Cracked egg

Well, my egg broke. I repaired it with some Rutland gasket cement. Hope it holds.

Original buyer with warranty, no reason to hope it holds. It’s replaced free.Thank you,DarianGalveston Texas

Was it from mishap of some sort? Or did it just crack?

To throttle it back a bit, the fire box is a distance away from a broken BGE although the BGE is OOC w/o it. However, I'm guessing it could hold its functional shape until the new one arrives. And yes it is definitely a warranty item and there should be no issues with your dealer honoring the claim. FWIW-Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

Current firebox/ring situation. Still cooking as I await a warranty replacement. -
Looks like his fire bowl and base cracked

One of my eggs does not have a warranty, I used JB Weld ExtremeHeat to patch its flaws. Cracked base, fire ring, and fire box. It works best when there is a clean break and you can get the material between the two pieces. In some cases I just put a coat over the cracks. The parts that were separated have held together after two cooks so far. The first curing one was just keeping it around 600 to cure it. The second was just some sausages.

Metallic repair paste, huh? Ive never used it. No worries about off-gassing or the compound affecting food on the egg?
Out of curiosity, has anyone tried using refractory cement or something similar to fix busted fire rings or boxes? Or would it not hold under the stress of removing the parts from time to time? -

thank you guys for your comments
I cannot replace parts under warranty, I'm in Mexico and different warranty conditions apply.
the firebox is a no-issue to me because it serves its purpose broken or not, my concern is the integrity of the base, so I hope the gasket cement stops the crack from spreading or separating completely
first cook done, cement cured and lets keep on bbq'ing
I'll revive this thread if changes arise.
regards
