need help with demensions of egg

McStew

I'm not at the house and I'm trying to have a cover made but I forgot to get the circumference of my egg before I went into work.

If anyone has this for a large it would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Surprised that no one answered your question, it's probably too late for your need and I can't find a measuring tape!  However, keep in mind that the cover needs to be larger than the circumference in order to accommodate the hinge and handle.

Oh, by the way, be warned and be careful when removing the cover if the ceramic cap is underneath

The mothership plans for a table for a large call for an opening in the table 66in in circumference, so I'd say add another 10 atleast to accommodate handles and hinges

That table opening must be snug ... based on online circle solver, 66" circumference = 21" diameter ... 18" cooking area diameter plus 2x thickness of the egg base = ???  (sorry, can't find a tape and eggs are covered in ice!)

Edit: Duh, wait, I think we are both wrong?  because the opening in the table is below the gasket level (fattest part of the base).

Thanks @shadownick and @Canugghead I was able to measure what I needed when I got home.  

Sorry about your egg covered in ice is a cool 73 here.

 I sent this to duckcovers Dec 4th, waiting on quote. I think I need to bug touch base today. Probably to late to help anyways. Thanks for the reminder on the cover though!

A – 34 ½”<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

B – 25” (27” due to the hooks and egg handle)

C – 28”

D – 57”

E - ~17”

F – 7 ½”

G – Roughly 31” where the tires are.

Haha, last cooked on Jan 2 when it was about 0 Fahrenheit without the wind chill, got way colder since ;(  but it's going to warm up to 47F on Friday, woohoo!  Looking forward to cooking my freshly made sausages.

@AlbertaEgger ... many here recommend an air space between the egg and the paver, I can't tell if you have that.

Little OT but this pic was from when i finished the table and purchased my egg. I did since add a small spacer, but took it out when I moved the egg and table to the deck last summer. So, no, I do not have a spacer between egg and stone. Its over 2" slab. And it is not sitting fully on the bottom shelf. It is inset into the bottome shelf, sitting on side supports, and 1 center i think. So the bottom of the stone see's plenty of air flow, just not the bottom of the egg.

McStew, can I ask where you are getting your cover made?

McStew

Duck is currently bidding on the job but I think I'm going to pay the price for the coverworks cover looks to be far superior

@AlbertaEgger
A friend on the other forum got one custom made back in 2009; I've asked him if he still has contact info.

thanks Canugghead. I have e-mailed a place that has done some ccustom covers for my jet boat and a few friends boats. They did great work, just might be a bit pricey, and just down the street as well. I also sent it off to Coverworks as McStew mentioned above. See what happens. Always good to have a few to choose from.

@AlbertaEgger, here's the link anyway ...

The black cover is my friend's, before it was altered (I think) to accommodate a 2nd egg.

Well my cover from John at Coverworks is Amazing and fits great.  I would have posted pic's of it but its currently in operation.  

Thanks again to John his work is A+ in my book pic's to follow 

McStew

Final product thanks again John

If you're using the ceramic cap, be careful when you remove the cover, don't ask how I know!

McStew

@canugghead I have felt linings on the dome some I'm good to go but that's a good tip for others out there
