I've been assembling bits & pieces of broken, defective and/or unsightly (but all still functional) large BGE parts for quite some time now, & I now have all the major components. The base has a hairline crack in the back, about 7 inches long, that goes all the way through. The dome has several chips about the size of quarters that flaked off the exterior glazing. The band/hinge has been drilled (in an attempt to make it fit its old egg better). The fire box is just obliterated & the ring is in two pieces.
The plan is to JB Weld the broken inner parts back together & also use it to seal the crack in the base, paint over the chipped sections of the dome, & figure out how to make the hinge work properly. I'll then need a new grid & fire grate, & this guy will be ready for action. I plan on using it as a dedicated smoker, I think its inferno days are behind it, but that's ok
