Crazing on porcalin ceramic is 100% normal. Think of the glazing as glass. As the kamado warms and cools the glass has to break at points to allow this. Porcalin has a water absorbtion of .5% so small amounts of water coming from the crazing is nothing to worry about. The crazing will get worse over time but it should not impact the performance of the kamado. Porcalin and most low absorbant ceramics are very hardy. The only thing I would worry about but this for for any ceramic kamado is cold incontact with the hot. Or sharp bumps.
(Worked in the tile industry for a year and change. and you learn how ceramics behave in general)
