Do you mean like it had been under water like in a flood? Or just normal rainfall?Re-gasketing America one yard at a time.

Rainwater? No problem. stike dumps ice water from a cooler in his to cool it quickly at a tailgate.
I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

personally I would just pull out the fire ring and fire box and leave all open in the sun to dry it out and then built a low temperature fire to dry it out. Any signs of mold? Even it so the fire will burn it off.Re-gasketing America one yard at a time.

I’d clean it out real good, fill it up with lump, light it, and run it around 300 for a few hours. I’d put the daisy and grid inside while burning.

I’d also have plenty of beer or scotch on hand while performing task above. Oh, and a good cigar.

I have had a water issue with one of my Larges for a while.
I had had some mold in it and a nice day this weekend so I opened, yanked the guts to dry like @rrp suggested, put them back in and lit a 600* Fire.

Get it to around 300 for a few hours, that should dry it out if there were any issues relating to water. Check for cracks. Water in cracks in cold temps (expansion) could be a problem."Knowledge is Good" - Emil Faber

Well, I picked up the egg, it was in a table and not until I got home did I realize the bottom was cracked - so water turnouts, is the least of my concerns. Think it is a bust. The crack goes from one side to the other...

Put in cold smoking in the search feature above right and you will get pages on cold smoking lots of things -
If it's in a nest and not over a wood deck you could use it for lower temp cooks with no problem.

A little tape and some gorilla glue and you're good to go.
Not really, don't do this. -

agree with RRP. I'd ask the guy if he still has his original receipt, and see if his dealer can get him (aka you) a new base.Milton, GA

If you have not checked, you can get a new base for 150.00 and then would have a warrenty on that piece.

I see it is a large and when you click on the down arrow and put in the large the price jumps to the price you quoted. I should have checked further
So so did you check out any cold smoking threads? -

That's great the seller refunded your money and said just keep the egg . Stand up guy right there - I'm sure others might have given your money back and then tried to resell to another unsuspecting buyer.Milton, GA

Just get the new base. I don’t think I’ve ever read of a lid cracking. And the guts can glue with high heat JB weld and hold up easily.Large BGE and Medium BGE
