Any one have suggestions on something better/more durable?  Has anyone ever tried using just the adhesive to create the seal?  I’ve burned up everything I’ve tried.  Thanks

    I’m curious how you’ve burnt it up. Mines been three years going, with many nuclear oopses. Is it literally nothing? Leaking? Got some pics?

    Dude. 1, mad props. I hit at least one of mine with my MAPP torch on a bi weekly basis and it won’t die.  It’s beat up but it’s easily the best thing I’ve found out there. 

    2 you may want to take a serious look at your alignment or application. Did you allow it to bunch up or did you stretch it thin? 

    Are you losing heat/smoke or does it just look charred?

    1. Yes, you can make a seal/gasket using only permatex.

    I know of nothing better than Rutland and Ultracopper. Mine has been there since 2009, to temps of...

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    Do tell how you burned up a gasket made for extreme temperatures

    Wrath??? 

     :) unless I missed something in the OP comment I'm not sure why you directed this comment to me. At this point I don't even know who this guy is, but IF he even bought it from me then if he wishes to send me his name, address and date he bought it from me so I can confirm that I will gladly refund him his money! 

    I make "Jack sh*t"  on this service now for 16 going on 17 years this Fall.

    OPPPS...I guess if this reply post consisting of offering a FULL refund of his money IF he bought it from is wrath then so be it.

    Question is how’s he burning them up?  Hard to comprehend.  Unless his troll account is Wes Johnson.  Everyone recognizes your non profit effort servicing this bunch of miscreants Ron. And thank you.

    So, upon further inspection, apparently it’s the adhesive that “failed” which caused the gasket to come loose in the back.  I went ahead & pulled it off & will try again.  I put this one on probably 2 years ago.  It happened during the cook below.

    I don't think that the "Wrath" of @RRP was intended to be taken literally.

    Is your name Wes Johnson? If so I believe Ron would like to come over and inspect the gasket personally.

    I cooked a Rutland. It was on a cracked base that I am using as a fire pit. I bet I burned a half dozen truckloads of downed trees/limbs before it died. I tried to find the pic but I must have deleted it.

    It is now 2018, and some of us women can drop you and the beer. So there is that.
    Hahah, that’s true.
