Yet Another BGE Table

As you'll remember from our earlier eggventures, I previously had a medium egg, and upgraded to a large.  I built the table for the new egg about a week or so ago.  It's made out of Trex to match my deck.  I do some blacksmithing as a hobby (used to do it for a living many years ago) so I made some hooks for the utensils (some hard forged as well) and the grills.  Here are the results:

    Looks great..Congrats. I am no expert on heat and air gaps but are you comfortable with the gap around the  circumference of your egg and the top work surface..

    In cooking, often we implement steps for which we have no explanations other than ‘that’s what everybody else does’ or ‘that’s what I have been told.’  Dare to think for yourself.

    Actually, I'm going to kill two birds with one stone.  I'm either going to put in on thicker pavers, or put additional thin ones on top of the existing ones to make it a tad taller.  This will increase the gap as well.

    Nice job on the hardware.  

    Any road will take you there if you don't know where you're going.

    If you are going to move the egg up, you should consider adding a table nest. The air gap from a table nest will go a long way in protecting the table from heat damage.
