Gaskets for ceramic cookers
I have a large BGE. I do a lot more grilling than low and slow. We grill 3-5 times per week and low and slow once or twice a month. I've burned out the gasket a couple of times in three years. Wondering if this happens with the Kamado as well. ---------------------------------------------------- This mailbox protected from junk email by MailFrontier Desktop from MailFrontier, Inc. http://info.mailfrontier.com |

I do keep it as clean as possible-I keep a 2" nylon bristle paintbrush in my Q kit to keep it brushed off. I'd call K Co. and get some of their gasket rope for your Egg-it's miles beyond the BGE felt stuff. monroe(happy camper) |

It's all in the material. "RRP" in the "green room" (green egg forum) sells kits for the eggs using Rutland gaskets (woven fiberglass, IIRC). bk should give him a *PING* over there. Kamado's gaskets are a ceramic weave, the egg gaskets are felt (no wonder they burn out) |

Thank you, I'm going to try that. If and when the egg ever dies, I'm replace
it with a K. But I don't envision it dieing in my lifetime. -- ---------------------------------------------------- This mailbox protected from junk email by MailFrontier Desktop from MailFrontier, Inc. http://info.mailfrontier.com " BOB" > wrote in message . .. > Monroe, of course... wrote: > > In article >, "bk" > > > wrote: > > > >> I have a large BGE.

I think you could probably get replacement gasket material at an auto parts
store. I use high-temp gasket goop to make a new gasket for my replacement gas burner. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Louis Cohen Living la vida loca at N37° 43' 7.9" W122° 8' 42.8" "bk" > wrote in message ... > > I have a large BGE.
