I think you’d probably need it to break apart to be able to cement it back together. Maybe you can smear some cement into the crack but it I am really doubtful it would have any holding power if you did that.

Sell it for $100 on marketplace and buy a used one from marketplace for $500.
Advertise it as a “great way to experiment with a kamado without the steep entry cost” and it’ll be gone before you know it.

Choices are: Use it as is or totally dismantle and use the furnace cement. The cement just on the surface of the crack won’t be enough to do the repair. After the furnace cement cures then the epoxy on the outside. I have used the furnace cement to fix a large hole in a Kamado and it still is holding after a few years.

Sorry for your loss. Giant hose clamp the oven in the middle then cement the cracks on both sides of it, the lid just cement and keep em crossed. 🤞 be sure to use oven cement.

Contact the moving company first. Start saving for a replacement. Or start searching the used marketplaces. You may need to settle for a lesser unit, maybe a Jr or one of the smaller brands like Visions or London Sunshine.
Bit of warning for anyone who is moving their Joe: It’s nothing but a big heavy awkward pain in the ass for movers. You’ve got supervise the disassembly, packing, and movement of the thing yourself. And you’ve got to know you are properly insured against incompetence, stupidity, or acts of god that will destroy your fragile kamado.
