I closed the lid and you could hear the air rushing in. I guess I had wrapped the thermometer right around and back to 200°.
But I digress, it's ceramic but it's solid, it's got to be about an inch thick and weighs about 200 pounds.

Yeh, mine got up to about 1000 degrees by accident as well. Was having a kids pizza party, intent was to cook them at 800, but after the first half dozen pizzas it crept up there.
The longest cook (technically 3 cooks) I have done on it is 48 hours.....3 pork butts back to back to back.
We enjoy our Egg.
