A while back, RonB sent me a Lavalock gasket for my Weber 22". (In return I sent him a package of chicken feet and the local specialty of duck tongues.) After losing it in my stuff, I rediscovered it the other day and applied it to my grill's lid. There aren't any instructions for it, but it was the perfect width to fit in the lip of the lid, so that's what I did. On my cookout Sunday, I found out that it doesn't fit snugly any more. The lip used to fit into the bowl, but now with the gasket in place it just sits on top of the bowl. Since the top is slightly out of round (probably what was causing it to leak in the first place) I can't get it to sit flat, and hence it still leaks.
Did I install the gasket wrong? Is it supposed to do this? I looked on the manufacturer's website and there are no instructions about how to apply it, one of those "of course it's obvious to us" things.
