Started my cooking today with Brazilian sausage at 250f. After that, I went to cook my chicken and bumped the temps up to 355f. I had put potatoes to cook directly on the deflector plates in a cast iron pan right before I put the chicken on. I noticed the left plate wasn't sitting correct and when I went to adjust, the plate just cracked in my hand. Should I have not put the cast iron directly on the deflector plates? I'm in nj and it was around 40f outside today. Not sure if that had anything to do with it either.

did you put the cold stone into the hot grill? or was it wet? the heat really shouldn’t be an issue but shocking it could break it.
Can make an omelet without cracking a few eggs. Can’t make an amazing chicken without cracking a plate
Cracked mine the other day. It was a cheaper one that I used in the oven and not the big thick one that came with my Primo.
Got some Cast iron plates of an old combustion heater and will use that instead now.
No that should not have happened. I’ve put miles on my kamado but thinking back, i never adjusted the plate while it was hot. Prob not a good idea. But now you have good excuse to upgrade to a soap stone. From what i hear, that’s the number best upgrade for egg grills. Chicken looks amazing by the way.
