re: Man Projects: Make your own Big Green Egg

One warning, even though there are several high temp ceramic adhesives, I don't think you can attach a metal hinge directly to the ceramic. The coefficient of thermal expansion for the metal will be much higher than that of the ceramic, when the metal expands it will crack the ceramic if it is directly attached. The BGE uses metal bands the go completely around the egg to attach a hinge and the stand. You can attach a ceramic handle to the top so it can be lifted off when needed.
That would be simpler and safer.

If this is true, shouldn't thermal expansion be an issue with the bands?
