  • I take you through adjusting your EGG and show you why you are having issues with an underbite and/or your gasket getting rubbed off. I also show you how to check you have a good seal and what to do about it when you don't.

      Awesome. Just keep that bottom band super tight now. Really glad it helped.

    Well done thanks! I'd add that I lit a small fire starter and pile of woodchips on the grill and shut the dome before I did my final tightening of the fasteners. I was able to see and dynamically eliminate any smoke leaks through fine adjustments before committing to the setup.

    Thanks mate. From Atlanta, Georgia, USA. Probably one of the best videos on adjusting the bands on the big green egg I’ve seen in a bit.

    My egg is about 8 years old and has the design that has all the hinge tension at the center rear. This approach is a significant improvement, although it still needs the realignment.

    • @MeatSmokeFire
      @MeatSmokeFire  Před 2 lety +1

      One of my 4 large Eggs still has the old style bands. I love that the lid opens much wider with the old style bands.

  • @teresabrubaker
    @teresabrubaker Před 8 měsíci

    Thank you! Is it the same fix with an XL?

    • @MeatSmokeFire
      @MeatSmokeFire  Před 8 měsíci

      Yes, but the bands need to be 2-3mm from the gasket line.

  • @davidsteele3037
    @davidsteele3037 Před 3 lety

    My egg came with four plastic spacers, which I believe were to help align the lid. Are they not required?

    • @MeatSmokeFire
      @MeatSmokeFire  Před 3 lety

      They’re great but the Eggs don’t come with them any more. They make sure your bands are level.

      Can you take some photos of the hinge and mail them to enquires@meatsmokefire.co.uk

  • @DexterJise
    @DexterJise Před rokem

    why not use the spacers that come with the band wouldn't that do the same thing?

    • @MeatSmokeFire
      @MeatSmokeFire  Před rokem

      They're great but most people chuck them out.

      @@MeatSmokeFire yeah i figured that too i made sure to keep my original everything, box cardboard everything, luckily for me I've moved 6 times and never had a thing go wrong for any of the eggs.
