I believe they are around $365.00

if he is the origional purchaser he should be able to get it replaced, its not worth much if the base is cracked

@fishlessman ... He knocked the damn thing over so no warranty.

No harm in trying to take it off his hands for free. I have heard of folks repairing cracks, even piecing together broken domes and bases, with JB weld. If you do that, high temp cooks would not be a good idea, but for low and slow smoking it should be just fine. I wouldn't pay too much for it though if it is broken.#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX.

Personally I would not even bother, as fishlessman said, it is basically worthless.

How big's the crack? If it's a hairline its one thing, if you see daylight through it runXLBGE, LBGE, MBGE, SMALL, MINI, 2 Kubs, Fire Magic Gasser

I might pay $100 bucks for it. Live with it if I could, otherwise try to break it clean in two and JB weld it. Plan C would be buy a new base, or find on from some unlucky guy that cracked his dome.

Buying a new base is the best option.
Cooking with a cracked or repaired base is a hazard to have a red hot fire fall out the bottom where it sits. If you happen to be standing there with a hose...no problem at all. If you aren't there, then this is where you could have a problem that isn't worth risking. IMHO

I was able to pick up a cracked medium egg. I was quoted about 300 to replace the base.
I decided to use some JB Weld, which is non toxic, and have had really no trouble. -
If everything else is intact, 300-400 is not a bad deal for a used large. Especially if all you have to do is buy a new base.

@mrcookingnurse .... I talked to the guy Friday and he was supposed to call me back that evening and I haven't heard nothing back. Probably a good thing.
