    The first one I did was at 300 degrees indirect on the expanded grill. I cooked it for about 3 hrs and pulled it off when the meat read 200, it was moist and really good, it and the ribs were the first to go.

    Good Luck,

    leave the gasket alone! let it be until it does not hold temps.. then change it!!!

    if you try to clean it you would be wasting your time!!

    and i will not change it!! :laugh:

    here is a old picture of my large

    the only reason i changed it was because i got embarressed by how bad it looked.. it still held temps.. but i ended up testing a nomex gasket a few years ago and that is what i have on mine now is a nomex.. so when you "just can't stand it anymore" call bge in atlanta and order a nomex gasket.. but if you are embarressed about a sauce stain you will not like the nomex well it is white.. i have had a couple nomexes for diffrent reasons here is what they look like when they are new

    so the sauce stain is "just in your head" :)
