Current Big Green EGG Band & Hinge Kits — Smooth Lift & Alignment, Free Wrenches & Gasket Savings

Restore smooth, reliable dome lift and rock-solid alignment with the newest OEM Big Green Egg Band & Hinge Kit — designed for easier opening, better sealing, and long-term durability.

What EGGheads Love

  • Smooth, effortless lift: Spring-assisted hinge reduces dome weight for easy open/close and quieter operation.
  • Quick, precise alignment: Easily correct overbite or underbite for a perfect seal and even temps.
  • Fast Spring Release: In less than a minute with no tools, you can release the tension on the springs.
  • Fast gasket swap: Release the Springs, remove the handle, loosen the rear dome bolt, slide the dome off, and replace the gasket with the dome resting safely upside down — no awkward angles.
  • Two install wrenches included: One is a 12-point ratcheting wrench that speeds assembly and protects the acorn nuts’ finish.
  • Updated hardware finish: Current kits ship with all black Hardware. The old brass and sliver self-clinch bolts are gone. Instructions may not reflect the hardware update.

Key Tip — Measure Before Ordering

Measure the cooking grid diameter (what your food sits on), not the ceramic. Match your size below to ensure the right kit.

EGG Size Grid Diameter
XXL / 2XL (w/ Anti-Sway) 29"
XL 24"
Large 18.25"
Medium 15" / 15.75"
Small / MiniMax 13"
Mini 9.5" / 10"
Non-returnable: Due to special packaging and sizing, band kits are final sale. Please measure carefully.

Pro Tip: Keep the included wrenches as dedicated EGG tools. A quick snug-check on the acorn nuts every few months keeps everything tight.

Perfect Time to Replace the Gasket

With the band kit off, it’s the easiest time to refresh the dome and base gaskets. We carry USA/EU-made aramid (Nomex®) peel-and-stick gaskets for a reliable, heat-resistant seal.

SAVE SOME CASH — gaskets are discounted when added with your band kit. Not only do you save money, but it all ships together in the same box for maximum convenience.

Complete Kit & Gasket Install Time: About a two-to-three-beer change-out. Not difficult!

When I received box

When I received box, it stated that the band was for "2008 and newer". Before opening, I called and was told there is only one band and it should work. I proceeded to install band on a 2003 egg, no problem. Never have problem with CGS customer service.

Big improvement

Purchased to replace original BGE band and hinge assembly. This kit came complete with everything needed and is such a huge improvement from the original design. The lid operates perfect now.

Like the new design

I lived with the original hinge since new about 20 years ago but it was on the brink of disaster almost falling closed a number of times. I like the new design, was a fairly simple install and great results. Should have done it sooner.

Great Business

I recently purchased a new band for my BGE mini, it came quickly and complete. My mini had been in my garage since hurricane Irma in 17. My original medium has been my go to and in the not to distant future I will be making the update on it as well. They have my business

Not as easy as you think

Directions are a bit dated apparently. You will need a buddy to assist. CGS was great in clarifying instructions.
