Opinions on Gold Kevlar HiQue Gasket
I will be talking the Kamado to 900F for self clean. How are the HiQue Gold Standard Kevlar reinforced gaskets holding up during high temp cooks? Do they hold-up on high-temp cooks?

no idea, save some $ and get a Rutland from @RRP

900 degrees dome seems to be the failure point on every self adhesive gasket ive used. its not so much the gasket but the adhesive. i havent tried this gasket though. if you do those high temps alot the only gasket ive had success with is rutland with a fresh batch of rutland cement

My opinion is... FORTY BUCKS?!!!
I can buy a rutland locally for $6. So far, it has lasted over 5 years and performs like new.I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

+1 Rutland and if you go through @RRP you'll be sure to get the recommended sealant, too.

The KJ OEM handles the 900F - 1000F Heat well. It was a ice storm and a frozen lid on the Kamado that killed this gasket. The 1/8 inch thick KJ gaskets biggest enemy is not the heat but wear and tear. Thining out of the gasket over time.
I have been thinkng about a Cotronics gasket. I'm not keen on the fiberglass in the Rutland gaskets. I think the spun ceramic fibers are a safer option. I think the taped gaskets have issues with pulling off. I'm sure a cotronic with an ultra Coper would hold-up on the Joe. I'm doubtful I'd make any friends on the other boards using a Cotronics gasket gasket on the Joe.2x Kamado Joe Big Joes + Cyber Q Wifi + Themapen - Pizza Steel + BGE Paella Pan + BGE Ash Tools + Woo2 + Open Bar Fire Ring -
I can't speak for any of the other gaskets but the Rutland is a real game changer. For the record after I installed the Rutland on my large, I stuck a weed burner in the bottom vent and ran the egg up to 1,500 degrees and held it there for a little or 30 minutes just to test the gasket. The Rutland did not blink. That was almost a year ago and I have logged numerous high heat cooks on the egg since. The Rutland still hasn't blinked. I don't know what more you could ask from a gasket. Also Unit #1 came with a Rutland factory installed around the fire box door and the cooking chamber door. They both still look brand new. Unit #1 is a year old this month. In my opinion, one would be hard pressed to do any better than the Rutland. Contact @RRP and he will hook you up. His included instructions and advice is priceless.

I didn't realize Hi-Que even made gaskets; do you have a link?_____________

Kevlar and Nomex are aramid fibers and will stand up to heat for a while and won't melt; however, they will still char and break down. I can burn up a old nomex flight suit in no time.
A Cotronics gasket is woven ceramic. Good up to 1500F in direct flame. You can go nuclear, or wok with the lid open, no worries. I have been running them on all three BGEs for 4-5 yrs. They are still in perfect shape and have never frozen shut (as they don't absorb water.) I've used UltraCopper on two, and Super77 on the other--both work well.
I don't know anything about the fiberglass one, but people seem to like it. I'm happy with the Cotronics as are all the customers I have sold them too.

I'm getting tired of changing KJ gaskets every two years. They're just not holding-up to the harsh Canadian winters. The next Gasket changes will be Cotronics Gaskets.2x Kamado Joe Big Joes + Cyber Q Wifi + Themapen - Pizza Steel + BGE Paella Pan + BGE Ash Tools + Woo2 + Open Bar Fire Ring
