Building an XL table

BraveUlysses

Hello!

I'll post some follow up pics of my progress and completion (gotta have it done before the Seahawks play this weekend!!!) but I have a quick question:

I'm building a table for my XL egg and I need to know how important it is to have the airflow space between the bottom of the egg and the stone underneath it. I've seen tables with and without the airflow space. Any thoughts?

Thanks!

I'd have space...better safe than sorry. Go Broncos. .go Peyton!

You need air or pavers. Can't set the egg directly on wood

I have a 1 in paver AND I use the ceramic feet that came with my LBGE (along time ago) to put air space between the paver and the egg.

Thanks for the link! I will make sure there is an air gap!

bringing out the classics! 5 years later i finally got around to making this table

i tried to price out a stainless steel top surface but it was going to be way too expensive (over 1k!) so i'm left without a backup plan for the top surface.

it's western red cedar (i think) and i could either do a top surface that is about the same as the shelving but...i'm open to suggestions if anyone has one.
