I need a firebox for a LBGE. Are there any options other than spending $250ish on one from BGE?

One would have to assume from this question that you did not purchase your egg from a dealer?Kirkland, TN2 LBGE, 1 MM

Are they really that expensive? I’ve replaced several under warranty so I’ve never asked the price. Yikes.

I bought my BGE new from a dealer many years ago, maybe 15. The firebox broke in a move that was no fault of bge. It was also tossed out by folks that didn't know the difference. So here I sit with no firebox and the sticker price on a new one hurts, so I'm looking to see if there are any, maybe aftermarket, options that might work.
Thanks, -

may have been hairline cracked before the move. believe me, they are not going to be shocked to hear you had a cracked firebox or ring. I have gone through 4-5 of each and I leave them in until they crumble. They all crack within a few months (if that) of being installed.Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX -
Where are you located? May be someone on here with a warranty part lying around for you. I gave my old boxes and rings to a guy doing a rehab project last year.

The Kamado Joe firebox replacement is $96, shipped. Not sure it fits in the large, but dimensionally they seem exactly the same. It’s the new multi part one too. Cool design.

* At least this has been a fact supported here may times for guys who are rehabbing old eggs which had no warranty just like in your case.

I replaced mine in July. As I bought mine from a friend, I have no warranty. It was $156 delivered to my dealer. My understanding is that this fire box is now warrantied for life.LBGE, PSWOO, 36" Blackstone, MasterBuilt smoke box- Playing with fire in Three Rivers, MI

Thanks, for $150 I'll just get the BGE one. I must have received some bad info.
