Cracked LBGE Base

Wow, was I surprised to see a crack going from the bottom of my LBGE through the two screws that hold on the lower vent and up the side a ways while I was out cooking tonight. Looked on the back of the egg and found another crack. How the heck does ceramic that thick, sitting peacefully in the outdoor kitchen just crack? I will call BGE tomorrow, hope the warranty process works!

I just had the same experience ( not in the same place). They assured me it was covered and ordered a replacement. A pain to be sure ,but they will take care of it.Maumelle, Arkansas

I did some email with the BGE warranty folks, sent in some pictures of the cracked base and fire ring. Got an email back approving the warranty replacement. Went to my local BGE store today with the email. They ordered the parts, should be delivered tomorrow with their regular shipment. So far a pleasant experience!

I picked up and installed the new base. The old base was cracked all the way across the bottom, a little bit more and this base would have been in two pieces! The new fire ring does not work with my spider so I need to order a new three legged spider from ceramic grill store.

@hapsterI'd contact dealer like cort said and also email mothership again maybe. I have noticed that maybe 1 out 4 emails I send them never get responded to. Don't know if its a spam filter or just lost email._______________________________________________XLBGE

Mines been cracked like that for almost two years. I have my receipt, photo and everything ready for the warranty claim, I just need to go to the dealer. I'm going to think about installing my Rutland's on the dome from now on. There seems to be quite a few base failures being reported lately.
