My Big Green Egg was the most expensive grill I've ever purchased, but since it's lasted so long, the cost of replacing cheap grills every few years has easily paid for it. However, the last few years it's starting to show it's age. So I decided to overhaul it with all new parts after 15 years.

Thanks for this video. It's great to see how you upgraded your old BGE so easily. Looks like it's ready for another 15 years of service.

Just got a green egg. Great to see how well these Grills hold up, even with little maintenance. Thanks for the entertainment.

Gasket replacement goes more smoothly using acetone with a plastic putty knife. The acetone dissolves the adhesive, and the plastic putty knife is less likely to damage the ceramic.

I'll keep that in mind for next time!

Overhauled my egg after 15 yrs about 6 months ago. I normally use acetate for gasket removal but the goof-off works well. The lid/handle assembly is much better than what we had. I think you’ll like it thanks for sharing.

Thanks! Ya it's a lot better than the first generation handle, but I think the wood will still rot in the sun in a few years.

Just picked up an older model large BGE in good condition. Just needs the same updates you just did. Thanks for the vid.

Glad to help, as long as you don't drop it, it should last forever.

Why did you not do a burn off before placing new parts on? You still have a dirty smoker.
