I started to take the Egg apart, I knew the fire box was cracked when I pulled it out I saw a crack down left side across the bottom and up the other side

My brother Cal came over to help me with the cart we glued and screwed together 2 2x4x3/4 in. plywood and cut a 20 in. hole for the Egg sanded and prepped it for marine Spar Varnish

Cal put on the first coat it had to dry over night and the next day I put the second coat and let dry overnight

Looks great Ross. So no problems with BGE getting the replacement parts? Not that there should be, just curious how that went.

I always admired your Metro cart Eggnest, it looked like it was still in pretty good shape, why did you paint it? Did you have a back up grill while the Egg was laid up?
