Spruce up my egg. Or, routine 8 year maintenance ;)

After eight years of use, it was about time I gave my large a full service.  

1.) Full load burn clean.  
2.) New nomex gasket.
3.) Fitting the egg mates I bought, 8 years ago. 
4.) Bought and installed the new 3" thermometer which I like a lot.  
5.) New stainless grill to replace my original OEM enamel grill, which I realized didn't have much enamel left, it had been replaced by rust. 
6.) I hemmed and hawed on the new daisy wheel replacements on the market, but in the end, did a full wire wheel strip and re-reseason of the original daisy wheel.  Came up a treat (see photos).

The parts weren't cheap, but cheaper than a new egg.  To be honest, it didn't *really* need it, but I thought I'd give back some of the love my egg has shown to me :)

Here's the before (ingore the mould, normally I'd do a quick burn and be good to go)...


And the after... (waiting on the new grill grate)


The new thermo and nest mates.

And finally, my rejuvenated daisy wheel (don't have a before, but trust me - it was really rusty.)
