Replacing the dome gasket on a Big Green Egg |
After Eggfest2001 - I decided to finally replace my 3 yr old gasket. I didn't need to - just sort of wanted to since I knew it was quite thin. It was a dirty but easy job.
Here is Large Humpty before the operation.
A putty knife and a utility knife was all I used. Then I used a wire brush on the top and removed the old felt.
Here is my Egg with all the felt off.
Here is the Egg after the brushing - ready for the new gasket. No fluids at all were used, just putty knife, utility knife and wire brush.
Cut the roll of new gasket in half - top and bottom. Pull off the backing as you apply - don't stretch it - and slowly place it down. The self adhesive holds it if the surface was cleaned well enough.
This took me about 20-25 min total time.
