I found an older, large BGE on ebay and was able to pick it up for $150. It looks to be in pretty good condition for its age but I noticed that they added a rotisserie to it and had to bore holes where the lid mates to the bottom. The ceramic cap it broken and needs replaced, as well as the gasket and the exterior glaze is pretty weathered. I am not able to pick it up until next weekend so I'm not sure the extent of the work required. I want to be able to use it to it's full temp range as the thought of making pizza at 750 or 800*F one day and smoking at 240*F the next astounds me :becky:. What do you recomend for the repair of the ceramic at the holes that will make a food safe but reliable fix? Secondly, how should I go about refinishing the faded glaze? I have a ceramic shop about a minute down the road but I don't know if the BGE will fit in her kiln let alone if she wants something like that in it. The last question I have is what modifications would you recomend once the repairs are made and it's brought back up to spec such as adding the spring assist lid hinge, place setter, upgraded gasket, cast iron dual purpose cap, etc... Thanks in advance! I'm looking forward to joining the BGE owners group
