Or, I hope this works!
Here are some pics of my Large BGE and the crack that put it out of service, hopefully you won't ever have to do this, but let it serve as something to look out for if it ever comes up.
Wire brushed the interior
Used a Dremel to channel the cracks to fill with JB-Weld
Did the same with the exterior-the glaze is pretty hard!
Coat area with Furnace cement
Add a Rutland gasket
Next onto the firebox!
Channelled out the cracks, filled with JB, then coated with furnace cement, and into the oven at 500* for 5 hours.
The heat caused the JB to bubble under the furnace cement, but it is still very solid, I plan to coat it with another coat and heat it up before I do a charcoal burn.
Ordered some touch up paint for the exterior and coated the entire inner surface with the Rutland cement. I'll update the progress as it goes and hopefully I'll be Eggin' soon!
