i am interested in purhcasing an egg, but i dont have a covered patio.
it would be exposed to the elements! is this a problem? would it crack in sudden temp. changes? i would not want to invest the money only to screw it up. thanks in advance.

    frank muscarello,
    Cast aside your fears my friend your worries are for naught!
    My Large Green Egg has been sitting out on my deck winter and summer and everything in between for 7 years. I have a table and over the whole thing I have a cover. The only maintaince, other than cleaning it out when it needs it, is I spray a little WD40 on the springs once or twice a year It's an older model). Other than that it's ready to go whenever I'm ready. Jump in and ask your questions once you've bought it this is the place to come to ask all of the other questions about how to do everything you want.

    frank muscarello,[p]My eggs are 8 years old and have resided on an uncovered exposed deck since day one. I use them all year and they work great. I do use the BGE covers. I live in NJ and get all 4 seasons. Ihave had no problems with the eggs since day one.[p]Spin

    Ditto, I use the BGE cover when not in use. And I store the daisy wheel and put the rain cap on the egg prior to covering.

    Frank,

    I bought a cover about 8 years ago. I think I used it for a week or two and haven't used it since. My large and small are on my deck fully exposed to the weather all the time…absolutely no problems.
