Nest or Table

Unknown · February 2009

Now that I have made my mind up on purchasing an egg.

Some insight on nests or tables would be great! Which one would you recommend! I was going to buy a nest to get my by! But I am thinking about going all out and getting a table! Hate to make 2 purchases! just worried about the upkeep of a table (stain....)

Love this site!

My large BGE came with a nest. I had a table built for me by a friend a few months later. I love my table.
Go here to see lots of pictures.

That depends on if you are wanting the egg to mobile or stationary. I would build a table and put two casters on two of the legs just in case you want to move it. Also, the table seems more appealing and funtional anyway.

I really do not need it to mobile! I live on a lake with high winds and I am concerned about the wind moving the nest or possibly tipping it over!

Unless you're planning on moving it around a lot, I'd go with a table. I've seen too many pics of tipped-over Eggs to be comfortable with a nest. Plus the table gives you a bigger platform for putting down large pans, trays, etc.

My table is 6' long and I can roll it around.

I love it...

Wind is not an issue unless you have frequent tornadoes in which case, the Egg should be the least of your concerns obviously.

I was thinking about putting casters on my table, but I really don't move it enough to make it pay.

I dunno, following my family's safety my next thought would be to my egg

table, you'll come to appreciate the extra space. t

Well, I think we've made this issue as clear as mud for him. :blink: :laugh:

for years i had an egg sitting on a paver that was sitting on a milk crate. i had wire tied the hinge to the deck railing for the winds. the table is the better choice but i havent gotten to that yet, some day soon maybe. getting closer to a field stone stucture with a concrete top, maybe some bar stools to look out over the lake. slowest project you will ever see, only been about 7 or 8 years now dreaming it up

every time i think about spending the bucks on a table, i think about all the meat i could buy with that money, and i leave my eggs in their original nests

Salguod · February 2009

I have the nest with side tables. But I put another small patio table next to the nest. That way I'm still mobile, but I have a serious and stout table when I need it. Best of both worlds.

a place to screw one of these into:

And a lot more room to hold a bunch of these:

Weekend Warrior · February 2009

If he used a nest, he could buy a lot more of those too! :woohoo:

fishlessman · February 2009

i guess i was using all the saved money for good meat AND lump. i guess im the only one to go out and find the best grill on the market, then set it up on a milk crate :laugh:

I love a good beer and was wondering if smoking on the EGG and enjoying a nice cold beer go together!

fishlessman · February 2009

you really scrimped out on the bottle opener

i dont know if i could open a good beer with that

Zippylip · February 2009

You know, that is an interesting question, not sure I have tried the two together enough times to give an opinion :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I can beleive that you like your egg so much - that you painted your deck to match! Awesome!

I may paint my house and car green when I get my egg

little lonely inside the beltway with these kind of pinchful ideals.....t

Unknown · February 2009

Hey - I noticed that one of you eggs has a black vent and the other has a rain cap!

Does the egg come with both or would one be an add on that I would have to purchase!

Thanks - new to this game!

tjv · February 2009

where did you find the dog, on the set of stargate or something.....LOL. T

FlaPoolman · February 2009

It should come with both

Zippylip · February 2009

Pat, always the reasonable one you are, did you open that thing I just sent you?

Semolina Pilchard · February 2009

Most people go with lawn mower type wheels or air filled tires on the heavy end and swivel wheels on the other. Some swivel wheels have a locking mechanism on them. As for only putting wheels on the heavy end, I say put wheels on both ends because there will be no LIGHT end.
