Fired up the BGE to 600 degrees, put on the pizza and at EXACTLY 10 minutes POP...my tile under the egg cracked. Thought I had lost my egg... Picture is not focused well, sorry.

That does get the heart a beating.

Yeah, you need something stouter than just a tile under that guy:
A paver is cheap, and provides a better heat shield to boot. -
Use a paving stone with no pattern in it.
Go for a smooth solid piece.
The pattern groves are just faults waiting to crack.
Happy Egging. -
I use actual fire brick designed to insulate fire places and forges. It works very well.
-
I vote for a paver as well. That thin floor tile just cant handle it. It barely can handle the weight of the egg.

Yep. I have cracked a couple of sheets of slate on my table. So I don't replace them any more. But it gets hot underneath your cooker and you need something substantial beneath it.The Naked Whiz

Yep, you need a paver stone at least 1" thick. That thin tile won't work, as you found out.

It lasted for a couple hundred cooks...but we just got back with a 1.5" concrete paver to install for tomorrow night's rib cook.Visit my blog, dedicated to my Big Green Egg Recipies at http://www.bigtsbge.blogspot.com You can also follow my posts on FaceBook under the name Keep On Eggin' or the link http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Keep-On-Eggin/198049930216241

Couple a hundred cooks... that's less than a year.
