After almost a year of using my BGE I realized that I have to replace the gasket on the lid rim. I bought the standard BGE gasket kit, applied it with the 3M spray, and it seemed ok. But as my skills grew I started getting into higher heat cooking for steaks and chops, and noticed that the standard gasket was quickly shredding. In fact the inward sides were literally burned off. I decided to take a chance on this product, even though it is a bit more expensive and WOW it is tons better. Made out of Nomex --that just makes sense. It installed the same way the regular gasket did but wears much better and doesn't disintegrate with high heat. I wouldn't get any other kind of gasket liner.

I fried my factory gasket.

Bought this as a replacement. I hope I don't need to replace in a while cause the process itself was a pain in the butt, but for the most part, this seems to be holding up WAY better than my original BGE Gasket.

Honest reviews on Nomex Hi-temp, Flame Retardant Gasket Upgrade Kit for Big Green Egg

The gasket is definitely better than the one that comes standard. Having to disassemble the lid in order to replace the gasket was a chore, but there's no way around this step. Haven't done pizza yet, so I don't know how truly "fire retardant" the gasket actually is. If you've singed off your OEM gasket, I'd go with this one as a replacement.
