There is more than enough space there. No question. Don't worry.

Also, your egg will not warp like a piece of wood. You are all set, hell if you wanted to be extra safe, just put a piece of 1/4" cedar paneling under.

Yeah I even thought of cutting a round piece of aluminum flashing halfway between the wood and the egg as a heat sink/deflector if the wood got hot. I might do that if I end up cutting the feet down to get the egg a little lower.

Trust me, go ahead and get that baby hot, cook a pizza... do a clean burn, whatever you decide, and it will be warm. But it will not be hot to the point that it damages your wood.

Keep an eye on it. If the finish starts bubbling, put a radiant barrier down. A few sheets of aluminum foil folded over with paper towel in the middle would work to reflect the heat away from the wood. Convection isn't a problem with the air gap, but radiant heat is.

I came home today with the table nest. Itis cheap at 17$ or so and really well made. Why not go with BGE and be safe.

My local dealer wanted $35 for the table nest. I thought that to be a bit high...I would get one for $17.

You have a whole lot more clearance than the "little green feet" gave. I would probably put a thin tile or a piece of stainless under though, just in case an ember gets out

My egg has a screen that keeps embers from exiting the bottom of the egg. I keep it closed. Did they stop including those?

I'm in the design phase for my table and I have a question. Do you need an air gap if you are placing a paver underneath the egg. thanks all.

If you roll your table around frequently, you may have stability issues with the top heavy egg falling off the feet. Personally, I'd welcome a higher standing set of feet.If it's brown, it's cook'in....If it's black, it's done ---my Grandfather Medium BGE

I'm not sure if this pic is your table or not but if your worried about heat you could always tile the bottom shelf. I used natural slate on both of my shelves. Also us the BGE table nest.Green egg, dead animal and alcohol. The "Boro".. TN

Did they stop including those?A 2" paver is quite a bit of insulation , but some guys actually put a small metal spacer on the paver under the egg for air flow, the bottom does get warm. If you plan to roll around a lot, I'd use just the paver. Make sure there is lots of paver in front of the egg, ensures easy cleaning of ash.Delta B.C. - Whiskey and steak, because no good story ever started with someone having a salad!

I originally had a thin paver under my large BGE with no air gap. I charred the bottom shelf doing pizzas. I added the air gap with the feet and no problems since.
Thanks nola

In my experience, if using feet between your Egg and the paver makes you more comfortable, by all means do it, but it isn't necessary

Here's a good link for information on protecting your table, house and home from your egg.
