Overkill Table With Notch Cuts Galore

Greeting Eggers,
My table project is finally complete! It's a big heavy table (6ft X 3ft) with the hinge cutout. I'm a new Egger with not a lot of carpentry experience and ZERO BGE experience. I did a test light up and used the oil/paper towel method to start the lump (read it here and it worked perfectly - thanks). I kept a stable 300 for half an hour for practice, but noticed a small gap in the back - so I shut it down... I've got a band/alignment issue but will work on that tonight (band not tight in photos). Hope you like it - did lots of reading on this forum and wouldn't have made it far without this site so thank you!

I just moved mine to tables over the past couple of weeks. The easiest/best one I did was the large yesterday morning. The wire ties snapped because it was so cold out I'm thinking. Took the springs out and put everything together aligning the band's then retightning the hinge bolts, then with some help I installed the springs again. Came out perfect. Note, you really want help holding the egg or at least put the ceramics in. Lid will tip the egg otherwise.

Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all with water, but roast with fire; his head with his legs, and with the purtenance thereof.
I wish I had the facilities to build THIS. But I don't even have a table saw, so I'm stuck doing what I CAN do.
Good example in the video (pretty smart guys) --> https://youtu.be/SuAvejZkgyQ?t=4m
It is time consuming, but worth the effort.
Also - I smoked my first wings this weekend and they turned out fantastic! I wouldn't have made it far without the people here so thanks again! Now on to the meatloaf! Any tips?
What is the measuremental from the bottom level top the top of the table. Assuming this is a large egg
It is a large and I'm not 100% sure right now of the exact measurement, but the way I got that number was by setting up the base with the nest and paver together on the floor and used a straight yard stick to find exactly where I wanted the top to be.
In this case, I wanted the top of the table in line with the crease on the base where the bottom band attaches.
Gotta stay hydrated during those long cooks, man!
