*NEW* BGE Owners - Your Last Gasket Set, Ever?

I have a large BGE. I dont mind paying for shipping and whatever else it takes to give this a try. I already have a new gasket and adhesive sitting here waiting.

I suppose that since I suggested the two "C's" concept earlier (which you had apparently already thought of on your own), I should give that a try.

Send me a PM with the size of BGE, address, etc.
 
Just did a few cooks and tests over the weekend.

High heat 650 degree pizzas, left the gasket ring in, no problem keeping heat, etc. The Nomex gasket ring showed no signs of softening, burning, etc.

Did a couple beer butt chickens. I intentionally placed more wood chunks on the fire to generate lots of smoke so I could see any sealing problems when I decided to shut down the exhaust vent.

The BGE held temp fine and was smoking pretty good when I closed down the exhaust cast vent. I saw a slight whisping of smoke coming out the front, just behind the handle. Not other smoke seen seeping from the gasket seal. I did see the front smoke with my stock, felt gasket as well. Not enough to be concerned about IMO.
 
Cool. How much and how soon? Put me down for a lg BGE.

I'm having some made up this week and already have a few takers for these freebies. I'd like to see how they work first, in case I have to modify the ring and split ring designs.

Send me a PM and I'll put you on the list.
 
I am interested in a Large, please keep me in the loop. I imagine that these will come with an detailed instruction sheet.

I love this website and all the people that come up with these great useful ideas that help the entire community.
