      Hi Quentin. Enjoy your new, clean Egg on Tuesday! Don't forget to get a gasket kit before you start so you can change the gasket before you want to cook on it. Remember it needs to sit for 24 hours for the gasket glue to cure. Let me know if you need a link to my video on how to change the gasket.

    Just a quick one I was trying to replace my gasket on Lgbe and was using something like acetone but a substitute alcohol smells like fuel,
    to remove remnants of gasket and this poured a bit in the egg inner walls and it’s smelling bad like petrol , how do I get rid off the chemical smell ,
    Do I do a deep clean thanks

    Would be better to remove gasket PRE hard burn to make clean up of adhesive easyer??? Asking And yes i know with out gasket you can not slam lid

    • @BehindTheFoodTV
      @BehindTheFoodTV  3 роки тому

      Hey Dog! Actually, the gasket is more than just padding - it provides the airtight seal the BGE needs to concentrate the heat, so I wouldn't take it off first. Don't worry though - the adhesive isn't going to be any harder to get off after the clean burn - that glue has set over many cooks on your Egg, but a $5 can of acetone and it comes right off!

    I got a kamado up to 600º and it did a very good job. the was a little bit of a black ash coat, but the grease and neavy residue from smoking, beer can chicken etc. were history. Somebody has to convince me that I want my BGE to be so perfectly white that I want to jack it up to 1000º. The thermometer goes up to 750º so that kind of heat gives me the creeps.

    • @BehindTheFoodTV
      @BehindTheFoodTV  3 роки тому

      Hi James. These grills do great at higher temps - but you do have to take that factory thermometer out before you do it. The benefit of getting it up over 750° is that any impurities that have managed to seep into the ceramic get annihilated. But if you're happy with the results you get at 600° then keep doing it that way! Thanks for watching - Al

      Hey Rusty. I would bet that he already had a small crack in it that was just exasperated by the heat. I have 2 eggs and I do clean burns and replace gaskets 2-3 times a year. Never had a crack.

    Lol just tried this today on my xl egg and the egg is sealed shut. There's a crack in the ash vent leaking black liquid. I killed my egg lol. I found another video that shows how to do a controlled clean burn for an hour at 600 degrees, wish I'd seen that one first.

    • @BehindTheFoodTV
      @BehindTheFoodTV  Рік тому

      Hey Matthew - I'm so sorry this happened to you. I've done this probably 30 or 40 times on the eggs that I've owned and never had a problem (or heard of anyone else having a problem that didn't already have a crack). I've definitely not heard of it sticking shut. Did you get it open? Feel free to DM me on IG or Facebook and I'll try to help you through it the best I can.

    I just picked up a BGE from Craigslist to see if I like it. The seller told me ... and I can see it ... that they JUST replaced the gasket. I'd like to do a clean burn but not waste a perfectly good gasket. If I put foil around the gasket, would this prevent it from disintegrating?

    • @BehindTheFoodTV
      @BehindTheFoodTV  Рік тому

      Hi Rich. Congrats on your new BGE! I have no idea if foil will stop it from taking heat damage, but I don't think it would be enough insulation. I think you might need to buy a fresh one. Sorry!
