Newbie question about paver and table

hpeeler

I'm always late to the party.  Just got my first LBGE and am in the process of getting it set up in the table I built.  I have it on a paver but was wondering if putting it on a tile is enough insulation from the wood.  It sits up just a little too high in the table for my liking.  I even thought about drilling holes in the wood under the tile to vent the heat.  Thanks in advance for what will be many more questions to come.

A tile is not enough. Here's a good read: http://www.nakedwhiz.com/eggbase/eggbase.htm

Get yourself a table nest.  Mine was about $25.  But it will raise it another 2" or so.

Fire proof barrier, like a paver and an air gap (1/4"-1/2" air gap). Alternative is a table nest which provides 2" of air gap - I'd still put that over a tile or stone surface. 

My medium sits on a tiled shelf with a table nest.

I'm a believer in the air gap

Thanks for all the replies.  It seems mine is not the only one that sits up like this.  Here it is.  It's cypress and the top is some type of South American hardwoods used in the manufacturing of truck bodies (floors).  It was perfect for this I thought.  The sink will be connected to a garden hose and drain on to the ground.  Now I just need to get it out of the shop and on to the deck and fire it up!

Beautiful table! I know you want to lower the egg, but you actually should raise it. As others have said, I think you need a paver and an air gap. Would hate to see this happen...

Nice Table you will do well with that set up

2" concrete paver alone is fine, but ceramic tile is not made to withstand the heat and will eventually crack.  You could go with the BGE table nest also which is about the same height as the paver, but quite a bit more pricey than the pavers.
