It does come in the "Industro Weld" shop-size tube.

I had planned to take it apart to repair the crack I knew about, this new one caught me by surprise! I stirred the lump and cleaned out the ashes before I fired it up and didn't notice anything unusual. It had been burning for about 30 minutes and I noticed the new crack looking out my kitchen window @15' away! After the cook and it cooled down you had to look up close to see it.
I don't know if you guys have been following my Kamado Restoration thread or not, but I've been posting pics as I go, and I'll be including some pics a guy sent me of an extreme makeover on a claypot that I don't think even I would attempt, but he pulled it off. http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/sh...ad.php?t=41145

Strap it together with a tie down or what ever you have, take it apart use a glue that is more fluid that JB to get deep in the crack. Then v it out an use a good epoxy like JB. If the crack is through you could try refractory cement inside. Never give up on a good cooker!

If it cant be done, I will have a shot or three in its honor.

Heaven and the angels weep at the loss of an Egg.

But, as others have said, I wouldn't give up on it until I at least tried a repair.

It'll be OK.

Refractory cement would probably best best in the long run. As the egg expands and contracts, refractory cement would probably expand and contract along with it or at least better than JB weld.

Sorry for your loss Brian.

Have you considered Gorilla glue?

Im thinking what ever you use to glue the bottom back together, Im thinking that ratchet straps for clamping after the glue/cement is applied to hold the bottom until the adhesive sets.
