I just received this big Joe classic III. While u packing I noticed this crack in the lower body. There is another similar crack 180deg on the other side. Is this ok? Is it going to get worse/affect performance. I assume expansion/contraction with cooking will make it worse.

Should I return it?

    I would warranty that for sure. These things are too expensive to accept that. You can transform it into a planter.

    Return it. It’s subjected to high temps I wouldn’t mess with that.

    With expansion and contraction from heating and cooling, it’ll get much worse.

    It can’t get better. Soon to fail.

    Absolutely not. Just kidding yes return it. If you need to cook tomorrow, just say you noticed it after first cook lol.

    Gonna echo everyone else. Send it back or you’ll always hate it.
