Fiberglass gasket for kamado

The seal is an essential element for the proper functioning of your kamado. It ensures the airtightness between the bowl and the lid to maintain a stable temperature, precisely control the air inlets, and optimise charcoal consumption.

Over time and with repeated heating cycles, the original seal can wear out, flatten, crack, or lose its effectiveness. Replacing it allows you to regain the initial performance of your kamado and improve the quality of cooking.

WHY REPLACE THE SEAL OF YOUR KAMADO?

A worn seal causes unwanted air leaks that disrupt temperature control and increase fuel consumption.

Replacing the seal allows you to:

• Regain optimal airtightness.
• Better control cooking temperatures.
• Reduce charcoal consumption.
• Stabilise long cooks and smoking.
• Improve the overall performance of the kamado.

FIBREGLASS: A MORE EFFECTIVE SOLUTION THAN FELT

Unlike traditional felt seals, fibreglass offers better resistance to high temperatures, humidity, and wear.

BETTER HEAT RESISTANCE

Fibreglass more easily withstands repeated temperature rises generated by high-temperature cooking and pizzas.

LONGER LIFESPAN

The fibreglass tubular seal retains its thickness and sealing properties for longer. It compresses less quickly than a traditional felt seal.

OPTIMAL AIRTIGHTNESS

Its tubular shape allows for better compression when closing the dome, thus limiting air leaks and heat loss.

WHEN TO CHANGE THE SEAL OF YOUR KAMADO?

The frequency of replacement directly depends on the use of the barbecue.

OCCASIONAL USE

For leisure use a few times a month, the seal can maintain its performance for several years.

REGULAR USE

For frequent use, especially during long cooking sessions or high temperatures, periodic replacement may be necessary to maintain a perfect seal.

SIGNS OF WEAR

Replacement is advised when:

• The seal is flattened.
• The seal is peeling off.
• Cracks appear.
• The lid is no longer perfectly airtight.
• Charcoal consumption increases abnormally.
• Temperatures become more difficult to stabilise.

A MORE ECONOMICAL AND PRECISE COOKING

An effective seal helps retain heat inside the kamado and optimises air circulation. You consume less charcoal while benefiting from better cooking consistency.

Whether you are grilling, cooking at low temperatures, smoking, or making pizzas, good sealing directly contributes to the performance of your barbecue.
