@orthobear - thanks for the pics. Very descriptive. I will go this route when my gasket fails.@rrp - i just wanted to know how difficult/simple the process was with removing the old and installing the Rutland. this post answered my questions.XL BGEJoe JRBaltimore, MD

No problem Gatabites. RRP's instructions were really easy to follow. The one question I have was whether or not I laid down enough permatex adhesive. I probably used about half of the tube. I'll take a picture tomorrow to see how it is.Houston, TX

Clean burns are unnecessary imo.
-
When installing the rutland gasket does it only go on the bottom? I am needing to replace mine as it burned off during the last clean burn. Also it cracked my fire ring. Called yesterday to get a replacement.
-
Yes I always strongly suggest that it only goes on the bottom!
-
@rrp - so, when the original gaskets wear out/crack/breakdown (whatever happens to them) and a replacement is in order, if the Rutland only goes on the bottom does that mean that the dome is gasket-free?Large (sometimes wish it were an XL) in KS

After the 24hr setup I opened the dome to test out the new gasket and when I tugged at it a little it came right off. Any ideas what went wrong? Not enough permatex? Was the surface not clean enough? Any ideas on what I need to do next? Thanks in advance.Houston, TX
-
From the looks of it I probably spread the permatex too thin.Houston, TX
-
Agree - spread thin it sets up fast.______________________________________________I love lamp..

@nolaegghead - is it ok to apply new permatex to the set permatex or do I need to clean that off first?Houston, TX
-
You know I have replied to all of your emails, but thanks for the picture! That gasket never even kissed that Permatex, much less got embedded in the fibers!

Just thought about this. Since a very high heat clean burn might damage the gasket ...if you lined the gasket with aluminum foil wouldn't that protect it? I've noticed I've gone through a lot of gaskets over the years. It was probably low quality gaskets and the any high temp burns I did for steak and pizzas.
