Рет қаралды 56,576
Күн бұрынAfter some neglect its time to replace my gasket on my Kamado Joe classic 3. BUT, before that a quick experiment to find out if an upper and lower dome gasket is even necessary to seal in smoke.
After some fun, I will show you how to prep your Joe for a new gasket as well as install a new fibre mesh gasket replacement kit using some high heat silicone.

Thanks again, James! I will be replacing my KJ gasket with confidence this afternoon. I even managed to get the same silicone adhesive that you used. I'm hoping to piece back together a chunk of the ceramic base that I stupidly over-tightened and cracked at the end of last season. That silicone should do the trick! Here's hoping!

My only real pet peeve with my Komodo Joe Big Joe III is exactly this! One of my gaskets got loose within 10 cooks. I was so excited for the original thought of their gasket design, and completely let down that it’s still held on with an adhesive, no mechanical fasteners. I’ve been running my Joe for many months now with only a single gasket and it works just fine. I have not cooked pizza with the dojo, but plan to shortly. I don’t know if this will affect that at all. Keep up the good work and thank you.

Kamado Joe warranty service is OUTSTANDING. I was disappointed in the quality of the assembly of my Classic 2 (although the quality of the individual parts is great). As a result of the poor way my grill was put together, the gaskets quickly failed. KJ customer service quickly sent me replacement gaskets, which I expected. Then I discovered that the base was cracked. But when I asked them for options to replace or repair it, they send a replacement for that, too! My KJ Classic is back in working order and I can honestly say that it is now better than new!
@Grover124 3 жыл бұрын
Good video, James! I’m always looking for KJ Classic 3 hacks! Suggestion, if you will: Compare fire starters. I began using the KJ-style “cardboard” starters as they’re cheap and easy to find. I’ve tried the Royal Oak tumbleweeds, Weber paraffin cubes, and strait MAPP torch, and now the KJ starters. I found the KJ boards to be difficult to light but I don’t know why. I always use a MAPP torch to light my starters. The Weber paraffin cubes always catch right away and seem the best. If you have suggestions, I’d love to hear them. Thanks!

Thanks for another great video. My classic 3 just had its bottom gasket go. KJ was great with warranty and I had a new gasket in less than a week. My question is - it looks like the original mesh gasket was mounted on a felt gasket. The replacement just has an adhesive on one side (no felt) - is this an issue? Or just use the high temp silicon to aid in adhering the new gasket? Thanks again for this great channel!

As always, a very informative video. I've already replaced the bottom gasket once and only owned my KJ Classic 3 for 11 months. Warranty replacement is now coming off, and I was about to replace it when I saw this video and now I will definitely try a silicone repair first. I'm also very intrigued with the idea of going without the lower gasket. Do you think the lower gasket serves some purpose when using the DoJo or the Jotisserie? Keep the great videos coming!
@SmokingDadBBQ 3 жыл бұрын
i find the DoJoe is what kills the gasket... the ring gets so hot it takes life out of the bottom gasket. i have since added an amazon gasket to the bottom of mine to try and protect the gasket on the joe. the pellet joe has no gasket on the bottom and the DoJoe worked perfect on it
@WilfredForbert 3 жыл бұрын
@@SmokingDadBBQ I too had a gasket fail, right after using the DoJoe. I followed your tips for using the DoJoe, so I am running it hot, just a smidge below 700 dome temp. Since you have found the DOJoe to cause gasket failures, are you still as enthusiastic about using it. I think we only used the DoJoe about 4 or 5 times before it took the gasket off. Does that sound about right to you? Do you still recommend the DoJoe and then just dealing with the gasket as needed?

Gasket anxiety is real. I freaked out when I dumped a chimney of charcoal into the Slow N Sear and only after I raked the coals did I notice a few embers were burning on the gasket, but it doesn't seem to have hurt anything several months later than a few burnt spots being visible. I hope I don't have to replace mine anytime zoon, I'm afraid I'd damage the ceramic having to scrape the old one off, especially around the dome.

Hi! My brand new Kamado Joe lid gasket was damaged right off the box. :( But the whole thing could be "fixed" by simply covering it with the sealing paper you are using in this video. Where can I get my hand on a roll of that?

I see that you are using J-B Weld High-Temp Red Silicon. What size tube was enough for that project? I seems to come in a 3oz tube. And it appears that was enough for one gasket. Correct? My lower gasket came off last weekend. So I need to do this myself now. I like J-B Weld's stuff. So have you been happy with the results all these months later?

I am going to take my top dome off and turn it upside down and do it that way and then once it’s tacked up I’m going to turn it over and set it lightly on the base after starting a fire. My gaskets weren’t applied properly from the factory (half way inside the cooking area) so they were destined to fail. I think I’m going to err on making the replacement a little long rather than a little short.

Any input on how to install the top/lid gasket? You have to fight gravity a bit and I can only imagine that making it stay in place until it is mounted all the away around and you can close the lid is difficult. I have remounted the bottom gasket once (came lose but could reused). I used high temp silicon glue and to me it seemed the silicon didn't have much holding power until cured.
