Hope everyone had a great weekend! I'm a new Egg owner (2 weeks) and new to the forum as well. We have an issue with the Thermometer that came with the Egg. I reached out to Customer Support over a week ago and haven't even received an acknowledgment of receipt. I understand that they may be busy but customer support should be centered around managing a customer's expectations. Traditionally, I have received fantastic support from other manufacturers (Napoleon, Weber, etc.,) and expected the same from Big Green Egg! Does anybody have any additional contact information besides what is posted on the website. Thanks! Brad.

Think someone has Bruce's contact, but if it's with your thermo, what's the issue?
I'm sure one of us can help you out.------------------------------

Welcome. Have you tried going through your dealer? That is how BGE seems to prefers it to work.Phoenix -
Call Bruce, as mentioned. In addition, ask your dealer. For me, that has always been my first point of contact and I've never needed to contact HQ.

Go to the dealer you bought it from. That is how the egg brand works.Large, Medium, MiniMax, & 22, and 36" Blackstone

Thanks for the response and advice. In regards to the issue with the Thermometer... When I was cleaning it up after the 2nd use, I noticed what appeared to be scratches on the Thermometer. See attached photo. Given that I purchased an Official Big Green Egg cover along with the Egg, I was surprised that the cover would cause this type of damage.
Upon further inspection, they are not scratches from the cover as initially suspected, they are actually internal to the thermometer (there is no sign whatsoever of wear or imperfections on the exterior of the thermometer).
I have no idea what could possibly cause this type of damage to the thermometer, given that I believe I have followed direction and taken every precaution as outlined in the owners manual.

Thanks everyone else for your responses and advice in regards to contacting my dealer. I spoke with him on Saturday and he had never seen anything like this. I have no concern about whether or not the defective thermometer will be replaced, I'd like to understand the cause. Thanks again!

My medium's thermo has that issue. Never gave it alot of thought. Then again its crazing, too, after a year.

Just go to the local dealer where you purchase the Egg. They will help. Technically, that is the correct way to do it.

The cracks you are seeing are related to a manufacturing issue where residual stress from the molding process are present in the plastic. Sometimes these cracks are undetectable at the time of manufacture but will ultimately appear as environmental conditions allow the stress to "evolve" in the form of those cracks aka crazing.
It is definitely a manufacturing issue and I'm sure your dealer will take care of you.

Thanks everyone for all your support, assistance and advice! Very much appreciated! Just a quick update.... I never did hear anything back from the company itself (which I still believe is a customer service fail, process or not) but I took the thermometer back to my dealer and he replaced it without question. He also said that he had never seen anything like it before. Thanks again everyone!

The dealers are customer support for the company I don't think there's any customer support at corporate except one dude named Bruce“There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body.”

FWIW, while I understand the process, if your website is going to have an email address for customer support (which the BGE site does), it should be monitored and, at the very least, have someone send an email telling customers to see their local dealer. Otherwise, it makes customers feel ignored, as in this case.Two Large Eggs, 6 gal Cajun Fryer, and a MiniMax in Charlotte, NC - My New Table
