Has any one seen this on there egg???

big bob mn

At 600 degrees little white bubbles started coming out of little hair line cracks in the paint.

Creepy!

At 600F I would be sweating also. I have seen, at different times, black, dark brown and grey on my small and large over the years.

How much moisture/rain do you have and how often do you cook? The standard response is going to be cook more often.

Little Steven

big bob mn,


The crazing is normal. Are you sure those boogers are coming out of the egg?

Steve

Richard FL, thanks for letting me know some one else has seen this. I thought I was seeing things. Do you think its anything to be concerned about?

big bob mn

Crazing? Is that the hair-line cracks in the paint? And yes, its like little drops of water coming out. I couldnt show it in the pics, but if you wiped it off it came back as soon as you went over it with a rag.

"Sparky"

That's nothin Bob :woohoo: This egg was unused for a couple months(due to a construction project),and this is what it looked like when I fired it back up :ohmy: It's all better now though

Little Steven

Bob,

I've only seen the ones like Sparky showed above. Maybe that's how the start. The crazing is the little hairline cracks. My twelve year old egg has them and it seems to stop at some point and doesn't hurt anything to the best of my knowledge.

Little Steven

Sparky,

Mebbe we could call them cracklin's

Steve

stike

ain't no paint. that's glass, essentially. ceramic frit that when fired melts and basically becomes glass.

stike

no
it's water that gets in thru the crazing. when it gets hot it expands and needs to come out

Little Steven

stike,

Got to admit, I googled on that ceramic frit thing. :ohmy:

Steve

Gunnar

And serve them with grits or is that too southern for ya'll?

Little Steven

Barry,

We usually do sno-cones with em.

Normal for an uncovered egg with little use. Ceramic is porous and you just boiled out the water.

Beli

Doug......Now I know where they throw all that toxic waste stuff...... :ermm:

stike

dunno if it's really a frit or a glaze or if both of those are the same thing.

actually, i was thinking of the word 'slip', but it ain't that.

just a frikkin glaze probably. glaze>glazier>glass

words am fun (if i can occasionally use them right!)
