FireBlack125 Black Nomex Self Stick Replacement for Big Green Egg Gasket High Temp w/LavaLock LG XL

great for a grill to help keep the smoke in such as a Rec Tec grill

Took 30 min or so to clean the smoke off the lid (91% isopropanol), but after that the tape stuck well. Seals the lid very well... no smoke leaking from lid now, even when the wind blows.I used short sections of this gasket on the edges of the Traeger folding shelf--where the shelf hits the legs when folded down.

Once you clean off the old gasket, this one went on flawlessly.

At first glance I didn't think there was enough material to do bottom and lid of my Komodo Joe Classic grill. How ever I had enough to do those plus the smoke cap with maybe 8 to 10 inches left over. I can not say anything about the durability of this product as I have just finished installation. I hope it lasts longer than original gasket as it is a rather timely project removing the old one ,preparing surface and applying new material. Follow package instructions and take your time and it should work as intended. 4 stars as I can't rate durability or the seal at this time.

I haven't cooked with it yet, so I'll update this if I need to later. Install was pretty simple, as long as you can think on your feet instead of just ripping the material away from the adhesive and wondering what happened (looking at you, guys that left 1 star reviews...).There are some good tips in here for getting the adhesive away from the backing, but what I did was slightly different. I measured my space to determine the length needed. Then, with the black side up (backing on the table) I cut down through the black material and just lightly scored the paper backing (don't cut all the way through it). Now you can fold the paper backing where you scored it and peel the material and adhesive off like you would when opening a band-aid.With some messaging it seemed to make a good stick with the edges of my freshly de-greased smoker lid. The thickness of the material may have caused a bit of a gap at the bottom of the door though, and I won't know until my next cooking session. If that's the case, I'll just add another strip to the body of the smoker to double up the material along the bottom edge. This is of course no fault of the FireBlack and entirely caused by the tolerances of my smoker's lid.

Ok, based on info from the Smokingmeatsforums, I purchased this product to seal up my Smoke Hollow propane smoker. Wow, this was the answer to my problem of inconsistent heat. Did ribs over the weekend and the temp was a rock solid 266 at the low setting. I couldn’t believe how stable it was. Once it settled down temp varied +/- 2 degrees. This unit sits on the side of my house where it can get a little breezy, but this had no impact what so ever on the temp. Previously it did. To apply, I followed the suggestions on the forum. First, I did cut the tape in half to approximately. ½” wide, so it would not overhang the flange. I wanted a neat look since I attached it to the body, not the door. I used grease remover to get the metal clean, then alternated cleaning and a light fine sanding 3 times. Final wipe down showed no grease remained. I placed the material very carefully, so as not to stretch it (per the instructions). You’ll get the hang of it pretty quickly. Once placed on all four sides, I closed the door and let it sit for 3 days. When I checked the adhesion it was perfect. Highly recommend.

The stickum works well if you get the old stuff off first; I eventually used a brush on my drill.This product seals very well. I can tell because when I put the cherry chunks on to smoke, all the smoke goes out the top, none leaks at the sealBut you also have to follow the directions: once the new gasket is in place, loosen the hinge bolts so that the top of the BGE seats, then retighten.

Even after extensive surface prep where I was installing on my OK Joe's offset smoker, I haven't been able to get more than 2 long cooks out of the gasket around the fire box and no more than 4 cooks out of the gasket around the smoke chamber until it begins peeling or falls off entirely with the lift of the lid mid-cook. I could understand it failing after several cooks or after a few months time if I wasn't as proactive with cleaning, seasoning, and covering my smoker.Okay for what it is, as it does seal well while it's still attached. However, as I shouldn't have to replace it THAT often, I'll be looking for other alternatives.
