transporting a large BGE

I have loaded up my large BGE and drove from Tennessee to Wisconsin did some great cooks and on the way home Cindy and I stoped in and grilled on two of there large eggs and at the end of the day drove back home to Tennessee.

Now this is how I transported my large BGE and table with help from Cindy. I would let the tailgate down and push the egg and table up to the tail gate and stand on the tail gate with one foot and stand on the egg table with the other foot. I would ask for help if I had any and carefully pull the egg out of the table by the hinge with one hand and this is how I would put the egg back in the table. Then I would cushion the bottom and cushion up against the truck bed. Then I would use my existing tie down places in the lower four corners of my truck. I ran a strap through my empty egg in the lower draft door and out through the hinge over to the other side both tie downs we are using the front hooks on the truck. I will use the rachet type tie downs and cinch it up tight. I then run a strap up through the BGE handle and over the lid and through the hinge again using both front hooks on the truck. This held the BGE from moving around and I tied the table down and wraped all the eggcessories individualy. In 800 miles one way the egg never come loose or moved around but if it did I did stop often and I could have cinched it up tighter.
