My outdoor kitchen was just finished a couple weeks ago. Tonight we used the egg to cook pizza for the first time, temps got up to 700F. This is definitely the hottest cook I've done so far (maybe it's just a coincidence). As I was cleaning up after I heard a really loud bang as if something had fallen over. I eventually figured out that the granite slab holding my egg had cracked. Has anyone else ever experienced this? Seems related to the high temp of the cook even though my egg is raised off of it with the ceramic feet. I'm obviously going to get this fixed but does anyone have suggestions about how to prevent this from happening again? I thought granite would be strong and durable enough…

My BGE cart 2.0 is wood. The Egg sits directly on a silicone silpat which I lay on a ceramic pizza stone that sits on the wood. I did it this way because BGE cart 1.0 started smoking where the Egg sat directly on the wood.
Ouch, that sucks.
Sorry, that sucks. Those feet should not be sold. They do not give enough of a gap. Father in Law’s wood table almost caught on fire with those. You need more of an air gap.
