Since the stove is brand-new, that could work in your favor. Even though it is likely that the manufacturer can't be faulted, the manufacturer might replace the base plate at no charge. (But cross your fingers
).
OTOH, cast iron would be easy to braze—especially a cast iron
fracture!
For less than $50, there is plenty of materials in a hardware store brazing kit to do this repair (with much left over for other repairs to metal).
Don't get the really-uneconomical kit that has two tanks
(
one tank is Oxygen). The correct kit—with one tank—will be labeled
