Gutted & sick to my stomach

I will say thank you to those that have chimed in. I figured that once it was cracked that was the end of it. After going back to look at it, the dome appears fairly unscathed. So hopefully I can buy just another base (which looks to be about $400). Honestly wouldn't have thought about doing that, so thank you.
Talk about a HUGE learning experience... -
I still have burn marks on my shoulder from a "save" I made to my then HOT egg... (It was worth it!) :-) Sorry brother!

Oh that's a bummer.

Glad to hear that you may "only" need a new base. After the bad timing of having this happen (not that there is a good time) hopefully you are due for some good karma right around the corner.Stillwater, MN

How did the firebox and fire ring hold up? Those can be put back like a puzzle and still work if not in a million pieces.
Where are you located? Maybe some other eggers might have extra pieces around the garage that might help you out."The pig is an amazing animal. You feed a pig an apple and it makes bacon. Let's see Michael Phelps do that" - Jim Gaffigan

Not a great sight to see. I have mine in a challenger table on the deck. Never felt safe moving it each time I wanted to use it moving it over the 2x6's.

pwshine said:Ladeback69 said:As others say, pull not push. Also you said you were moving it out to cook ribs. Is it on your patio or in your garage? I only move my egg when I am cleaning my patio, other then that it doesn't move. This does suck and hopefully your dealer will give you a break on the next one.XL, WSM, Coleman Road Trip Gas GrillKansas City, Mo.

Looking forward to the crack and ralley!

Sorry to see. You don't need a handler, you just need to pull by the hinge. I've moved 'em many times.
