An XL egg for sale in my area has this fix with JB weld. How common is this?
Just curious if you would trust JB weld in your egg and if this is something to avoid.

I would avoid. I’d be concerned of temp changes causing it to rapidly crack. Also I don’t want JB weld heating in the same place as my food

I dunno about high temp jb weld but I did call them asking if fixing my coffee cup with jb weld was food safe once cured and they said hell yeah

I used furnace cement to fix cracks/ breaks in my vintage Kamados, food safe and holds great. I would use that over JB Weld. But since the deed is already done, it should be fine if the commenter who said it was food safe is correct. You could always encapsulate it with furnace cement if you are concerned. It does look like there is daylight showing in the pic, if it is a hole, I would recommend filling it. If it is cheap enough, maybe it would be worth it to get a replacement dome from BGE.
