    Many right ways to use the Big Green Egg. Ron's way is certainly one of them.

    Well, I'm not worried about the temp on my cables as I rarely take my egg over 350, it's the hard surface putting a crimp I want to avoid, hence my preference to have the cable be sandwiched by two sides of soft & squishy.

    that's fine! If you love the world of egging under 350 degrees then that obviously is your safety zone and so be it! Trust me, there is another side here that likes steaks seared at say 700 and pizzas baked at 500 and so MANY other higher temperatures that a BGE is fully capable of! Your ceramic egg is NOT a wimpy device.
    I know it isn't wimpy, and I've done higher temps, but I'm not using probes when grilling a steak with direct heat, or cooking up some chicken wings.  But the majority of my cooks on the Egg are low & slows with two probes, one for the dome and the other for the hunk o'meat.

    If you are worried about your cables, and that's a reasonable concern, you need a thinner gasket - something in the 1/8" or 1/16" range. Cotronics ceramic would fit the bill. The Rutland is made to be compressed with a locking door as on a wood stove. They work, as would any glass or ceramic tape gasket. 
    Thanks for the info.
