Haven't used the Egg since my pizza disaster last weekend. Here's picture of the cracked Egg
So I went to check it today - first chance I've had since it cooled due to work. I rubbed across and a lot of soot wiped off. As bad as it looked, I couldn't feel a thing. No crack felt. So I did a clean burn, brushed off the inside of the top, and am left with this:
A much smaller crack, and I can't feel a thing - it's smooth as can be. Something I should worry about?

I think eventually it will most likely crack more do to heating and cooling .but i'd still cook on it and get the dome replace with the warrantyLarge Big Green Egg , XL Big Green Egg . BBQ Guru, Weber Kettle, Weber Q grill for road trips.

The crack probably gets more or less prominent depending on how hot it is. Make use of the warranty and swap it it out.#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX.

Something I should worry about? Only the amount of adult beverage before sitting down to type about this BIG crack )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.

Yup. It's only expansion and shrinkage, eggs don't have re Mercedes ceramics that heal. It will eventually break. Use the warranty.caliking said:The crack probably gets more or less prominent depending on how hot it is. Make use of the warranty and swap it it out.
