Convert A Smoker To Propane With These Simple Kits
Just because you live in a building that doesn't allow charcoal smokers and grills doesn't mean that you can't enjoy cooking on the popular Weber Smokey Mountain smoker thanks to this simple kit from GasSmoker.com for converting it and other smokers to propane.
Upgrading Your Flimsy Weber Smokey Mountain Door
Upgrade your flimsy Weber Smokey Mountain door with this quality version. Arguably the biggest weakness with the otherwise solid build of the Weber Smokey Mountain is the removable front door which is flimsy and leaks. A great solution is to replace it with the heavy duty stainless steel door from Cajun Bandit.
Weber Smokey Mountain Gasket and Hinge Kit Reviewed
If you're tired of looking for a place to set your hot Weber Smokey Mountain lid then you'll love this easy to install lid hinge. A latch makes sure the lid stays open and won't slam on your head when you stick it in there to smell your meat, and a pin that you can remove so you can take the lid off all the way.
Weber Smokey Mountain Gaskets Create Airtight Seals
The door on a WSM is a bit flimsy and the lid doesn't always fit tight, leading to a leaky cooker that allows heat to escape. Create airtight seals on the door and/or lid with a Weber Smokey Mountain gasket kit, helping you to maintain perfect temperatures longer in the cooker.

Ekogrips BBQ Oven Gloves come in One-Size-Fits-Most (for hands 7" to 9.5" long), L/XL (for hands 9" to 11" long), and XXL (for hands 13+" long). They are all approximately 6" wide and have a unique pattern of silicone bumps or buttons on the outside shaped like flames.
Arres XL BBQ Grilling Gloves Reviewed
Arres XL BBQ Grilling Gloves come in two sizes: extra-large (13" long and 6.5" wide) and regular (9.5" long x 7" wide), are available in black only, and are constructed of a thick silicone material, and thus are not that dexterous.
Fortune High Heat Grilling Gloves Review And Rating
Fortune Grilling Gloves come in one size that "fits all" and a thin poly-cotton inside is fairly comfortable. The manufacturer lists them as being safe to 425 degrees F. They are FDA approved as being 100 percent BPA free and are textured on both the front and back with heart-shaped silicone bumps for improved grip.
Weber Premium Heat Resistant Gloves Review
The fabric Weber Premium Heat Resistant Gloves are 13" in length and come in two sizes, S/M and L/XL. They are made from 100 percent Aramid with silicone strips on the palm of the glove to aid in gripping hot cooking pans, pots and implements. The lining is 80 percent cotton and 20 percent polyester.
Pit Mitt Pro Heat Resistant Gloves Reviewed
Like other fabric gloves, the Pit Mitt Pro Heat Resistant Gloves can only be used on dry items and therefore cannot be used to handle food. Once they are wet, you can get burned or scalded. However, with dry items, they are said to be heat safe up to 450 degrees F. These gloves use Aramid Fibers in the outer layer.
Grill Beast BBQ And Grilling Gloves Review
On the exterior, the Grill Beast heat resistant BBQ and grilling cooking gloves are constructed of a thick fabric layer of 1313 Aramid (a Kevlar fiber) covered with a design of silicone patches, and on the inside they are lined with polyester and cotton. The manufacturer claims that they are heat safe to 662 degrees F.
Grill Armor Heat Resistant Gloves Review
Among the fabric gloves we tested, Grill Armor gloves came out on top. The outer layer is insulated with M-ARAMID & P-ARAMID fabric (the same as DuPont Nomex & Kevlar) and the manufacturer claims the gloves “Will Not Catch Fire Or Melt When Exposed To An Open Flame.” They have a lifetime replacement warranty.
Texas Irons Personalized BBQ Grilling Gloves Reviewed
The suede Texas Irons Personalized BBQ Grilling Gloves are some of the best-looking gloves I tested. They feature full grain leather in a soft suede finish with an “air-cushioned” soft cotton lining and 16 inch sleeves. To dress them up even more, the manufacturer offers a nice touch of free three letter etching.
Steven Raichlen Extra Long Suede Gloves Reviewed
The great looking Steven Raichlen Extra Long Suede Gloves have two contrasting colors: A smooth black suede upper, and a rougher textured tan colored glove and fingers. At 17.5 inches, these gloves are the longest ones we tested. They are lined with cotton, said to be heat safe to 475 degrees F.
