Does anyone know the weight of the parts of a Large BGE when broken down?  I will need to move mine and am trying to figure out whether I can do it with the help of the spousal unit.

thanks,

    My wife was able to help me lift a large, intact (bottom and top) egg and move it from a nest to a table. I had taken everything out of it, but I'd say it was still 35-50 lbs.

    I just set mine up alone. Completely separate the bottom is the heaviest part at about 35-40 pounds. It's not the weight it's just awkward. Top and bottom together would be hard to find a good handhold.

    +1 what Reddawg said, much more awkward than heavy. I remove the dome, remove the fire ring and fire bowl. With a gloved hand, reach inside and grab at draft door opening and lift it from table. Still an awkward piece to handle !

    According to the catalog, a large weighs in at 162 pounds.
