How to change the BGE Gasket

If you have been using your Egg for some time now, there is a chance that your gaskets may be in need of replacement. The gasket ensures a tight seal for efficiency when low and slow cooking, so you always want to know that you have a good tight seal. The idea of changing the gaskets may be very daunting and intimidating but fear not. It is much easier than you may think. With a little time and patience, your Egg will be back to performing the way that it did when you first got it.

  • Thank you Ron for all the great tips. One question. Since you know ahead of time that in all likelihood you will be replacing the gasket after a clean burn, wouldn’t there be an advantage to removing the gasket before the clean burn, scrap it down, and then let the high heat of the clean burn help get the remaining glue, etc off ???

    Thank you !!

  • Hey Captn, There is an easier way, remove the old gasket and a quick run around the rim with a map gas torch and scraper, clean as can be with very little effort… Then wipe and done…

  • Excellent video on how to change the gasket on the BGE. I’m now set to give it a go. ALL of the BGE tutorial have been extremely helpful.

  • Great job replacing the gasket using the newer hinge. Can you do the same using the older type hinge. I have the large BGE (older hinge) and changing the gasket and realigning the lid is a devil of a job
