I was cleaning up the mini yesterday and did a burn clean. Funny I mentioned in griffins threads they made me nervous. Well cleaning off my old gasket the mini is cracked. Disappointed and a bit nervous how the dealer we will handle this.
What could I have done wrong? I did burn clean, then used it for brats...
Mini is 8 months old or so.

You did nothing wrong. It's made to get that hot. If its new call the dealer. You'll get a new free warrenty replacement part._______________________________________________XLBGE

Called dealer , said pics or bring by and then in distributor hands. Sounds promising.... good.

Same thing happened to my XL: base, fire grate, fire ring. Sent pics on a Wednesday, picked up replaced stuff on Monday. Lifetime warrenty is legit.

Pics sent , use in the meantime Safe? Checked all other parts seem fine. Will they just give me a base?

Wow, that stinks. I would imagine you'd have no trouble with getting a new base under warranty.XL, Large, Small, Mini Eggs, Shirley Fabrication 24x36 Patio, Humphrey's Weekender, Karubecue C-60, MAK 1-Star General, Hasty Bake Gourmet, Santa Maria Grill, Webers: 14" WSM, 22.5" OTG, 22.5" Kettle Premium, WGA Charcoal, Summit S-620 NG

Cracked 8 month old egg I can stop the craigslist searches I do at times as the case for new and under warranty has been made. Loud and clear!Seattle, WA

Bummer Skinny. You will probably get just the base. Lots of old cracked vase have been recycled as planter.Go over to Bubba Tim's website he has a very good video about replacing gaskets and removing the band. Just make sure you have some plastic zip ties handy.Large, small and mini now Egging in Rowlett Tx

No, I would not use it in that condition. JMO

I bought two of my Eggs second hand and I fear this happening to me and not having a warranty to fall back on. I'm sorry about your crack problem.Flint, Michigan

Couldn't resist, took some precautions and did some rib eyes. It hung in there.Seattle, WA

Skinny for the first time in years I disagree with Smitty. Use it till your new one gets here. Bet it will last several years in fact.Salado TX & 30A FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Plus a couple Pit Boss Pellet Smokers.

If worried till replaced. Go to big box type store and buy a big wire hose clamp and put that around it. LawnRanger has one of his Minis like that for years and he travels with it.Salado TX & 30A FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now).

Yeah, I will use lightly. Got it up to 450 no issues last night. It should hang in there until replaced. Just love this little thingSeattle, WA

The base of one of my larges has been cracked for six months. I still cook on it weekly with no problems. I've just been too lazy to pull it out of the table and replace it. It's gonna make a great pot for a patio tomato!!
