Kettle Gasket Kits??

[Hawk68]

Has anyone used the a gasket kit on their kettle? If so, how does it wear over time as far as effectiveness and color? Here is a link to the product.

I just cook on mine and after a while, the lid and rim basically gum up and there's no need for a gasket.

If you look closely at the pics in the link, the gaskets are on a WSM. But some people are using them on the lids of kettles or around some rotisserie rings that sit inside the bowl.

BBQGaskets.com is the real deal! I've used their LavaLock, FireBlack and RTV sealant on some of Drum and WSM mods and Big Green Eggs. If they don't have it - you don't need it! If you browse their stores in the upper left of the page they offer a lot of custom parts and accessories and they have great customer service and fast shipping.

Do you need a gasket on your kettle? Are you grilling or smoking with it? If it bothers you that you are getting too much smoke around the lid it won't hurt.
