Put on a new and approved gasket replacement ... and you should be good to go ....
Never eat anything passed through a window unless you're a seagull ... BGE Lg. -
Contact BGE HQ and the will likely send you a new nomex gratis. Search (or with the weak search function google) BGE gasket replacement and you will get several choices/options. Meanwhile you can go gasketless, at least in the burnt area-if you do more high heat cooks expect the remainder of the gasket to fail. So you can remove the rest of the OEM gasket now and go gasket-less-many do til you decide on a replacement approach.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

Scrape off all the gasket, do a very hot burn to get rid of any adhesive, and go gasket less.Be careful, man! I've got a beverage here.

Thanks.I think I will go gasket less for awhile.

travis, only women should go gasketless or is it topless? Anyway... get a rutland or nomex! :-)

Here's part of what BGE customer service told me in an email after my gasket burned throught after just 3 months.
Sorry for the trouble, we'll get that gasket in the mail. There is a lot
of good information on the forum, but there are some nutty things as well.
Rutland does not recommend using their gaskets around food, so do your research
before you make any decisions. High heat cooking is great, but you want to
limit the amount of time you keep the grill in that zone. Most people don't
realize that a dome temperature of 700 degrees is 1200 degrees at the cooking
grid level. That is why we recommend flipping the plate setter over and cooking
pizzas at 500-550 degrees. Your pizza will still taste great and it is much
easier on your gaskets. Honestly the only thing that changes is the amount off
cooking time is extended by a couple of minutes. Ultimately how you cook and
the temperatures you use will determine how long any gasket will last. If all
you ever did was direct grilling, you would not even need to have a gasket on
the grill, but it does protect the rims from impact damage and help keep
moisture in the grill. -
Dome at 700 is 1200 grate? Talk about nutty...
