How common is it that XL’s crack? I bought it used, how likely are they to warranty? Am I cooked? I don’t believe I used it in a manner that would cause such.

    Cooked. Warranty. I’m in the same boat, and waiting stinks.

    Ive replaced an xl base under warranty. Had a bad install. yall make sure to elevate your egg! I’ve used the nest for 10 years with no issues!

  3. In 25 years, I’ve lost a base almost as bad as your’s, and 2 fire bowls.

    The firebox is sacrificial, unfortunately the outer shell isn’t.

    Mine has cracks like that. No problem using it as normal.

    BGE isn’t going to honor warranty past first owner. You could buy a new base, but really your better if getting a “new” used BGE and keep this one for parts.

    Or

    You know you like it, so replace with new and have peace if mind with warranty

    Shall we observe a few moments of silent reflection on an egg taken in its prime? Too soon. Too soon.

    You can buy a new base and it will come with warranty if it ever breaks again. This is by far the most expensive piece to replace.

    Does it hold the temperature? Seems like that’s the determining factor
