Rubber Gasket for Bull Horns?

I assembled my RT700 this weekend and saw the bull horns had some sort of rubber gasket attached to the base of the horns when unpacking (see attached image). Are we supposed to include these during installation? I did not, as I thought they would melt against the drum. The user manual and assembly instructions say nothing about them.

I too used them in the assembly of my Bull
Have done many 500+ Cooks and no issue with heat on the Gaskets
 
Thanks everyone! Got a response from RecTeq and they said the gaskets aren't really necessary and I would run the risk of stripping the threads on the horns if I disassembled them and installed the gasket. Good to know.

Stripping horn threads sounds painful 😁
 
Had one of mine melt but it was because of a grease fire in the drip pan. Planned to replace it but if it will strip the threads then to heck with it.
