Select Band & Hinge Kit:

Explore several features that EGGheads really like on the Big Green EGG band & hinge replacement kit.

Smooth Open & Close Motion:

The biggest benefit and most significant improvement is the smooth and effortless motion of the dome. The innovative spring design reduces the effective weight of the dome, making it very easy to open & close. 

Quick Alignment Adjustments;

Another advantage is the ability to easily correct for dome overbite and underbite. With just a couple simple steps, you can achieve the ideal alignment. The ratcheting wrench we include free makes the process even faster.

Discount on Replacement Gasket:

Replacing the dome gasket has never been easier. By removing the handle, loosening the back dome bolt, and sliding out the dome, you can easily set the dome upside down on cardboard and replace the gasket. No need to work upside down like other kamados. The two free wrenches we include are handy for this task as well.

Free Wrenches with One Big Plus:

Each kit comes with the two required wrenches for the kit installation. The wrench for the multiple acorn nuts is a 12-pt. ratcheting wrench. It will make assembly much easier and should not mar the nuts' painted finish like metal open-end & box wrenches. You will appreciate the better look using the ratcheting wrench.

Keep the wrenches in the toolbox as dedicated EGG wrenches. Then, every couple of months you can do a quick check to make sure the nuts are snug.

Key Tip - Measure Before Ordering:

Before ordering, measure the diameter of your Big Green EGG's cooking grid. The grid is what the food sits on. Do not measure any part of the actual EGG. Compare your measurement to the diameters listed alongside the EGG grills below.

This is the easiest way to ensure you get the right size band kit. Trust us on this, as you would not believe the number of folks who think their Big Green EGG is one size, but it is actually another size. 

Big Green EGG Band Kits;

  • XXL, 2XLarge w/ Anti-Sway – 29" diameter grid,
  • XL EGG – 24" diameter grid,
  • Large EGG – 18.25" diameter grid, 
  • Medium EGG – 15" or 15.75" diameter grid,
  • Small or MiniMax EGG – 13" diameter grid,
  • Mini EGG – 9.5" or 10" diameter grid.

Note: Due to their special use and packaging, Band Kits are non-returnable.

Ideal Time to Change-Out the Gasket:

During the band kit installation is the easiest time to replace the gasket on the base and dome. We carry Aramid Nomex, peel and stick gaskets at fantastic prices. The gaskets are USA and European made, not Chinese made. If ordered, the gasket will ship in the Band Kit Box.

great service

Whether I'm looking for accessories or maintenance items I always hit the CGS site - they always have quality parts and items and prices are always fair. This purchase was for upgrading the hinge and band assembly and a new gasket - was shipped promptly so I had it ready for a Sat repair and Sunday usage. Nice that they put it together as a kit so if you're tool kit at home is minimal they have you covered!

Impressed!

I ordered the replacement hinge kit, and when reminded that when replacing the hinge that its an ideal time to replace the gasket, ordered that too! The items arrived in a reasonable time and well packaged.
I have to say, I was impressed. The thought that went in to supplying you with everything you need to replace the hinge AND the gasket was incredible. Parts, tools, extra razor blades, you needed it it was in the kit!! Well done!! I HIGHLY recommend this store!!
