Well, I managed to nuke my gasket. I fired the Egg up and let it ramp up to about 550 for a nice cleaning. It was running for about 30 minutes at that temp and I saw smoke coming out of the sides. I ran over to the Egg and opened it (slowly) and parts of the gasket were liquified and the front edge was fusing, pulling the top gasket off the rim.
As many problems as people have with these gaskets, I would think a design solution would be in order.
For now, I've managed to squeeze my burned up gasket back in place, and it will do for now, but i'm going to have to replace it. I sent a note to BGE; let's see what they say.
