Gasket Recommendations

Posts: 18
So it's once again time to replace the gasket on my egg and I was looking for recommendations from the group. Last time I did it I went with the Gold Standard self adhered gasket, it worked pretty well and lasted a few years until I tried to open the egg in below freezing temps and ripped it right off the egg. It's pretty burnt up at this point so no point in just gluing it back down. Anyway I am looking for any insights on other brands before I go and put the same one on again I want to make sure there isn't something else out there that is better performing.

Contact @RRP for a rutland gasket. $12 shipped. Lasts a long, long time. Applies to one side only (usually the base)Large, Medium, MiniMax, 36" Blackstone

In cooking, often we implement steps for which we have no explanations other than ‘that’s what everybody else does’ or ‘that’s what I have been told.’ Dare to think for yourself. -
I agree with the previous posts. Contact @RRP and you will have your gasket in a couple of days. He includes detailed directions on preping the surface and installation of the new gasket. He has shipped over 3000 gaskets including two of them to me.Nerk Ahia LBGE

Surprised no one has suggested the new KJ gasket. (ducks for cover)

The Rutland gasket is great! An added bonus, it does not freeze shut since it is only on the base.

I just put on my Rutland last week... I love it so far. How long do these usually last?

How many gasket threads do you see on here? Says something about BGE gaskets. -

While the newer Nomex gaskets aren't like a Rutland or anything, they are much better than the old felt ones. This isn't nearly the issue it once was either.Tspud1 said: -
There is so many Rutland gasket recommendations I don't see how that rule is enforcedTspud1 said: -
hahaha, good one. if BGE sold gaskets that were worth buying, and at a reasonable price, there wouldn't be any competition products posted. They don't, so there are.Tspud1 said:I thought they didn't like competition posted
Buy a Rutland. May be the last you ever buy.I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!
