Has anyone tried not replacing top gasket and how does it affect performance?

I've replaced both gaskets twice. I have gone without for about 2 years now. I am not missing them.

I also have the Rutland lower, nothing on top. Works like a charm. No leaks. Tried gasketless for a while, but my egg leaked too much.

Rutland on bottom, nothing on top. If I had to do it over, I'd put Rutland on top, nothing on bottom - would keep it clean from food spills and ash.Packerland, Wisconsin
