Installed on lg bge and there is still a small gap at the front of my lid because the seal is too thick by the hinge to close. suggestions?

How small a gap are we discussing? may have to Adjust your hinges, but first do a empty, no food mid temp Fire for a few hours and see how much the burn in helps settle things in.

You didn't overlap the material I'm hoping and butt spliced or end jointed the gasket material, having top half and bottom half joints offset from one another

I agree that you will likely need to align the lid. I did this with the help of the youtube videos on my egg. It is not difficult. Good Luck!

Overlap the gasket material when installing and then cut through both thicknesses with a razor blade. Peel off the excess from each piece back to the cut.

Follow the BGE instructions on how to align and adjust the lid. Essentially, it's a matter of loosening a few nuts/bolts so everything sits properly, then tightening them. Thera era lots of youtube videos on adjusting the BGE lids. I had to do the same after changing from the thinner felt to the Nomex.

Mine does not fit snug, but there is no gap. You won't get the proper temperature if it doesn't fit right. There should be a rubber gasket on the edge of the lid.

Reinstall it again. Then adjust the tension nobs to tighten the gate. As it tightens, it will close the gap in the middle where it is supposed to click and stay secure. Leave about 1/4 inch in the latch so it can easily open and close automatically when you open it in either direction. when it closes, it will be a secure fit. I have one, and I just love mine. Read the instructions and take your time, you can do it, it will work out for you. D. Dellapenna

Make sure the gasket is seated correctly and there is nothing in the lid channel. Otherwise it should just drop on and you twist to seal.

Sorry, I have the same issue and didn't know what to do, so I glued the one cup that had cracked at the top seam...which kept the liquid out of the inside gap...other than that, they keep things hot longer, so I keep it with the cracks and all.

There is a small placement hole that slips over my cooker's tab that makes the gasket align correctly. Hope this helps.

I had the same problem. It has to do with the lid being secure and the latches in the proper position. Try taking the lid off and putting it back on then secure the latches as close to the front of the unit as possible. Takes a few times to get the hang of how to secure the latches. Cheers, Jeff.

Not sure if you got my answer to your question, but no, the LG does not fit in the Spirit. 4" to long and it is to tall to close the lid over. The depth is fine.

I haven't had that problem but this is how I get it closed. First, every few uses I use olive oil around only the angled edge of the pot that contacts the lid (as per the manual) I only use a little oil, almost wiping it all away. I loosen all of the wing nuts and then set the lid on the pot looking at how much space is between the two all the way around leveling this out as much as you can (it's never perfect). Then I flip up all the wing nuts into their notches. I turn one only until it contacts the lid, not pushing the lid down yet. Then I do the one directly across from it continuing like this until all are making contact, always going across from the last one I tightened. Then I start over with one tightening it most of the way, then the one across from it and so on. Basically I keep tightening across the lid and around until they are finger tight. Now, when my husband helps me can I always have seal failures and problems because he is strong and thinks everything needs to be tightened as tight as he can get get them and not so with the lid just hand tight by me and I am not strong. Now, if the canner is getting up to pressure I personally wouldn't worry about it. Mine may have a little bubble or sputter here and there and I don't notice it if it comes up to pressure. Hope this helps, it sounds very complicated when I typed it out but it isn't really when I do it just a system I follow.

There is a very slight gap between my doors. If you adjust the hinges you can get it to where it is not noticed.

Mine became loose, as well. I carefully removed the gasket, then placed a rubber band on the lid. Lastly, I carefully placed the original gasket on top of the rubber band. It now has a tighter fit than when I first purchased it.

I didn't have any trouble with mine. One end has a sort of ridge on it where it's put together and the other end is the one that opens. It is hard to tell which end opens. I would try several or wet your fingers and place one between them and sort of push in opposite directions so you can see if it really is sealed together. Hope this helps.

It has a rubber gasket. The side holes for the hinge wire are too big and not in the right location. Seal is not tight, these will leak air!

if you look carefully on the side of battery slot you have a plastic cover that you can open.Open that and take the line through that and close the lid!hope it helps you!

So far... I have not had this problem with my (4) keepers. When I just looked at one of mine, I noticed that there is a groove in the seal that must fit OVER an inner "ridge" in the top of the lid. It kind of 'snaps' onto that ridge when it is on right. You may not be getting the groove on the ridge properly. If that does not correct the problem, then you may want to return it for a new one. I have used one of mine for almost 2 years and have had no problems.

I have the same problem. The rubber gasket on the lid expands causing it to jam up when you try to screw it on. unfortunately they don't just sell the replacement gaskets, you have to buy a new lid.I bought a replacement lid for mine and I rotate between the two and that helps. I'll use one lid for a couple weeks until it starts getting tight and then I'll switch to the other lid. This gives the rubber gasket on the lid not in use time to shrink back down to normal size.
