    Fire ring should be covered under warranty without issue.  The plate setter depends on age - 3 year warranty coverage.

    The plate setter (conveggtor...cringe) is covered for 3 years.   Fire ring has a lifetime warranty so you are definitely covered there.

    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    Any context on how that happened?  Did they crack during a cook or did you drop it?  If the latter I would guess that it wouldn't be covered.

    A broken plate setter is always excellent rationalization for getting an Adjustable Rig. I, uh, know a guy that went that route.

    Rational is not a word that can be used with any seriousness on this forum. even my wife knows when I start with---"Well, I have been thinking........"

    How about a cast iron plate setter?  More expensive than ceramic one, but should last a lifetime.  Several places sell them ... here's one place (with a 10% off code that ends today) that sells them: http://smokeware.com/collections/grill-accessories/products/plate-setter?variant=1173130543

    PS ... the smoke stain down in the break of your plate documents that it wasn't dropped and broken, but that it developed a heat crack that slowly spread across the width.  Now if it was just less than three years old.

    Why should a CI PS last forever? It's CI. CI cracks with too much heat and can break if dropped. I have a Dutch oven and two CI grids to prove it (the heat part anyway, never dripped one).

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!
