Broken ceramic lid

Pants · March 2012

So I knocked the little ceramic lid cover (smoke hole plug? Not sure of the technical term) off my egg while taking my cover off. Shattered into three pieces. I think I could glue it, but the wife is concerned about the heat and glue dripping on the food. Can/should I order a replacement? If so, where?

Do you mean the "rain cap" if so JB Weld it up, and keep cookin'!

You are now an Offical Egghead. Most of us have one or two.

JB Weld works perfectly! Worked well when I cracked my platesetter leg.

That lid would never be on the grill when food is.

You can just keep the metal one on all the time... I don't even own one of the ceramic ones...

Agreed. Mine broke and I have not bothered to replace it.

I never use the metal one on any of the three (was four) eggs. I use the the ceramic ones all the time. Just more careful now.

$32.95 at dealer...been there / done that / got the t-shirt/ and I think I got a whole lot more if you know what I mean.....

I broke mine too when I was pulling my cover. Got me a new one just last week at the dealer.

yeah this came close to happening to me. Now that it has gasket on it its a much tighter fit it is not going anywhere. I hope

Howdy, Stranger!
