Why a fiberglass gasket?
Fiberglass, or fiberglass is incredibly durable. Unlike the traditional felt which our Classic models (and many other brands of kamados) are equipped with, fiberglass lasts many times longer. It closes better and finer, and looks tougher too! As you may understand, this is a piece of technology that is a lot more expensive than felt, this price we calculate in the total price of the Pro Kamados.
