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

For the people with the smokeware SS cap. I just broke the ceramic dome cap today as it fell off the egg. Does this item actually shut down the egg completely? How do you guys feel about it?

After reading the heated debates on this forum, I finally pulled the trigger on the Smokeware cap but opted not to get the flat cap. My plan is to continue using the ceramic cap to snuff the fire. Is this a viable plan? I'm assuming the new cap and come on and off easily?

I've been using the newer style Smokeware Chimney Cap for past few months, but I've noticed my lump is continuing to burn longer than with my old daisy wheel when I'm done cooking. Do I need to by the flat cap? Didn't know if anyone experienced same issue and tried the flat cap, curious on results.
