Help with modular nest - XL egg is rocking

CheeseheadinAZ

Anybody have this same issue. Wonder what would be best to put on cross beams to eliminate the rocking.  On a side note the modules are sweet!  Built like a tank!  Once I eliminate this issue I’m sure I’ll be very happy with the mods.  By the way this is a birthday present from the wife!

Take a thin washer or piece of sheet metal and slip it under the lower spot. You will be surprised at how little it takes.

Maybe loosen the bolts just a little, settle the egg in until it's not rocking, then tighten everything up?

It's an issue of the base not being perfect because it's ceramic. Similar thing happens frequently with the fireboxes not sitting perfectly flat in the interior. The latter is resolved by ash stabilizing the firebox or I have heard of folks actually sanding the firebox down to sit in the bottom better.

Nice looking setup, congrats!

If you've got any felt gasket material laying around, that'll work, too.
