bbqking103 Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 I have an older 23" model and was wondering what gasket to order. There are four choices: 1) https://komodokamado.com/products/23-ultimate-both-main-outside-gasket-and-inside-silicone-gasket?_pos=11&_sid=6e8f59566&_ss=r - $? 2) https://komodokamado.com/products/23-ultimate-main-gasket-larger-outside-silicone-gasket - $68 3) https://komodokamado.com/products/23-ultimate-new-one-piece-main-gasket - $120 4) https://komodokamado.com/products/23-main-seal-food-grade-silicone-d-gasket - $56 My bottom lid has a 45-degree raised lip where a "D" gasket is installed. I'd appreciate any tips or insight on these choices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5698k Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 https://komodokamado.com/collections/23-ultimate-spare-parts/products/23-ultimate-new-one-piece-main-gasketThis one. My 23 is 13 years old and this one works fine. I’m pretty sure the physical design of the lid/body seal hasn’t changed, and this is the newest design.

bbqking103 Posted April 22 Author Report Share Posted April 22 Thanks for the quick reply. The one-piece looks cool, though I really was wondering about the double gasket as described in #1. 1) https://komodokamado.com/products/23-ultimate-both-main-outside-gasket-and-inside-silicone-gasket?_pos=11&_sid=6e8f59566&_ss=r - $? Seems like that one would be super sealed. Any chance you can post a pic of your 23 so I can confirm the shape of the seal before I order? THanks!

C6Bill Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 I believe it was just older models that used two gaskets. If you have your serial number maybe Dennis can identify the correct gasket for your KK. You might want to give him a call before ordering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrus Posted April 23 Report Share Posted April 23 (edited) With all the collective interest on this I went out and checked mine. Come to find out I have a split gasket, one side attached to the backside of the 90 degree facing refractory wall and the other sitting on the180 flat. So if your confused to which gasket to use when you state you have a 45 degree raised lip, well I would give Dennis a call as C6bill suggested. Give him a call, over the years Dennis has modified the gasket, not sure if based on design of the KK or related performance to the gasket. Reach out, he loves sitting by the phone.

tony b Posted April 23 Report Share Posted April 23 @Tyrus KK-DY5123 But, I "cheated" - it's on the original invoice when I bought it in 2012! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5698k Posted April 23 Report Share Posted April 23 Just a little more info, mine originally came with the single gasket. The next evolution was the additional gasket on the horizontal of the lip. Finally, the one piece version of the two gaskets, which is what i have now. Previous to all this, i believe the gasket was a fiber material.

Expand Paper?! and from 2012, that's a long time ago, something that old would have molded away or turned to dust by now.

bbqking103 Posted April 25 Author Report Share Posted April 25 Does anyone know if the new one-piece gasket includes two seals (one for the 45 degree slope and another for the flat horizontal portion of the lid? The price ($120) seems to indicate the 2x price difference. Though I may be incorrect. -Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DennisLinkletter Posted Sunday at 08:21 AM Report Share Posted Sunday at 08:21 AM The new one-piece replaces the two previous gaskets. The second outside gasket was added for the weight of the 32" lid as a cushion to protect the grill lips from guests that like to slam lids and doors after one too many adult beverages... You can use the new one on all grills that have the 45º section on the lips.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbqking103 Posted Monday at 08:58 PM Author Report Share Posted Monday at 08:58 PM OK, thanks. I don't have a 32" unit but rather just a 23" so I'm assuming this is the one to order, right? - 3) https://komodokamado.com/products/23-ultimate-new-one-piece-main-gasket - $120 -Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
