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.

big bob mn,

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

Steve

big bob mn · July 2009

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 · July 2009

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.

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

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.

Sparky,

Mebbe we could call them cracklin's

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

stike · July 2009

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

Little Steven · July 2009

stike,

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

Steve

Gunnar · July 2009

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

Little Steven · July 2009

Barry,

We usually do sno-cones with em.

Steve

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

Beli · July 2009

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

stike · July 2009

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!)

Has any one seen this on there egg???
