I replaced the gasket on my Broil King Keg tonight. This is the third gasket I have had to replace in 5 years. After the steel gasket gave out I decided to go the way of BGE and KJ (up too 2016) and use a kevlar/felt gasket. These are really easy to apply. Especially now that many gaskets are self adhering. These gaskets are new to me, but this one seems to be more robust than other gaskets I have added to my BKK. After I put it down on the BKK, the seal felt really solid. I am looking forward to putting this to work tomorrow night. (after a 24-hour cure)
My stock gasket didn't last long. This is the second felt gasket I have added. I have been much happier with theres than the stock gasket form Broil King.
Hi, my name is Darrell. I'm an OTR truck driver for over 25 years. During my off time I love doing backyard cooks. I have a 48" Lang Deluxe smoker, Rec-Tec pellet smoker,1 Weber Genesis 330, 1 Weber Performer (blue), 2 Weber kettles (1 black and 1 Copper), 1 26" Weber kettle, a WSM, 8 Maverick Redi Chek thermometers, a PartyQ, 2 SnS, Grill Grates, Cast Iron grates, 1 ThermoPop (orange) and 2 ThermoPens (pink and orange) and planning on adding more cooking accessories. Now I have an Anova sous vide, the Dragon blower and 2 Chef alarms from Thermoworks.
Been through 4 gaskets on the BGE: 2 felt, 1 special wood oven type (kevlar? don't remember), 1 some kind of gasket material molded onto it and pressed. None have survived my abuse (stuff like Neapolitan style pizza). I've been running gasketless about 5 years now and no loss. Just been a matter of adjusting the lid to sit firmly on the tub.
Yeah, it runs a little hotter in the back, but it's ok.
Maybe luck. I just be careful about checking how the two fit annually (or so) and adjust if needed. I dunno', the BGE seems pretty forgiving. Still holds the temps around +/- 5, which is plenty precise for me.

Hi,
my understanding of your post is that the BGE gasket can replace and fit on the BKK. If ist’s true it’s a very good news. I also realised by looking at your photos that you use a different diffuser in your BKK. can you tell me which brand it is?

Welcome to the Pit! Thanks for joining up! I like to use the Lava Lock gaskets. They are self-adhering so you don't need to buy silicone and they don't make a mess. They work much better than the steel gaskets that you get stock on the BKK.
I use the diffuser from a large BGE. It works much much better than what BK gives you. (I think that set BK sells is a joke, personally.) Check CL in your area, you can usually find them fro pretty cheap. You can also buy this model too, if you just want to buy new. Or you can go to your local BGE dealer and buy one of theirs. They do make a big difference in the BKK.
