Nest Handler

JMCXL · August 2016

I was at a dealer over the weekend and saw the nest handler. I have a XL and was wondering if this is something I need or is it a nice to have item. I keep my XL in the garage and push it out about 10 feet to keep. about twice a year I take a field trip with the XL and go to the back yard (roll about 60 feet over pavers). What's your thought on the Nest Handler?

Thought this might be a good Friday Night question (Sorry if this is old news)

I am not familiar with it, but when moving an egg, always pull it, never push it. If you are pulling an egg and the wheel hits a rock or a hole and the egg goes to flip over you can stop it. If pushing an egg and that happens, the egg will probably crash to the ground.

I bought a handler for large 1.5 years ago and yet to put it on. My biggest issue is space in the garage. The handler adds a bigger circumference of the egg which doesn't help the already limited space I have in the garage. If you have the extra room go for it! A few members swear by them.

I highly recommend the egg handler. What it does is to make the egg and nest as one. For me,it just feels 'solid' and is going nowhere. Not needed, but it indeed does give your egg a 'finished' look.

Have handlers on both my medium and XL. I personally think they should be standard with a nest.

I live them. Overpriced? Absolutely. Worth it? Absolutely, especially if you ever move it around.

And - lords knows we spend our money on every new 'egg' gizmo accessory that hits this forum, from the Joetisserie to the KAB to Temp Controllers to high priced specialty meats etc - why NOT buy something that makes your egg look even cooler that it already is. Buy it!

I purchased the handler to go on my large when I first got the egg. Never moved an egg with out one. Having said that I wouldn't want to move an egg without one over rough terrain.

Well worth the investment.

I should probably get one. I kept mine in the garage and had to go out over a 3" high door frame to get to the back porch. At first I did it with 2 pieces of 1/2" plywood and then built a one piece ramp out of 3/4". Always took it slow and popped each wheel up separately over the various humps. Never had a drop!

I finally bought one for my large when the local dealer had a 20% off sale and really like it. During the winter I store my egg in the garage and roll it in and out and was always worried I would somehow knock it over. In the summer it lives on the brick patio but it's a long haul twice a year taking it out in the Spring and bringing it back in the Fall. The other thing I noticed is that it locks the egg and the nest all together and feels much more solid. I recommend it.

Must have for the situation you are describing. You will be delighted with the difference in stability.

It also locks the Egg to the nest, it fastens to both the band and the nest.

I have an XL that lives in the garage and I pull it out to the driveway for use. Moving that big heavy egg with the handler makes it easy. If you move your egg around, I highly recommend the handler.

My first large was purchased before handlers were available and I felt safer putting it in a table. Handlers on my XL and second large were no brainers. I go to a lot of local dealer eggfests. Most of them have gone to putting handlers on their demo eggs as standard practice. Seen a few trying to move with just a nest get tipped.
