So, I recently made a 500 mile move and my Egg table was in rough shape. I had to junk it after 12+ years...

I have no way to purchase a nest or construct another table for a while due to the move.

Does anybody have any creative (cheap) solutions so I can enjoy egging again?

The majority of ideas from friends and family aren't secure enough for my much valued egg...

Thanks in advance!!!

    Are looking for a portable solution or can you set it on a paver with an air gap for time being?

    Stack cement blocks to get it off the ground and go with it.  
    Edit: two levels should work depending on your own flexibility.

    Dunno where you live, but how about looking for a $50 nest on the Craigslist? When you're done with it, sell it for $50?

    Don't really know how long - but I usually use it a few times a week at least. Cement blocks could be the best option. I just worry that it may topple over.

    Looking on Craigslist, nothing yet...

    I need to grill!!!!

    Contrary to normal procedures, just throttle-back on the adult beverages and the blocks should work-as long as you don't own a dog .  That combination could be DEVASTATING.  (Inside forum thread joke).
    BTW-welcome aboard and enjoy the journey.

    @drummerboy If you want, I have an unopened Large nest. I assume you have a large...

    Can you wait a week?  I'm at the beach and when I get back I'll send it out.

    No charge, just private message me your address... Not sure how to PM but someone on here can help you with that.

    My freezer is almost empty of SRF steaks. I have no way to purchase any at this time. Does anybody have any creative (cheap) solutions so I can enjoy my egging?

    The majority of ideas from friends and family aren't enough to for me.

    Thanks in advance!!!

    Awesome @RedSkip !  This site is full of wonderful and generous folks.
