    Will this work with a rutland gasket?  Maybe just add a felt gasket to the top of the rotisserie?
    I have a top gasket that is in pretty good shape, and this doesn't seal at all.  So, I am sure you will be fine without a top gasket.

    I like mine on real good corn tortillas with some diced white onion and cilantro. Enjoy! 🤤

    I couldn't control the dome temp below 450°F due to the leak that I showed above.  I will have to see if I can adjust somehow because that temperature cooked the pork too fast for my taste.  I would have liked to keep it 300°-350°F maximum, but I had the vents closed and it was at 450°-500° for most of the cook.  An hour after removing the skewer it was still at 450°.  

    I pulled the wedge out in order to shut it down.

    Both this and the pizza wedge will make lump sales go up at this rate.

    From the pics, looks like you had some serious heat going once all that lump ignited. I'd probably use half that and bank it.

    Do you have underbite? When I got the LetzQ I had the same issue with smoke leakage, but it was because the large had underbite. I fixed the underbite and no more smoke. I have the old bands.

    I’d try using a lot less lump. And go with a divider or bank to the back. I’ve just got a Rutland on the bottom and I had no issues keeping it at 350° for my cooks.

    Unless you’re looking to go hot and fast, most of the rotisserie cooks will be closed dome.

    Yeah, I didn’t use a small amount of lump or bank it but I did light it in the back. Also I had it closed down similar to a low and slow cook. You have the additional air draft from the area around the spit too. Another little gimmick for lowering temp is to use the ash tool to move it around and disturb the coal bed. It seems to interrupt the efficiency of the burn a bit. 

    Looks like you’ll have to try again. What a bummer!😁 The first attempt looked more than edible to me.🤤
