Just Finished My First Table!

Just a basic table plan because it's for my medium egg and I plan up upgrading in the next few years. It was definitely a good learning experience. It's the first big thing I've built so there's definitely a sense of accomplishment! Not the most elaborate table but it will work for a few years. Broke it in tonight with a big bone-in ribeye!

Looks good.

And it's a beautiful table. My table is very similar to yours. The only thing different is I have a 4x10 inch opening in front of the ash door. This allows me to rake the ashes out. They fall through the 4x10 opening into a ash bucket I keep under the table.
It makes for a easy clean out of the ashes.

Not to be Debbie downer, but is that just a small tile underneath?  I had a concrete paver under mine and it charred the wood in less than three months. Highly recommend a table nest. 

Looks great!

Table looks great! I do agree with @theyolksonyou, not to be rude just trying to help. Good job though

Yea....I had a paver stone in there at first but it was a little too think and raised my egg well above where I wanted it to be when coming out of the hole. Do you know how high the table nests raise the egg? I know I need something besides what I have but looking to keep it under and inch if possible.

THE EGG IS DESIGNED TO BE USED IN A METAL NEST OR WITH A METAL TABLE NEST, PROVIDING AN AIR GAP BELOW THE EGG – however you must exercise caution and not place an EGG directly over combustible material such as ground cover or an extremely dry wood surface even if using a Table Nest.

A concrete paver block or granite tile is often used to support the EGG when used in a table or built-in. If not used in conjunction with a Table Nest, it is recommended that these be stacked at least 3” thick for proper heat protection.

FOR MAXIMUM HEAT PROTECTION, IT IS BEST THAT A GRANITE TILE AND A METAL TABLE NEST BE USED IN COMBINATION, particularly if EGG is routinely used for long cooks or high temperature cooking and is placed over a wood surface.
