a few times a year someone loses a dome due to lose bands.. even experienced eggers forget to tighten their nutz. with the holiday season almost upon us take a minute and check your bands and bolts. bands and nuts loosen over time especially with repeated high temp cooks. you nuts should be tight and your bolts bent.. [ don''t blame me i don't make this stuff up]
using RRP's double nut technique is a good idea.
pix are from green horn green egger ,, ,he recently lost his dome and as you can see his bolts were bent ,, as per usual the mothership and his dealer made things right.. no idea what happened but these pics show proper bent bolts and the trauma of lose bands and nutz..
let me be the first to wish all of you a a safe and happy holiday season , thankgiving, hanukkah and christmas..

Lovenbrau · November 2010

must remember to tighten my nutz!

lowercasebill · November 2010

no one likes loose nutz

"Sparky" · November 2010

Thanks for the reminder bill ole buddy,but the nut on that egg didn't need anymore tightening :whistle: The bolt appears to be broken to me(maybe,if possible,too tight?) :blink: Or maybe a defective bolt?Either way,it's a great idea to check them

FlaPoolman · November 2010

I tighten my nutz every chance I get B)

Great reminder and I saw you already took care of the PB privacy one

Jupiter Jim · November 2010

Bill, thanks so much for the reminder and just like Pat I'm in tune with my nutz as well.

Thanks lowercase, having moved my egg 1200 miles North,
might better check my nuts.

Mr Holloway · November 2010

Thank You
I have had the Egg 5 months and haven't re-checked since I first tightened(bent bolts)

Job number one tomorrow

The last pic makes me ill :sick:

Always Smokin · November 2010

Here is my med first pizza cook.(last year)
600 degree dome and I lifted the dome up and out it came. I am lucky no one got hurt and nothing got burned.
Mother ship took care of everything

So dont forget to play with your nuts , this way you can have more fun for a longer time.

I finished the pizzas with foil over the top
they still were great

bill as with knifes, Japanese gardens and Miso soup please send books, video, drawings and personal photo's on the proper way to thighten you nuts....On second thought just skip the personal photo please! :pinch:

Greenhorn Green Egger · November 2010

Hi Doug,
I think in the one pic of my Egg that the bolt appears broken and offset. It wasn't broken and appeared normal. Not really sure what happened. Anyway, all is well now. Nobody got hurt and my Egg is back up and running. It is now dealer installed (makes me feel better anyway) and double nutted by him. Hopefully the reminder helps others avoid this pain

"Sparky" · November 2010

It's that darn trick photography :laugh: I'm glad that your dealer took care of it for you

I'd better go check my nutz

lowercasebill · November 2010

no amount of sponge bob band-aids can fix a broken dome.
the new little guy is a beautiful baby.. congratulations .
my little one is up to 550 on the leg press and 250 on the bench.. it goes by so fast.

lowercasebill · November 2010

i heard that about you... would not be surprised if Al or E.M. did not have a picture.. i am thinking there should be some camera free zones at the next susnhine fest :laugh:

lowercasebill · November 2010

you are welcome ,, and i am begininng to think that is a common trait amounst middle aged male floridians :laugh:

lowercasebill · November 2010

please do check.. moving the egg around , in my experience, can cause a problem . mine came apart while we were moving it back into the trailer after a competition. no damgage but scary..

so where did you land? send me your new address and i will send you some of this years "cavemans club you to death' hot sauce.
the reminder to 'find' you is still coming up in my outlook

lowercasebill · November 2010

please! and do consider RRP's double nut technique it is worth the trip to the hardware store

misfit · November 2010

Wow, thanks for that. Shall send it to you today.

lowercasebill · November 2010

do you mind if i use your picture in my next public service announcement in the spring?

lowercasebill · November 2010

photos to be forwarded soon :laugh:

WeberWho? · November 2010

egginator · November 2010

Hypothetically speaking, if someone happened to replace their bolts with high strength, high heat aerospace bolts that don't bend and used locking nuts as well, would anyone have an idea of the proper torque setting?

Just asking,

Ed

Mr Holloway · November 2010

Job done

Not happy about how much they were able to tighten :angry:

Thanks again for the reminder.

lowercasebill · November 2010
