Should I submit a warranty claim for this cracked LBGE base?

derka123

What do you guys think, should I keep on cooking or get a replacement base on order?

Dobie

File claim

Lit

As long as you aren’t cooking on a flammable surface I would do both.

Uhhhhh. Yeah. Or grill in flip flops and throw caution to the wind.

I am so close to putting my xl on craigslist. The ace I went to the other day to get Rockwood had the Weber summit charcoal with table on sale for $1599 and I’m so sick of replacing bases. It’s gonna happen real soon kinda sad it’s my last egg left. This post may have pushed me over the edge I am off tomorrow may just go get it.

I'm with ya, Lit. This is the second base in two years I've had develop this type of crack, definitely a PITA.

File a claim and keep an eye on it until the new one arrives.

The large isn’t bad it sucks to swap the xl base by yourself.

That thing is awesome. I think if I started today I would get a summit.

See I looked at them the other day and got the exact opposite feeling for it. It felt extremely cheap to me. The only thing I kind of liked was the charcoal box. It felt like an over sized weber performer with an extra layer of metal insulation.

Another good reason to not go larger than the LBGE.

Or better yet, everyone should just get an MM.

I had that same feeling when it first came out but I have come around. It’s air insulated like a yeti cup  btw (not metal) .

Yeah it’s pretty sweet. I wanted it then I saw it in person and now I really want it. I brought it up to her a couple times tonight so she knows it’s coming. I’d give tomorrow a 50/50 right now.

I have two large eggs, a blackstone and a weber jumbo joe. I am really thinking about the same summit and get accessories for it and roll with that, my jumbo, and my griddle. 

The weber is the best burger cooker ever. Made some good steaks on it last weekend.

I have two larges, i think the only part not warranted between them is the fire rings and one dome. Larges crack too

larges have problems too sometimes. But it seems to me I've red of more XLs with cracked bases.

I hear ya. When I got the jumbo joe after selling my mini and mini max that was the only grill I used for probably 2 months. Fun grill to cook on. I really only need the summit for smaller cooks I have a backwoods fatboy vertical for larger cooks. I wonder if the xl adjustable rig will fit in the summit?

Just pay some Amish dude to come do the swap, that's what I do.
