900 REASONS TO USE THIS

I have melted handles on the BGE circular branding starter. I switched to a heat gun. One day I was distracted with guests inside the house and the plastic on the gun caught fire. It has melted some before but never caught fire. My entire lanai smelled of burned plastic. Even worse it penetrated my egg. I tried a high temp burn off which fried my gasket. I then disassembled my egg, put on a new gasket and I took a drill with a rotary wire brush and cleaned the entire inside of the egg. It looked great. I tried the Blazeball yesterday. I was skeptical that it would not get enough air. It started like a champ and quickly I had good "blu" smoke. However, my egg was permanently ruined by the burning plastic. I could still smell it. I opened everything up and was at 1000 degrees + to try to burn it off. I opened the egg this morning and the Blazaball survived the kiln! Looks great. Unfortunately, I have to ditch my egg because I got sidetracked that day. If I would have had a Blazaball instead of anything with plastic on it I would not be out $900+ dollars for a new egg. I wish I could post pics as I documented this entire journey. Don't make the same mistake I did
