    If it cracks and it's just a limited run can we just expect no replacements or warranty support ?
    The original Chiminea only came with a 1 year warrant.  The ceramics are also about half the thickness of an egg.

    Oh man, that is a killer idea!  I'm not real interested in a chimanea, but a pizza oven is an idea I could get behind.

    Or maybe a RTICminea for half off? (Of course you'll have to live with being labeled a scumbag for the rest of your forum life).

    I'm far from bitter bud, just making a point.
    One would think the judger, and not the judgee, would be most bitter.

    As I said early on I wonder how much, when and how they will be sold&delivered all of which will decide whether or not they move forward with that limited production. It will be interesting to see how many of the "count me in's" add up to folks plunking down the hard cash. The initial chiminea product was a loser for BGE and their dealers and those memories don't fade fast so my bet is it will be priced to turn a profit and done on a pre-sold basis.

    Why rehash a loser, but do nothing to upgrade their grill offering lineup.......baffling.

    The "give it a rest" response is sooo generic, you're smarter than that bro.
    I believe you, and @Eggcelsior, another judger, are fellow RNs.  Have to admit, that kind of, caught me off guard.
    @Eggcelsior could chime in any time, it is welcomed, but I doubt he has the balls to do so.  

    Honesty is the best policy IMO.

    I liked the chimenea from BGE when they were available years ago, but it seems as if they were a fad that has moved on.
