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 - handy to the EGG. 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. Plus, CGS Gaskets are cheaper than OEM Big Green EGG gaskets.

Complete Kit & Gasket Install Time: It's about a two-to-three beer process and not difficult!
