Can I use a current replacement hinge on a pre 2008 BGE?

My old Big Green Egg needs a new replacement hinge. I picked one up at the local Ace Hardware. The box says that it fits all 2008 Big Green Eggs and newer. My egg is older. Am I going to have a problem?

Last summer I put new one on my Large I purchased in 2000. Only issue I had was to finesse the dome and base a bit to close tightly...but I got it done. BTW you'll like that new hinge!

I replaced mine last year with the new style. It’s already rusting.

Remember you can always repaint a rusted hinge with a $10 rattle rattle high temperature paint can.

What size BGE?? Could be an issue if you have a medium as they changed quite a bit. If your firebox and/or fire ring break in an old medium, you have to replace both and the base.
