in EGG Table Forum

I am a new owner of the Large BGE. I found this forum in hopes to get some expert advice on how I should build a outdoor table for my new large BGE. I have been doing some research on table plans and have a pretty good idea of the plan I want.


What kind of advices do you have for me that I will need to look into when building this table?


Also, I see a lot of partial granite counter tops in some of the designs. Can anybody tell me why is this?


Any advice and help is appreciated.

    I centered my Egg on a 5 foot wide concrete table top. Storage on both sides was critical for me since I'd likely have food prep on one side, and a place for the adjustable rig/platesetter to sit when accessing the coals. 

    I wanted concrete for the durability, easy cleanup, and ability to withstand heat.  Sometimes you'll need to remove the guts and/or grate while they are hot, and wood doesn't work well for that.  

    I had a cheapo cedar table from the dealer that worked okay for a few years.  That time allowed me to figure out what features I wanted in a table.  That might be my best advice.  Figure out what it is you like.  Build from there.  

    Also, Pinterest.  It's not just for mason jar salads.  That site is a friggin time suck.  Creative ideas for days.

    I don't feel comfortable giving construction advice without pants on. 

    So hit up the search function. Some guys have some incredible set ups for every budget. One is on the first few pages now on a "show me your set up" deal
