Does anyone want to offer thoughts about the relative quality of firepots, one vendor to another? That is: do some mfr's (or sellers) firepots crack easier than others? Are some more sensitive to "overwatering" than others? Our club bought and installed at least a dozen firepots from a certain company and about half of them have cracked. Some are as old as 6 or 7 years and some are as new as 3 or 3 years old. None of them are in everyday service. Most are used by trainees. For reference, the firepot I am using in my shop has been there since
1986 and shows no signs of any problems. (Different mfr'r). None of the firepots I describe are used to burn coke as a regualar diet.Pete Stanaitis
