    I wouldn't buy it...
    It's probably not a good ceramic 
    No warranty
    Could be hard to find parts

    Looks to me to be a Imperial Kamado. Kinda hard to tell. They started importing them in the early 60s.

    It's an early version BGE, the  ones that Ed Fischer started importing back in the day. It is made of clay and it won't withstand high temps

    It takes bird shiiiitt pretty good though. If I was trying to sell it I would at least clean it up.

    I'm no longer amazed how some people have no idea that if they clean things up, they might sell quicker and for mo $.  I once went and looked at a used pick-up truck, ash tray was over-flowing with cigarette butts, vehicle was filthy inside & out.  I didn't bother to make an offer or even ask to test drive it.

    I have 2 cracked XL bases. If a cracked mini base is worth $50, I think mine should be worth $150. Call me if you want them. :smiley:

    Sounds like you guys are hoarders if you're stashing cracked egg bases....
