I was thinking of using this as my new gasket. Does anyone know where I can get enough for a Large. Don't need 100 foot roll.

    I think @stlcharcoal sells them through his site.

    I don't know anything about that gasket, I have the Rutland and it has proven to be more than satisfactory. 
    See @RRP for a Rutland if you are interested. Can't beat the price or the service.

    It's a good gasket. And yes, it's sold several places online in less than 100' rolls. I personally optd to replace mine with a Rutland. Personal preference really.

    I have the cotronics from @stlcharcoal. Different material than the Rutlands, it is my understanding neither Rutlands or Cotronics are approved for use near food, so make your choice. The Primo forum has a guy that sells the Cotronics version as well. Like @NPHuskerFL says comes down to what you are comfortable with. The Kevlar high temp gaskets are food approved and will last years, I have a coming up on four year old one that cooks pizza every week or so on my MBGE. The newer ones are even better from the folks I've spoken to. I don't like the graphite in the Rutland and I itch like hell when I change my wood stove gasket, personal choice.

    What are the kevlar high temp gaskets?  What brand name are they sold under?

    I would rather light a candle than curse your darkness.

    Nine years ago when my new large eggs gasket was melted in the first 40 days an Egger friend told me about Cotronics and I went with it, its still on that egg and working just fine, doing a clean burn once the high temp rtv let go and I just cleaned the top of the base and put new rtv and the old gasket back on. The newer Kevlar is a great gasket, the Rutland is also a great gasket and the Cotronics is a great gasket.
