Replacement Rubber Tabs On The Lower Vent
1voyager
Posts: 1,157
I ordered the rubber/plastic tabs that go on the lower vent 3 - 4 months ago. Followed up on the order status several times: "yes, sir, they should arrive with our next order". Granted, it's a low-low priority for the dealer so I'm doubtful they will arrive this century. Any ideas for a replacement? I've been using gloves when I open and close the vent after discovering that the sharp exposed tabs have a somewhat negative effect on unprotected fingers.
Large Egg, PGS A40 gasser.

Wrap some duct tape around the tab.

I don’t know if it hold up to the heat, but what about that plasti-dip stuff?#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX.

Definite "cool factor", Ron.
Tape seemed to be a great idea but the adhesive became slimy due to heat from the Egg.
Ash tool will do the trick for now.

I tap mine with the spatula, a stick, or what ever is in my hand. Never knew there was supposed to be a tab on there.
