Hey, gang..

Any good options for a table or stand for the Mini that's NOT wood and that holds the Mini recessed like a Nest would?  (Not the table nest..more like a S/M/L nest).

I have mine on our patio table..and wifey is not too happy about it.

I'd love to find a Nest like those for the Small, Medium or Large..not this dinky table nest that BGE offers.

PS: looking at Outdoor Kitchen Equipment for a SS two-egg setup..but have been wondering if having a Mini BGE in one of the "holes" in a two-Egg setup would look ridiculous in that big table.  Not sure if I'd get another Egg or just put the KJ Classic into the second hole.

Another reason we want the Mini off the table is stability..not sure a 'coon or something won't jump up there at some point and knock the thing over..

Thx for any/all ideas..
Mini BGE, KJ Classic - Black, Cookshack SM025, Weber Gasser (mostly for Kamado storage!)

    I cut a square in my table and set the mini carten in it supported by the top of the table. The mini was floating it looked pretty cool.

    My favorite Mini nest belongs to our Mexican friend, Beli I believe he said he had it custom made, but it doesn't look too complicated. I think it's awesome!! Maybe a garden shop would have something similar.

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    I use one of those shelving units that you can buy at Lowe's or Home Depot. Mine is a 3 level one which places the Mini at the right height for me. The Mini's weight is no problem plus the shelf will allow heat from the bottom of the Mini to dissipate freely. I have mine in an Egg Carton but using the shelving alone would work like a charm.
