Join us today as we fix one of the most common issues on the big green egg... the infamous overbite. The dome of a big green egg is the thing we work the most with and with all that opening, closing, and handling it tends to create what we call a dome overbite. It is a very easy thing to fix and in this video, we will show you all you need to know about fixing a big green egg overbite.
As many of you know, about 8 years ago big green egg changed the way hinges work on the grill and this video is made for those with the old version of the grill. But if you are a proud recent owner of a new big green egg don't worry, we are teaching you that too.

Finally, a clear explanation of adjusting the BGE lid to base fit. Thanks.

@FOGOcharcoal 2 месяца назад

You are welcome!

@jseal39560 Год назад

Here's an added tip. If you are like me and have neglected your egg for a while, the part where you push on the hinge and the top slides forward might not do anything. Spray a little WD40 on all of the hinge moveable joints and then use a crescent wrench to attach to the flat bar at the top of your hinge and use it as a lever to push forward. All the added leverage makes it simple. You could use vice grips or channel locks or something else, but those have teeth that may scratch the paint on the hinge, whereas the crescent wrench is smooth and does not scratch.

Excellent stuff Jimbo, thanks for the tip!

As an orthodontist and BGE user, I thoroughly enjoyed this video. My egg is 10 years old and I just replaced the gasket for the first time :-(. After listening to the video, I feel more confident about doing some orthodontics on my egg. Great job.

@kitbrewer1663 Год назад

Love my green egg but I wish they’d sell you the tools you need to change gasket when you buy it. I don’t have a damned 1/2 inch deep socket attachment. Used a wrench. Pain in the ass. And when you loosen bolts to move dome the guide holes on one side match but not on the other side. Don’t think older models were designed for thick gaskets.

@FOGOcharcoal Год назад

I agree with the wrench comment, it sure is. You can buy a socket in any home improvement store for very little $

@juansipin7337 2 года назад

I just changed my gasket with Rutland same as yours. I have an underbite in my egg. It has a lot of smoke leaking out of my egg. I hope this fix everything. Thanks for the video

@FOGOcharcoal 2 года назад

@Ray_Here 2 года назад

Great video. My egg is about 10 years old so it needs some maintenance. I still have a little overbite but it’s much better. I also bought a Thermoworks signals and billows which I am testing as I write this. In one of your videos you mentioned that the egg thermometer could be as much as 20° lower than the grill. In my case it’s 70° lower. I’m going back to your video about how to calibrate the egg thermometer. Thanks for all your videos. Much appreciated! One more thing. My Fogo charcoal arrived today. I’ll let you know what I think.

@FOGOcharcoal 2 года назад

@cfoskeeter 2 года назад

Thanks for the info, great video. My egg has an underbite and I followed your directions. All went well, until it was time to tighten the bolts. When I did, in the order you recommend, the top moved right back into the same position it was in when I started. I tried it several times, and always the same result. Any suggestions?

@FOGOcharcoal 2 года назад

Hmmm, I'm not sure Keith, I have not encountered that. Maybe try in a different order??

@jellis6466 26 дней назад

I have the same issue. I can get it all lines up but the final screws pull it back into being offset after lifting. I took my springs off and hinges and noticed when band is where it should be that my hinge doesn’t line up on the holes. I’m thinking mine is just slightly bent from over the years. I got it a little closer after bending hinge and adjusting bands slightly off but will look into a new hinge/lift. Supposedly some replacement ones are better built than the original that came on it.

@RnBar 2 года назад

I figured out my earlier issue of getting the rear of my lid to seal better. I just loosened the bottom band and pushed it down a little more. I was over thinking it.

@FOGOcharcoal 2 года назад

Man oh man Randy, I was actually going to suggest that but figured you'd already tried that! LOL, glad you were able to figure it out sir.

@richardrollins6069 2 года назад

Great tutorial Ron. I think I need another review. Can you come by my house and show me on my BGE?

I would love to do that Richard. It would be my honor to come cook with you my friend.

@ericperkins3078 8 месяцев назад

I just got the LetzQ rotisserie kit for my medium egg and was having a little bit of sealing issue so made your adjustments. I also decided to replace the gaskets at the same time which, of course, reduced the clearance for the rotisserie kit. Is there any way, other than moving the bands around, to temporarily increase the space between the lid and base to accommodate a rotisserie? The hinge adjustments (old hinge, like yours) seem only intended to increase or decrease drag on the hinge.

@FOGOcharcoal 8 месяцев назад

That is a really good question Eric. I am not familiar with the fit of it so I wouldn't want to simply assume how to do it.

@willemvansanten2976 Год назад

Thanks a lot, this helped a lot with the underbite i've been working around for years now. :) Needed a new gasket and of course the dome pushed it right off again. Question, now that the underbite is solved, I noticed it also has a little bit of a 'sidebite'. Is this also easily fixed? If not, I'll probably manage. Greetings

@FOGOcharcoal Год назад

Hey William, are you the guy that posted about the underbite on Reddit? The side bite should be able to be fixed with some adjustments as well. Not too sure as I have never encountered it myself. keep me posted.

@willemvansanten2976 Год назад

@@FOGOcharcoal Hi, thanks for your response. That's someone else, i've only just watched your video on the subject and that's all i needed. Very clear instructions and also fun to watch. Keep up the great work, i subscribed. I'll go fiddle a bit and try to sort out the sidebite. Greetings

@MyPawesomeFrenchie Год назад

As soon as I tighten down the bolts. It throws the hole lid off again. Very strange. Got any tips on that ?

@jimmayors2315 4 месяца назад

Curious, was that a Large or Medium BGE you worked on? Looks like a Medium, but I'm not sure. My Medium has only one spring (came that way already assembled), so I'm wondering if I'm missing a spring somehow. Seems to counter-balance well, but I have some big "underbite"

@danschaefer2584 5 месяцев назад

I tried your adjustment for the underbite but when I tried to twist the hinge to correct the underbite I could not shift the top dome. What else can I try?

@FOGOcharcoal 5 месяцев назад

Maybe everything was not loose enough or you did not have everything loosened that needed to be loosened? It should work if everything is ready.

@cielosinluna Год назад

I did everything that you mentioned, but I still have the underbite. Does that mean I should buy new rigns? I did the process twice.

@FOGOcharcoal Год назад

Hmmmm, that is very odd. I'd try checking with your local BGE dealer to see if they have any ideas. It is important to make sure that nothing is shifting when tightening everything

@upnorth1955 Год назад

Are you going to change the gaskets on your other eggs to the aftermarket ones?

@FOGOcharcoal Год назад

You know, I am not really sure. I actually need to change it on my MiniMax and have been debating. They definitely both have their merits....

@RnBar 2 года назад

I have tried adjusting the lid on my large BGE many times and I don't seem to be able to get the rear of the dome to seal good enough. Testing it with a dollar bill there is no resistance in back, but in the front its perfect and also aligned. Please help. Thank you Randy
