Just wanted to send out a HUGE THANK YOU for this video. I have old Char Broil smoker for 8 years. My wife and I stopped using it 5 years ago because of ALL the leaks from the firebox and smoking chamber. We basically bought a Big Green Egg and been using that instead. But I thought about it and decided it was stupid to not get some use out of old grill.

I finally got around 3 weeks ago to work on this project. It took me 2 days of work but I am finally finished.

I did all the mods except the temperature gauges. It makes a huge difference. I just finished the charcoal basket today. It cost me $35 total and that includes the angle grinder, blade, and expanding metal.

Am going to test some brisket on tomorrow. Can finally also grill on this as well as my Big Green Egg as well.

Excellent recommendations. I've got my braided seals coming, and just texted a friend who works in a metal shop for the final tip. Great idea.

My best mod is adding a DIY cold smoker to my grill.
added rotisserie kit and the best mode for me is Hight adjustable grates.
soon I will post my DIY video.

Great vid, I am picking up a smoker his weekend and I have the rtv ready.
Not super handy and want to properly seal as I install. I feel like I only get one shot, have to make the rtv bead perfect?
I guess I am going to mostly Tighten the bolts, make sure it’s line up, ease back, spread the bead and then lock it in.
Would love to see a video of mods during unboxing/install.
Most seem to just do it as band aids

Hey George, thanks for the video. We cant all afford a Yoder or even to break the $500 mark so this is helpful: I wouldnt have thought of a couple of these! And hey, just shrug off the armchair experts here who dont understand that sealing the chamber actually makes for a healthier smoke by drawing air from where it is supposed to come from (and keeps the temp and smoke flowing over the food and out the chimney). Thanks man, keep it up!

Awesome video, I'm assembling mine tonight. Did you glue your door gaskets with high-temp RTV or just use the adhesive that came on the gaskets? Thank You !!

Hey George! Great video. I just got my smoker and I’m implementing a few of these. Curious how you installed the Toggle Clamps? Did you drill and rivet? What’s the best way to attach? I definitely need those.
