I bought a Joe jr couple of days ago and I just unboxed it. I’ve observed these cracks all over the ceramic surface all over? Can anyone tell me if this is ok?

As you heat and cool your egg you’ll get tons more. It’s normal

Its called “crazing” and therez been several posts recently (here and FB) from people who got them like this out of the box. My brother bougbt a BJ1 from Home Depot and it came like this as well. Apparently this common in ceramic cookers. Luckily mine didnt come that way. My brother ended up keeping it after HD offered a further $150 discount. So he got a BJ1 for $800.
He did contact Kamado Joe and they basically said “its just bad luck for him and it doesnt affect performance”. 🤷♂️

Ya, and it’s a right of passage to see it and get nervous.

Very abnormal. I’d be really concerned and I doubt they will take it back. As a fellow Joe fan I will do you a solid and take it off of your hands as a favor so you aren’t stuck with it

Probably *THE* most common post on this sub and in Kamado Joe related groups, actually!

Look closely at your glazed dinner plates. They’ll be doing the same thing.
Totally fine.

If this is the same as posted last week, yes normal. NOT CRACKS.

It’s almost as if you made a post to Reddit instead of doing a quick 30 second google search

Don’t bother checking the sub for the thousand posts asking this same question. 😐

Is it really that hard to do quick search before you post.

It happens. It’s just the glaze. Wait til it rains while you’re in the middle of a high temp cook and see how many you have afterwards.

Yes. The glaze always cracks on the surface. It’s called crazing, and it’s normal.
