Green Egg owner for 10 years. I have changed bands a few times and always wondered if doing things correctly. Awesome video with practical instructions. Thanks

Thanks for the tutorial. I finally upgraded to the new hinge and zero underbite is a beautiful thing.

I just upgraded my large BGE to the new band system following your method and the supplied instructions. It was a huge help being able to watch your video before attempting it. Great job.

All I can say is thank you!! Your step by step instructions are excellent and I rewound the video or stopped it many times throughout the installation process. If BGE is going to write instructions with an “Ikea” style photo, they need to hire a better artist. Without this video I would have stared at it with zero success.

Hey Jay. Just want to say thanks for your video and how you explained every step. I just got the bands for my 21 year old egg to replace the old, old style bands! I put the bands on using the instructions, but it didn't seem quite right. I didn't use the spacers correctly and left those extra fasteners that go on the front of the bottom band off completely, so that may have been why it leaked smoke. I came to KZread and found your video and have completely re-installed, so fingers crossed, no leaks when I fire it up. Oh, those dimple markers on the top and bottom, I had no idea that was to line the top and bottom half, so I didn't bother lining them up the first time. Thanks again!

Sorry it took so long to get back to you. If it doesn’t leak the first time you use it, I’d probably leave it alone. You’ll be able to fix it at a later adjustment much easier to do then.
