Ross I went with the Cotronics, and I am very happy with it. Here is what I used and did.

Good luck what ever you decide to use.

Ross,

I'm kinda partial to the completely eroded BGE felt myself

Steve

I used Nomex and 3M Super 77 adhesive. It has held strong. I used a Dremel tool to sand off the old adhesive - works a heck of alot easier (and quicker) than elbow grease and solvents.

I installed it in April and its looking good and holding strong after lots of cooks. After I installed mine I left it alone for a few days actually 1 wk I think.

All in all I am happy - works alot better than the old felt gaskets.

Mike,

Great website.

Thanks for the link on Coltronics, must have had my head in the sand not hearing about that one before. Looks like a great solution and will try if the Nomex wears out.

Have none on Small or Large and see no difference. Very little smoke at lid.
Small off for past year and large off for past 6 months..

Mickey your one of the lucky ones No amount of grinding could take out the mismatch on mine.

Gary there is another post in here that shows a burnt
Nomex. I've used Rutlands for years, my only complaint
would be that I wish it were a bit thicker. I may try
installing one with the 3M glue.

Ross Do you know of a good source for the COTRONICS gasket. Direct I'm sure the minimum purchase would be
huge. Thanks

Thanks for the heads up on that...the ne gasket just came in the mail.

A 100' roll of Cotronics (enough to do 7 large Eggs) costs less than $30 plus shipping. I use #397-41 (1/6" x 1") rated 1500* adhered with Permatex 26B RTV.

Thanks for passing this on...thanks alot

Ross...Bubba Tim and I have been using Coltronics (395?) for several years, and they have been bullet proof. Added bonus...the are self adhesive...no goo, no mess. Just our two cents.

Where can you purchase the  Coltronic products?
