WOW my BGE is 8+ yrs old . . you?

Lit · January 2019

Iv had a lot of eggs. Something has cracked on all but 2 of them and I’ve never owned any more than 6-7 years. At one point I had a mini, small, medium and 2 larges. That small never cracked. I got the 2nd MM ever sold from what I know @JRWhitee got the first from Roswell Hardware it only had a fire ring crack. Besides that I has numerous parts crack but a mini base, medium base, large base, and XL base over 10 yrs or so.

Chiminea: 25 yrs old (I’ve owned it for 4 months)
Large: 4 years (1 cracked firebox)
Small: 1 year
MM: Brand New (shipping as we speak)

Does the chiminea happen to be blue?

It was actually painted black when I bought it. I got it back to it's original green with some elbow grease and advice.

Large Egg #1 - 12 Years old - replaced the base last year (moved 5 times)
Large Egg #2 - 8 years old - replaced the fire ring 2 years ago (moved 4 times)
Small Egg - 8 years old - no replacements (moved 2 times)
Mini Egg - 6 years old - no replacements (moved 2 times)
Mini Max - 3-4 years old - no replacements but does have a cracked fire ring that needs replacement
XL Egg - 2 years old - no replacements

And when I say moved - I mean, moved houses and/or cities.

My Medium will be 22 years old this June.

Mine is about 10 years old and the only original parts are the dome, the fire ring and the dfmt top. Can't remember how old my Mini is but all the parts are original on it.

Zippylip · January 2019

Mine will be old enough to drive in a year

Jstroke · January 2019

Medium-15
XL -4
Medium is well trained and can trusted after school to behave. The Xl is still in short pants.

Mine's got to be about 10. I had the fire grid and dome thermo each replaced once "under warranty". After the second fire grid started breaking up, I went hi-q.

My first large Egg is over 22 years old, all original parts except for the bottom vent door which started to rust (I live on salt water).

Here is a thread I posted about it on my 20 year Eggiversary~

Had to dig around some. Came across a note recording butt temp increases from Aug. of '06. I spent more than 6 months chasing temps after I got Egg 1, and I do recall I got it in mid-June during a summer vacation. So prob'ly '05.

#1, "Vesuvio" needed a fire box replacement about 5 years in. I messed up #2, "Mauna" last summer, bent the dome band beyond recovery. Otherwise, a paint chip here and there, and lots of gaskets. New wood for the handles.
