Sorry spelling auto correct. Fell off*

Did he check the bands regularly? It looks like the Egg was used with a high temperature (due to the color of the firebox) so maybe the dome expanded and contracted a bit. This is normal for ceramics, so checking the tightness of the band once in a while is quite important.

Burger looks a little rare for my liking.

Did it fall out and not crack? The dome is okay?

Ouch. How does that make you fell?

If only there was a way to tell beforehand that something was just not quite right…….

You have to check the bolts on the bands regularly. Also do you have the old style bands? This was more common with the older bands. Upgrade to the newer style and cook on.

Sad !
They do say that regular maintenance is to check the tightness of that band.

Good opportunity to get the newer bands. They prevent this

Other ones are much more safe. They are designed so the front doesn’t fall off at all

Get new bands/hinge (and unfortunately, new wing tables too, the old ones won’t fit on a new band)

What’s wild is things are bent but not broken… egg on!

It looks like your band is a little loose. Get it back in there and tighten the bit there in the left side of the picture by the hinge.

Mine fell off a couple of years ago (my fault) and it shattered, do had to get a replacement one

I think you should tow it outside of the environment

I don’t know what’s more bothersome: the lid fallen off to the ground or grilling only 1 burger on a whole ceramic grill
