had read you need a different latch if you put it on the door, and if I did need to replace the door for whatever reason, I wouldn't lose the gasket. Common sense implies adding a gasket will make the latch tighter. You may need to adjust, but do so carefully. I did not have an issue with adjusting mine, but I was careful and took my time.
So far so good, smoked a few times with it already, and no issues, and seems to do a pretty good job of sealing up the doors and top. Overall though, in hindsight, I'm not really sure why this product would be so highly touted as I read. Since your top vent will always be at least a little bit open which is always letting smoke out, why then is sealing up the door and top so important?
All in all, a good product, but instructions not so clear. Might not be for people who aren't handy or have a lack of patience.
I installed the kit as per manufacturer instructions. You should ensure all surfaces to be gasketed are clean and smooth. To prep all surfaces I used a degreaser, then a bit of dish soap with water and a sponge. Lastly, a rag dampened with denatured alcohol right before application of the RTV, (red gasket glue). With blue painters tape I marked off the edges before I applied the RTV. I used a plastic disposable fork to apply the RTV, which is very sticky, I’m glad I taped off the edges. Don’t over apply the RTV. Use the plastic fork to apply a uniform layer that will grab the gasket but not spill out the sides when the gasket is seated. I used Denatured Alochol on a rag to clean up any unwanted RTV.
The gasket was easy to apply. Take your time to seat the gasket into the glue. Don’t stretch the gasket material, let it lay naturally with no wrinkles. I chose to apply the gasket to the inside of the fuel door and not on the cooker. After applying the gasket, I trimmed around the door latch with a razor knife. The gasket does not interfere with the latch whatsoever. After 24 hours the RTV still wasn’t set so I went ahead and fired up the cooker anyway. It didn’t hurt anything, actually I think the heat is what cures it.
Anyway, good product. The WSM definitely needs some sort of gasket. This kit conveniently bundles everything you need in one box at an affordable price. Installation can be tricky, you must take your time. Seems durable enough to last a good while.

I then watched a few youtube videos on how to install it and went to work. The 18 in went first since that is the reason I really bought the kit in the first place. I didn't have a comb (I am follicularly challenged) so I used a disposable wooden toothpick to spread and even out the adhesive. One tip- do not stretch the gasket material. Lay it down as you go. I made sure to check behind where I had laid it down and made sure to push it down and into the corner. You have enough material.
That brings me to another point...I had enough of both to do BOTH my 18 in and 14 in Smokey Mountains. I still have adhesive and some of both gaskets for future repair, if needed.
Go slow...but not too slow if you live in places the adhesive will dry up before you have the gasket applied. Do a little at a time...adhesive, then gasket...then adhesive...then gasket...etc... until you are at the end and then cut. You are doing this on a smoker...you should already have patience. You are used to waiting 4-6 for ribs, 6 to 10 plus for a shoulder, and an eternity for a brisket...take your time.
Now, the doors. They were the PITA part for me. One tip...you need to leave a gap where the locking mechanism catches hold It needs to swivel freely. If I was able to seal up 95% plus of my leaks and only have this small gap...then I am more than fine with it.
Happy Smoking!

If you use a temperature controller with your smokey mountain set up with these gaskets it will blow you away, the picture of the graph on the American reviews is no lie.
You won't need to do the bottom seal on a smokey mountain so you'll have extra left over for a kettle if you have one, it's like a two for one deal.
Can I use the 1/2'' for the door if there is enough left?
Also, is it better to glue the gasket to the door or to the smoker itself?
