Time For A New Gasket

My Large BGE is about 4 years old, and I've been going commando for awhile. Actually it's worse than that - I have about a quarter of a gasket left on, bits and pieces really. So it's hard to hold low temps.
I gather the Rutland gaskets are the best? I think I found them on Amazon. Not sure what kind of glue to use. Any thoughts or comments?

Send a private message to RRP - you can get it from him (maybe cheaper???)
You apply the gasket using an automotive product called Permatex Ultra Copper. You can get it from any automotive store.

Wow. A suggestion that denture glue would hold it. And of course "no offence to Ron". This site rules....

John, when my felt gasket needed replacing I used the Copper Gasket stuff, but used the glue itself as the gasket:
http://eggheadforum.com/discussion/1144387/permatex-copper-gasket-install-w-pics#latest
Was quite simple to do, and although I haven't cooked a pizza since (I burned myself out on pizza, badly) the gasket material has held up perfectly (I have done one clean burn, no problems).
A Rutland would look neater, no doubt, but for $3 I'm quite happy with what I did._____________"I hear you're free on Wednesdays..." - JB

@Botch - dude, that is brilliant. If all I need is a bottle of glue and don't need any of that Rutland stuff, well... giddyup!!!"I've made a note never to piss you two off." - Stike

Just lay a bead of superglue around the ridge of the base then shut the lid. Let it cure for an hour and you'll never have to worry about replacing a gasket again.“Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.” ― Philip K. Diçk
