I purchased a LBGE a 2-3 weeks back but haven't picked it up from the store yet. They built it for me ... but now it sits in their back room. I am building a table... I'll keep you all posted on the progress. I also am skipping the platesetter and ordering some stuff from Ceramic Grill Store... Thinking of starting with the R&B Combo and going from there. I really have no clue how to use this Egg but am excited to try and happy to have such a great resource as this forum! (Main reason I bought an Egg).

Time to bring her on home. Good move on purchase from CGS. Welcome to the madness!

Not trying to knock you or anything like that but I'm curious why you'd skip the platesetter if you're new to the Egg and don't have a clue how to use it? Don't get me wrong - I have bought stuff from CGS, but 5 years in on my LBGE and I use my platesetter more than some of the stuff I've purchased from CGS. Just wondering...
Great looking table!! I wish I had the room to get a table where I cook, but I'm stuck with mine in a nest and a small patio table next to it.Large BGE

My wife got me one of those bundle deals on a large egg at Christmas and it came with a plate setter. I ordered an AR combo right away. My plate setter is still virgin white and I can't think of a time I would use it over the AR.

Haha, thanks for the comments! Glad it sounds like I made a wise choice! Having decided on a table and patiently getting it done has helped me avoid any rush purchases.....
So, Large Egg, Ceramic Grill Cart full of stuff ... and I just added this Army Green Thermapen MK4 .... think I'm almost ready to fire this bad boy up!

@mjfutures - you should get the BGE home independent of the table and fire it up and start the cook/learn process. BGE will perform wonders regardless of its stand/location. FWIW-
BTW- did anyone tell you that an Army Green Thermapen is the slowest they make and will need batteries every week for sustainment??Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period. -

and yes i should have brought the BGE home weeks ago haha, seems easier to tell my family about all the cool stuff we can make without actually doing it -
Brought it home .. table will be ready tomorrow. Kind of strange, didn't know it came with this cart or I would have picked it up in June when I purchased.

I'd hold onto the nest if you don't end up liking the table. It's something nice to fall back on. Some eggers have gone to a table only to find themselves going back to the nest a year or two later."The pig is an amazing animal. You feed a pig an apple and it makes bacon.

Ahh, will do! The nest does seem really handy.
