BGE Warranty Gasket

I got a gasket warranted by my dealer and it is the self-adhesive type. Does it work well or should I use a better adhesive on it? Thanks for your help.

That self-adhesive works just fine. The important thing to know is you need to have an extremely clean surface - no grease or oil. Mechanically remove the old gasket and adhesive and de-grease it with isopropyl alcohol or acetone.

My dealer tried to SELL me a replacement gasket for my "then" warrenteed egg!!! I took one look at the gasket and another at him -- and decided i didn't want either one!!! Went and odered a Rutland from RRP

Egg was three months old -- gasket was shot and i hadn't even cooked a pizza yet?? But i was "hooked" on using the egg, planning my next meal as i was cooking one... He handed me the gasket, and i thought " well, it's better than no gasket, but it was the same as what just burn up?". Then he said "that'll be sixteen dollars, plus tax!". I wasn't looking for a cheap "fix", i wanted my egg back in factory condition!!! These people sell stoves and house heaters, eggs are just a PITA for them -- from what i gathered!!

Can you just replace the bottom with a Rutland and be fine?

$16 dollars for a factory gasket? Dang some of your dealers are out of their mind on the prices they are charging. I just paid $6 dollars for a large gasket. The XL was only $7. I am still undecided on going nomex or rutland for my next. Although sounds like a lot of dealers are making a killing on basic items.

Does the replacement gasket from the mothership go on both top and bottom?

Are gaskets covered under warranty? Ive had my Egg for a week and tonight I did a Pizza on it. Once the Egg cooled I noticed that the gasket was burnt about half way from inside of the Egg. Not happy at all. The temp for the pizza was about 600deg.XL bge, Mini max & 36 BS Griddle.

Gasket warranty is one year. You must have had a felt gasket, they switched to Nomex months ago.

How do you tell the difference? Is there a link to show the 2 different kinds side by side?

They look very similar - light grey. If you get a new gasket (will be free though warranty), the packaging should say what it is. Don't accept a replacement felt gasket - waste of time putting that on. Insist on Nomex.
