Gold Standard Nomex and Kevlar Gasket, Replacement for Big Green Egg Mini, Small, and Medium Grill High Heat 10' Gasket Seal, 2-Year Warranty, Made in USA

Works great on our green egg mini! No more leaks and easy to install once we got the old gasket off.

Easy, works perfect, high quality.

I got confused for a second when I opened the package and didn't see the word "Nomex" clearly labeled. I quickly realized that I'm probably getting the brand name and material names confused.The instructions were useful and removing the old gasket took a little work. (buying a lot of acetone helped).Applying the new gasket was easy, and there was enough product left for patching if required. As a note to others, I would cut the strips a little longer than what you need. This would then allow you to squish the fabric at the seams a little better. The gasket will shrink a tiny bit and if I did the squishing I'd be more happy with the application.Seems like a very good product and I'd recommend it to others.

Our gasket was the original wool felt and it was old, matted down and in any case, the OEM gasket is NOT suited to high temperature grilling (Pittsburgh style steak, or pizza, or cleaning the grill inside at 650-700F.) At the price of these ceramic grills, it astounds me they don't put on a better gasket from the get-go. So before I embarked on revitalizing my old Egg, I scraped off the wool gasket and removed the adhesive residue. (I tried both isopropyl alcohol and then acetone 100%. Acetone was more effective.) After scraping off the sticky stuff with a putty knife and then rubbing with a microfiber cloth soaked in solvent, I attached this new gasket by first cutting the length in half and then peeling back the backing while sticking it down, starting at the back. When doing the top, start offset, that is, don't line up the starts top and bottom but offset the top a couple of inches. I being female was able to do this pretty well and didn't even need to have someone cheering me on by watching and shuffling their feet as I stuck down the new gasket.Then you let the adhesive cure over night or 24 hours; it will be able to be moved when you apply the gasket but 12 hours later, it will be well stuck (close the lid to put weight on it) and after 24 it's pretty well glued down.I notice that even though the manufacturer talks about this being a blend of Nomex and Kevlar, two of Dupont's specialized heat resistant materials, it doesn't exactly give a temperature range for its operation. So I assume I can run it at 700 degrees---but for how long until the adhesive fails?The original Big Green Egg gasket will not run at 650-700 so for doing high heat grills and cleaning, you need to replace the gasket and I assume this one has a lifespan as well; they give a 2 year warranty but my guess is continually running it at high heat cooks will reduce the life of this gasket. However, the cost is reasonable and the job isn't all that bad to replace it.

I received this item today. The box was crushed and no instructions inside. How do I get instructions,please.

Easy to install. Just take the time to take off old gasket and adhesive to ensure good adhesion. No leaks and it appears more durable then the original gasket. I have had a medium egg for about 9 months and had to replace the gasket because I use it almost every week. The new gasket looks like it will last longer than the original.I recommend it to anyone that needs to replace their gasket.

Clear instructions and a very straightforward installation process. Only hard part was removing the old glue residue from the old gaskets. You need lots of acetone, a good scraper, and bunch of elbow grease.

The Nomex gasket with the double sided tape is the way to go when maintenance is required on your BGE. Getting rid of the old cooked on gasket and cleaning the BGE rim is a PITA, but once that is done installing the new gasket is a snap. Mine was extra easy, because my wife did it. I learned long ago that anything that is flexible involving adhesives needs to be handled by her ... I just stand around and make appreciative noises, shuffle my feet, and hand her scissors when asked. The job turned out great ... I removed the dome beforehand to make working on it easier ... we have only cooked on the BGE three times since the new gasket was installed, so far it works great ... temps have been up to 800 degrees, adhesive is holding well.

This is an excellent replacement gasket for a medium Egg (top and bottom surfaces). I think there may be enough gasket material to fit a large Egg as well but I did not try this. The kit also includes an extra piece of gasket for the chimney which is a nice touch. I found this gasket extremely easy to put on in comparison to previous gaskets I have used. I don't know if this is because of the gasket material or the fact that I have now replaced so many gaskets on Eggs that it seems natural to me but I suspect the former is more likely true. It was very easy to form the gasket around the circumference of the Egg, even on the lid surface which can sometimes be a very awkward exercise. I really went nuts cleaning the ceramic surfaces before putting the gasket on (this is one of the key lessons learned from previous replacement exercises). The instructions included with the gasket are very good for letting you know how to get the surfaces good and clean before applying the new gasket. Make sure you do this!! Another key point is to make the joining seams of the gasket well away from the very back of the Egg. There is a "scrub" effect on the gasket as the lid is opened and closed that will shift the gasket tape if there is a join seam between the two ends of the tape at that point. I usually make one (top or bottom) seam about 30 degrees to the right of the back of the Egg and the other seam about 30 degrees to the left. This gets the seam out of the "scrub area" and the opposite directions from the back of the Egg ensure the top and bottom seam points do not overlap to create a smoke leak point.After three smoking sessions with this gasket installed, I am extremely pleased with it. It seems to be making a better "smoke seal" between the top and bottom portions of the Egg than my previous efforts, likely due to both the gasket itself and the nice clean installation. The gasket has enough "give" in it to allow my four temperature probes to pass through without creating a smoke leak.In summary, I couldn't be happier with this gasket. I definitely have achieved a much better seal than any of my previous gasket installations. This will be a repeat purchase for me when my other Egg is ready and I recommend it highly to anyone looking for a gasket replacement.

This resulted in a nice tight seal. The hardest part is removing the old gasket - this thing goes on very smoothly.

A little expensive, but it's what I needed.

Great Product.

Great!
