Challenger Table Owners????

Pardon my re-anmating this zombie thread but … I'd rather ask people who have some experience … these tables look great, just what I need. 

No style whatsover? Not to me. They look awesome. 

My question is — if you have a real hot cook, like a pizza cook, does the table heat up? What is it made of? Concerned about rust.

I have had mine for a couple of months and love it. I don't have a cover but everything inside has stayed totally dry despite some heavy downpours. I thought the top would get too hot in our intense sun but it hasn't been a problem (it does get pretty hot).

COegger, I have a large Egg in a nest and I am thinking of getting the XL and a Challenger table. I am trying to decide between giving away my L and going with just the 48" table or keeping the L, getting the XL too, and then purchasing the exact table you have.

If you did it again, would you go this route? I have had my large Egg for about 10 years, and I will sometimes need the extra space for lots of ribs, turkeys or large pork butts (hence my move to the XL). I am thinking of keeping the L because if I just want to cook steaks for my wife and me, I think I would be wasting a lot of charcoal heating up that XL.

I'm struggling with stomaching the price on that 74" table (the 48" is about half the cost $1700 v $3400). Any advice, regrets, do-overs, etc.?

I’ve had a 48” Challenger table for my Large BGE for 7 years. It’s an awesome cart, and I’ve gotten a solid return on my initial investment. It’s water-tight 100%! I keep it covered. I highly recommend this highly functional, dependable, low/no-maintenance cart.
