Aldi Kamado Grill Repairability

Aldi Kamado Grill Repairability

Hi all,

Would appreciate some enthusiastic advice on this one. We were fortunate enough to pick up an 18" Aldi Kamado Grill for £250. Unfortunately after assembly we found that it had a fairly substantial crack in the side that goes all the way through the side.

The manufacturers don't have any replacement units, so it's either, get it returned, or get a hefty discount and try and repair it ourselves with some fire cement.

My question is, if we get a £150/£200 refund, is this bbq still going to work given the crack? Is a repair feasible? Would it ever be at 100% efficiency?

Would it better to return it and buy a £500 similar bbq from elsewhere?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
