Well, I burned off my BGE gasket. I contacted BGE and they sent me out a Nomex gasket.
I'm not about to dissasemble my BGE, scrape the edges and re-glue every year or so, that sucks.
So, I decided to design a gasket that would not require scraping the egg edges and one that could be
removed for high heat steak searing and pizza cooks.
I cut a ring of steel and applied the Nomex to both sides using the Peramtex Ultra Copper RTV.
I set the ring on the edge, bent the tabs to hold the ring on the edge, adjusted the hinge bands
for the ring thickness and it's done.
Just have to try it out now.
