    Just remember, a cracked base or dome and you are SOL.
    Odds of finding a replacement are very slim.

    It's probably original. BGE said they were made in very limited numbers in 1998-99.
    The listing stated new band was installed.
    Here is a photo from BGE of the only known, unused Blue BGE that is currently in their BGE Museum. Thanks to Bruce at BGE for all the information and photo...

    A new never used blue egg was on eBay like 5 years back. I believe these were only sold in a couple pool stores in Florida if I remember correctly. I would never buy it cause I'd be scared to use it. There was a gold one I saw recently on craigslist locally that was an original egg also I guess they made like a handful of them at BGE.

    If you purchased it new and the base cracked, would they send you a green base?

    I believe so. There was a guy a couple years ago with a blue/ green egg on the Facebook egghead group.

    You can buy one new.


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

    I bought mine in Florida in that area in that time period.  Posting pics over the years could be challenging because there is always a newbie saying it's not real, painted, a knock off, etc., etc.  Probably why even to this day I'm here only so often.  If it's not green some people can get not so nice.

    When I bought mine it had a dual hinge to open it.  Was a real pain.  I upgraded that to a single hinge you had to manually pull down when the top was open to release and lower the top.  Then I upgraded that to the spring assist.  I've changed the nest twice.  The gasket was changed once.  I upgraded the thermometer to a true temp.  

    All in all I love both my babies.

    Yes.  I own a blue egg!  Call Atlanta if you don't believe me!

    Was the BBE a mistake made in Mexico?  If not, what was the reason for a Blue Egg?
