It is a very important part of cooking in a Big Green Egg and should not be overlooked.  The Conveggtor is the heat deflector that is primarily used for indirect cooking in the BGE. 

This video will help show you the easiest way possible to fix this very common problem with the New Style bands in your new BGE

Over time and use, the dome and base will no longer line up properly and requires adjustment.  Yes, it may seem like a very daunting task but fear not, it is much easier than you may think.

There is a replacement gasket out there called the Rutland Gasket. It is a fiberglass “rope” gasket that only attaches to the base of the Egg and doesn’t require one on the dome. 

By now I’m sure that you know that you can reuse your used, unburned FOGO lump charcoal. If not, you can. The burning question (no pun intended) is to know if it is the same or are there any differences in the performance.

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 easiest way to get a full cleaning is with a hot fire burning for a couple of hours.
