Couldn't you???? Maybe even Bill Clinton will show up and bring a date...[p]Very Nice Work, it looks great!!!!!!!!!![p]Steve-B

    Great job! You have a lot of patience. Good to see you back here. I noticed something that tells me you might be interested in a "rain drain". See the link.

    mad max beyond eggdome,
    I cooked some NY strips on the small and some corn on the cob on the large the day the eggs went into the table, and I cooked a slab of babybacks on the large yesterday while I was building all of the doors, it was tough to work around that smell all day long, I was starving by the time they came off LOL....[p]Wess

    WessB,
    I am also building a killer outdoor kitchen area, and was wondering, Do you think there will be enough air movement to keep the eggs going since they're kinda boxed in? Mine are going to be a little more open than yours, but I was still wondering. If air movement isn't quite what it should be, I guess I could get a Guru. Thanks & See-Yaa

    LoveHandles,
    I made sure I left enough gaps in different areas to allow for airflow...and it really isnt that tight to begin with..I have more concern about trapping in the heat, but time will tell if that is an issue or not, either way I can just open a door if necessary. I used the guru yesterday on some ribs and it had no problems with everything closed up...HTH[p]Wess

    WessB,[p]WOW! What a nice table setup...you did really good![p]Tonia
    :~)

  • WessB, where in the world did you get all them smarts, you musta ate a bunch of them smart pills...if I just had me a smidgen of what you got I might could do stuff like at.

  • WessB,[p]Holy guacamole, Batman!! You just increases the value of your hacienda by thousands of dollars... more if a fellow egger wants to buy!!! Good work indeed. [p]My biggest question is: How do you get air into a fully enclosed egg? Also, there seems to be LOTS of wood around. Are you worried about sending the whole thing up in smoke? I would be scared senseless about a spark igniting the whole shebang and maybe even the house as well. What precautions are you taking?[p]

    Looks good![p]I just love a good home project! [p]It ain't gonna rain on your party![p]I'd have to enclose it with screen this time of year...the mosquitos are hungry, too.[p]Mike in MN

  • WessB, hey Wess,most awesome Eggstand I have seen since the WHIZ cooked pulled pork on his back deck in the English port-a -poti... er... just kidding... looks totally awesome !!! A man of many talents, not just "Eggcellent Cook".... Thanks for the pictures...

    mark wood,
    Thanks...and to answer questions...there are plenty of gaps and open areas for air to get in..and I have personally never had the problem of embers coming out during a cook, although many have experienced it.....however....you just made me think about lining around the lower vents with some sheet metal...just in case...as far as the tolerances of the egg to wood, there is no wood any closer in this table then there was in my free standing table, so it shouldnt be an issue..[p]Wess

    WessB,[p]That's awesome! A true testament to ingenuity and persistence. My only question (not having a table for my EGG) is how do you clean out the ash without having a mess in the shelf space?[p]Walter

    WessB,[p]Very impressive! I started mine last year, the whole plan being scrapped in favor of rev B, which I can't seem to get motivated to do. This inspires me. Only problem is now I may have to go with rev C, the version with a roof...what a great idea![p]Nice job.[p]LArry

    Walter,
    I actually use a plastic plate to scoop the ash into out of the lower vent, this is how I did it on my previous table, so I designed it to work on this one also...the small egg does involve a little squatting but all in all..it aint so bad...Thanks[p]Wess

    Mr. Hyde,
    It`s just one step further than a chimney cap for your daisey wheel..LOL...A chimney cap for the whole friggin table.....I just hung some of them roll up bamboo blinds around the edges of the roof tonight...we gonna stay dry from now on..least I plan on it anyway...Thanks for the kind words...[p]Wess

    Good idea on the sheet metal, Batman! Only takes one ember to totally throw a wrench into that project....and I have seen more than one ember tumble on outta my aigs.[p]'Course, it is easy to throw out suggestions when someone ELSE is building it. heeee.
    Happy cookin!

    Hammer,
    Anytime..just give us a little notice..LOL[p]Wess

  • WessB,
    That is a really nice setup you built! I’m very impressed! My only thought is (and this is based all on hindsight ) I would have built it at least 20 feet away from the house with a nice uncovered walkway leading up to it and with smoke detectors attached to the back of your house. As close as your project is to your house a smoke detector would probably be set off during most cooks. I hope you do have smoke detectors in your house along with a large and powerful fire extinguisher handy and convenient to you during the night and day. Now that I may have scared the hell out of you, you may want to move it all further back away from your house…. LoL… That would be easier than moving your house forward! Or, you could just park your own butt outside and watch and smell your other butts smoking & cooking all night long with a six pack of beer and your favorite music playing just to keep you awake.
