Replacing the Gasket

The heat sealing gasket material installed on your Big Green Egg® is designed to last for years under normal

operating conditions. If the gasket shows signs of excessive wear or deterioration, it can be easily replaced

using a Genuine Big Green Egg High Performance Gasket Kit.

INSTRUCTIONS

• Make sure the EGG is completely cool. Change gasket only in a dry, well-ventilated location. Please

take safety precautions and use protective gloves and eyewear.

• Begin by slightly moistening the old gasket material with acetone or isopropyl alcohol. Completely

remove the old gasket with a flat-edged scraper, and then clean the rim of the base and lid with

acetone or isopropyl alcohol to remove any gasket or adhesive residue (caution should be taken to

avoid damage to the ceramic surface). Do not use common household adhesive removers as they can

leave a residue on the ceramic surface.

• Allow ceramic to dry for at least 30 minutes; the surface must be clean and dry for the new gasket to

adhere. The new gasket is self-adhesive, provided that you have properly removed the old gasket and

cleaned the surface as instructed.

• Simply remove the backing from the gasket, taking care not to touch the adhesive side, and press

firmly down onto the rim. Carefully curve or bend the gasket material around the rim as you press

down, being careful not to let the gasket material hang over the inside edge. Do not pull or attempt to

stretch the gasket; there is ample material for the top and bottom rim of your EGG. Trim any excess

length as needed.

• Before using EGG, please allow gasket to cure for 24 hours in a dry location with the lid closed. To

improve longevity, keep gasket clean of grease and oils.

CAUTION - Only replace the gasket on a completely cooled and dry Big Green Egg. Wear protective eyewear

and gloves when handling acetone or isopropyl alcohol; work only in a well-ventilated area, and do not use

these products while smoking, near an open flame or near any source of ignition.
