    My wife dropped ours a few years ago on accident. Unfortunately it was too shattered to bandage up. So I give her crap anytime she's outside when I need to snuff out the fire with the daisy wheel. My wife's response, "I dropped and cracked the cap but I recall you running over the large egg with your truck!". I have no comeback for that. She wins
    I'm fairly new here. You ran over a LBGE with a truck? 
    When I was done using the egg I rolled it into the garage behind my truck without much thought. I planned on moving it the next morning before work. Not thinking I went and grabbed a Coke in the beer fridge that's in the front of the garage before work the next morning. This threw me off as I didn't walk behind my truck like I always do. I went from the front of the garage to my drivers side door. Big mistake. I jump into my truck and start backing out of the garage like normal and the next thing I hear is a loud clunk. I thought maybe my driveshaft dropped or my muffler went. I walk around my truck and see the egg in pieces all over the driveway. Fortunately it was my spare used $200 large egg. Not fun starting out your work day that way though. So now I catch crap from my wife. =)


    Bet that took a whole tube of JB Weld.
    The only salvageable ceramic piece was the platesetter with a broken foot. That's going to be turned into a heat defector once I order the woo for my small egg.

    I got lucky, mine only chipped in a few places. I've since purchased Smokewares for all of mine and put the originals away. They are basically takeing up space now.

    To clarify, just prior to running over your Egg, you grabbed "a Coke"? I think you misspelled "some coke".  ;)

    My question is how do you have room for coke in your beer fridge?

    It's for the whiskey! =)
