Table Nest "Hack".
Options
Chubby
Posts: 2,955
If you find yourself in the situation that I did, (where you are going from an existing eggnest to something in a table or something permanent like a kitchen) this is always an option as opposed to buying a new "Table Nest".
Used my angle grinder and cut off the legs of the old nest. I was also able to gain about an extra inch of clearance underneath...compared the Nests being sold today.... are there you could cut them at whatever height you wanted or needed.
Just another option.

I spent most of my money on good bourbon, and bad women...the rest, I just wasted!!

That is a great tip Chubby. It also looks more stable than the table nest. Where did you get the rubber "booties"?Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

Looks great thanks for the idea. I am in the process if putting mine in a counter. I like the open front as well.

I happened to get some free from a Dealer...but I'm sure BGE would also sell you four of them for little to nothing.

Very cool (pun intended) because that extra air space would definitely be great if it were mounted on a wooden shelf. Could really cut down on the chance of fire to the shelf underneath. Thanks for posting.

I did something similar to gain height on a table nest mod. I was able to get credit with my guy on my old nest and mates. The air gap was a non issue with a SS table but, the extra air gap makes the bottom of the base cool down quicker and there is absolutely 0 heat transfer at the bottom. For guys with wooden tables that are combustible take heed. Egging is all fun and games until disaster strikes.

Great idea. Thanks for sharing.
Any road will take you there if you don't know where you're going.

I knew there was something about the table nests in your pics but couldn't put my finger on it. I think yours look more "elegant" vs. the BGE table nests#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX.

For the hack does anyone know if the "inside" legs of my nest can be removed for a table nest? Will the outside legs be enough to support a large bge if they were to be cut? Thanks in advance. -
