untateve Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 my BGE is about five weeks old and i just burned off part of the gasket tonight. I'm guessing you have a special talent I've had my Egg for about 6-7 years. I changed the gasket for the first time last summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montster Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 I'm guessing you have a special talent I've had my Egg for about 6-7 years. I changed the gasket for the first time last summer. i was cooking a rib roast at about 500 degrees. when i opened the lid, i "burped" the Egg a little, but not enough -- i think the fire flared up around the plate setter and ignited the fat in the roasting pan, which was probably too large to begin with. (all this started when my wife said, "hey, should flames be coming out the top of your Egg?") i had to douse the flames with a spray bottle. thankfully, the roast was fine (and actually very tasty), but the roasting pan went into the trash. with a smaller pan, the gasket probably would've been fine -- and the seal is still good enough that i may not even have to replace it.

So--I was right. You have a special talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

untateve Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Is his egg gonna get re-po'd? i'm on probation. The Egg has chosen him. The Egg does not depart from us during our trials. The Egg is constant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiegie Posted August 8, 2009 Author Share Posted August 8, 2009 well, I'm giving it another go right now. Put the shoulder on about 45 minutes ago. Plan on it being ready around 8:00 or so tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
