Just got a new smokeware cap. Do you guys put the gasket on the egg or the cap?

on the cap, just above the flare. ignore the directions that say to put it on the egg and put it on the cap as far below the vent openings as possible but still above the flare. This is how I did it and I like it that way. Others on here may offer different advice, but most will say, put it on the cap and not on the egg.

Interesting.... I bought a floor model medium from the mothership and it had a gasket on the egg so I just slipped on the cap. It's been working fine. Why is putting it on the cap better?

@rrp is correct. I kept the factory. Wasn't long till the SW was slipping all over the place. Replaced with SW gasket on the cap. However, my SW gasket was felt, not the white that Ron shows. In any case, my cap is now welded to the neck.
-
Thanks Ron. I kept the smokeware gasket for that reason.

I haven't put the gasket on at all... still works great. I switch between DFMT and the Smokeware depending on the weather.

The factory felt is slightly thinner than the smokeware felt. After a few times mine took a set and no longer held the cap tight.
I put the smokeware felt on and now it is snug as bug. I go against the grain here. I prefer it on the egg. No issue with nuclear burns yet with the smokeware felt.They don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don’t want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They’re not interested in that. That doesn’t help them. That's against their interests. - George Carlin -
Mine is also on the Egg. I just followed the instructions that came with it. It hasn't given me any issues but I am a little concerned that if I were to try and remove it, say, for cleaning purposes the whole thing might come off. It feels very snug.
