I finally installed my rutland gasket

pinballLooking

I bought this BGE used and the hinge was installed upside down. He told me it would not stay up and maybe needed new springs.

Now it stays up just fine. It did take me a while to get it all position back where the dollar bill test was tight all the way around and dome fit just right. But it all good now.

NICE! A+ on the application!

What's the best place to get one? And what's the cost? TIA.

@Texag06ish I recommend buying it from @RRP

He has a set of directions and install knowledge that you want. Just private message him and he'll set you up.

This cracks me up, I had the same problem with my used egg, lid would just barely stay open to the point that I wouldn't leave it open without my hand on it in fear that it would come crashing down, the helpful eyes of fellow eggers on here pointed me in the right direction. Been great ever since, also recently installed my Rutland, much better than my char OEM gasket that came with it. Well done on the install.

Is that a burned out hole in your table at the 7 o'clock positions?

Yes he did not have the stand tighten down so the wood was touching the BGE. This happened before I bought it.

I pressured washed the stand and tightened down the bolts. I think I will make a cement top for like a couple other people on here did. Maybe take on this project it later in the summer. I will stain the stand to help make it look better.

I cooked on it tonight 235 no smoke came out gasket.

Actually any time smoke does come out then don't worry! Any leakage of smoke carries with it minute particles of creosote which will build up that leaking passageway and make it tighter. It won't happen overnight, but it will only make your Rutland stronger - not damage it like the other types.

I have a rutland but I have yet to install it. I am waiting for the OEM to finally go and the temperature to increase a bit <span></span>

I had mine for a few weeks. It was cold and I did not want to take a chance on the glue not setting.

You have to not cook on it for 24 hours I have been cooking almost every day. When I would have a day I was not cooking it would rain or I would not have time to do the job.

I cooked last night and I just looked at the lump left over after the cook. I am going to really like a good sealing gasket. I have a lot more lump left over.

To the point of the 'hole' in the table...has anyone put something around the cutout to insulate the wood from the Egg?  Just curious.  I haven't seen anything but that doesn't mean it doesn't get done.
