Cracked Firebox Primo Oval XL Kamado Grill worth saving?
I have a neighbor that has one with the fire box/grate cracked down the middle. It has been very well loved over the years, but the entire shell is intact. Any idea?

You can get a replacement firebox for around 350, and a new charcoal grate for 70. So for free, sure yeah it’s probably worth it, you could get it back to a very good condition pretty easily. Probably even still worth it for a couple hundred. As with anything, the more the price goes up the less worthwhile it’s going to be. They’re nice grills and it should work well for you.

Why doesn’t your neighbor get it replaced under warranty then give it to you?

My egg firebox was broken and I used this product https://www.jjgeorgestore.com/big-green-egg-kamado-joe-ceramic-grill-repair-kit/?srsltid=AfmBOoqexiJP0HQYkkHgk_ogRW68Q9HKf-S7x3-zPEkjt_91HIINsM5H …. You just have to make sure everything is as clean as can be and it worked great
Fireboxes are sacrificial, replace it an be happy it wasn’t the shell that cracked.
Primo should have lifetime warranty just like BGE.
so tell him to have it replaced under warranty
