OOPS,

FrozenEgg.jpg

Actually I was luck this time, the egg still opened.

A few weeks ago it was completely frozen shut. I place two fire starters down in the lower vent and took off the lid. The firestarters lit the remaining lump from the prior cook and twenty minutes later the lid opened.

I don't know what was going on with the sideways icicle in the lower left.

    I leave them on for possible transport. Is that a no-no? Still has white tie wrap around it holding it in place too.

    Why would you need them for transport? They are to be removed, per assembly instructions. No idea what happens if you leave them on.

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    Well they are only there to prevent the hinge from slapping open on the owner before final assembly. I suppose it's a good idea to have them handy in case you need to take off the lid/band. I would have thought they might melt on a good high heat pizza cook though. I have mine taped under the bottom of my table top in case I need to remove the lid.
