- After using your Big Green Egg for a while, there are certain maintenance items that will arise. Band adjustment, gasket replacement etc. You could very easily go to your local dealer and pay them to fix these normal issues, OR…... you could tackle them yourself. These are simple tasks that with just a little bit of elbow grease and a little bit of time are things that many of you can handle quite simply. Go ahead, try it out, you just may surprise yourself. In this video, @cptnron302 walks you step by step, in simple, easy to understand language how to adjust your metal bands as well as change both the dome and base gaskets.
To change a gasket on your grill may seem like a daunting task, bit it really is quite simple. If you follow these easy-to-follow directions, you could have all new gaskets and be back cooking within the hour. You will know when your gaskets need replacing as they may be totally flat with no bounce left in them or simply burned away like the Captains were. No matter the problem, these are both very normal things to happen during normal regular use. Hey, don’t forget, we are playing with fire every time we cook!

We hope that you find this helpful!!
Very interesting.
I had no idea that the egg had a fiberglass gasket.
What the heck?
Never seen it on my friends Egg. I wonder if theirs came with one and they didn’t even knew they were supposed to install it. I’ll send them the video.
Anyway, time to buy my own.
Thanks Capitan.
So rewarding when it’s all done and working good as new
Yes sir, you are exactly right
Great to meat you at Hartville a few Saturdays ago! This video on gaskets is one of the many that have helped me so much with my XL!
Our broken base has been replaced and the XL is in its new home on our deck. That deck box is LOADED with Fogo Black!
Hey Bill! That was one great day for sure! #FOGOorNoGo
I'm due for this on my Med. Thanks for again making everything BGE so simple to understand!
Our pleasure! The process is the same, no matter what size Egg you're working with
This whole process is simple and can be done quickly too!
You certainly proved that to be correct
I need to redo mine, thanks for the refresher. Take care.
You are very welcome.
Great Job Capt. Ron
Hey Scott, thanks my man!
I bought a used MiniMax a few months ago and it needs a new gasket. I've been terrified to change it. I think you've given me enough courage to take a crack at it. Thanks for another awesome video! #ToTheRefrigerator
Do it Ryan, you will be so proud of your accomplishment! The fridge comment puts you at the top of my list by the way!
Well this video sealed the deal! 😂
Get her done....
It's still leaking man. I followed your exact instructions, and my Harley is still losing oil. I gave it a perfect rim job, too!
You always make me laugh!
You should make a video on how to clean and care for the BGE cast iron accessories! Specifically the huge half circle griddle/grate that sit in my closet because its impossible to care for!! They're great when you need them but I dont use them as often as I'd like because they're SO HARD to get grime off of.
Cast iron can definitely be a labor of love
@@FOGOcharcoal I care for a lot of cast iron stuff, the BGE cast iron things are on another level of difficult
Thanks!!!!! you make it easy peeezy!!!! NUTS!!!!
Glad to help
Thank you for being such a great griller and your instructional videos are as good as your cook videos. How often should you replace the gasket or is it as needed?
Thank you John. My friend Noodles says to change it as needed......
Was that Ninja yelling at you at the beginning of the video? 😂
Yes! He always yells at me. He is mean. LOL. He's a good friend
Put him on camera with you! We need him to hit us with another Deeeeeeeeeelicious!
I wish I had seen this a year ago when I did my Mini Max’s gaskets. I took the bands completely off and stained my Challenger Table with acetone. So much easier than the route I went. I wonder if it’d work the same on an XL?
Hey Tony, sorry to hear that. Yes, the process is definitely the same
What are the benefits of this gasket material over the other types like the oven gasket material done in an earlier video and the new gasket material that is on a KJ Series III? Anyone used the KJ Series III gasket material on a GE yet?
This is for those that want to stick with OEM type of equipment. It is really what is made for these grills.
Thanks Cap’n, I’m coming up on a burn to clean my XL BGE and this video helps. Is there a difference between the FOGO gasket and the one sold by BGE?
Ours comes with all of the tools to replace it.
Great video. I've got some leaks in my gasket. Last night was doing a cook but the temp kept climbing, even after I closed off the top and shut the bottom inlet. And waiting a while. Could a leaky gasket cause that?
Yes, that will absolutely cause that.
You should replace the nuts. They won't lock well.
Not a bad idea....
