FEC-100 Gasket Replacement

jasonjaxMember

Hey guys,

I just ordered a new gasket for my FEC-100. I had for the second time in ~5+ years a high temp situation where the smoker shut-down. I think this was caused by not vacuuming out inbetween the fire-pot for years. Everything is fine now, BUT the gasket bulged pretty badly, and the unit is 7 years old anyways so figured I'd replace the gasket.

Anything I should be concerned about as I replace it? I didn't see any videos on the FEC-100 so I'm guessing you just slide out the old and stick the new one in.... I did see one could order the metal retainers, but I'm not even sure where those are unless I see them once I pull the gasket out completely.

Thanks!

The retainers are the metal strips that hold the gasket on. Just unscrew and replace. 10 minute job. The door will be easier to close after a few cooks.
