Review of Nomex High Heat Gasket with Adhesive Upgrade Kit for Primo Kamado

Customer Ratings:

I bought this gasket after I burned my second factory Primo gasket making a pizza on my Kamado grill. This product was as described and was shipped quickly. The quality of the gasket seems to be there and installation was a breeze. This gasket has the adhesive already on the back with a peel-away strip that you remove when you are ready to place the gasket. I had no trouble installing the gasket. So far it has performed well, I have yet to do a high temp pizza bake though, and will update my review with the results when I do.

A few notes:

1) Be sure to clean the rim of your Primo well before installation. This is important to ensure that this gasket has a good bond to the grill. The best way to do this is to get a scraper and scrape your old gasket off. Then I used some fine sandpaper to get any other grit/fiber off of the rim. Lastly, use some acetone and a cloth to remove any residual adhesive from the last gasket off of the grill and let the rim dry.

2) This gasket does NOT need to be 'pre-shrunk' in the dryer. If you attempt to do this you will most likely ruin the adhesive on the back and probably your dryer as well. This is not like other gaskets that have a separate adhesive and can be pre-shrunk prior to installation.

I will attempt to update this review as I continue to grill to comment on the durability and 'high heat resistance' of this gasket.

UPDATE 7/27/13 This gasket is still running strong. I have done many low and slow as well as high heat cooks and the gasket still adheres well and has not burnt up like the factory gasket did. More than likely the biggest reason people have trouble with the gasket adhering is because they did not clean the grill correctly. Be sure to use the scraper/sandpaper/ and acetone.

I would still give this gasket 5 stars.

We have replaced the heat gasket on our grill several times and this is the BEST one yet! Works great : )

The directions for applying the new gasket are invaluable. Using acetone to do the final cleaning prior to applying the gasket is crucial. The new gasket attached perfectly and stays in position following several hot temps. I really like the density of the gasket. It will last for some time and I would highly recommend this particular gasket for all Primo grill users.
