    Not to hi-jack a very serious topic on a post-Friday but @Sardonicus -  that phrase "Bless your heart" is definitely a keeper and quite useful.  You can rip someone a brand new hole and close with "Bless your heart" and all is well.  The back-handed applications are infinite.

    I have to admit, that is true. I may not be the "smartest bulb in the drawer," but I know when I have been handed my arse. =)

    My Grandma..RIP.. Used that phrase a lot.. i suppose it was deserving, kinda glad I didn't know what she was saying at the time though :-)

    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.
    Mix 50/50 :fearful: That way it'll slide if you need to reposition the gasket.

    If Permatex Ultra Copper is THAT good, It is probably Not Available in California.

    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?
    I love it when a person on the forum for ten plus years asks a question that has been beaten to death. ;)

    there is one in  particular who posts stuff like "i just tried a way to cook chicking that i discovered called spatchcock. It was fantastic! You should try it!"

    go to your hardware store. Buy a flat rutland and a tube of the permatex. 
    Done

    Omfg, if it's anything like your other eggs just wheel it to the curb on trash day.  The workers will just glove up and take you out of your misery.

    Brent was giving out antibiotic shots to everyone who ate off your Mini Max. You didn't get one?

    John was a bit embarrassed about the science experiment in his mini max that he obviously forgot about prior to shipping to butt blast.   In the name of science, responsible science I might add, he was completely prepared to immolate the level 3 bio-hazard within, which is part of his agreement with area 51 and the San Diego zoo.
