Any recommendation as far as the attachable side tables / shelves. Wood or compost ore or third party?

jjgeorgestore.com get yourself a grill torch to get the egg going quick.  also on amazon.  then use what you have a for a while and learn what you want next.  then when your ready to split with your cash head over to the ceramic grill store.  i would also recommend the kick ash basket makes clean up a breeze, i have the kick ash can as well ad it makes things even easier.  i would also suggest a decent instant read, i like the thermo pop.

Enjoy!!

They are easy to build. I like my concrete top the most as it’s easier to clean. 

Here is how I built mine

The two things I'm glad I bought early on: Kick Ash Basket & a raised grid. 

I wish I saved the money I spent on a Party Q temp controller.  While it works fine, I haven't found use for it in a couple years.

I plan to get the Cuna cart from Ceramic Grill Store when I buy my large. You might go to their website and check it out. I had planned to order one by late this week but this morning I found out that I would be buying a complete set of tires by then instead. A nail in the sidewalk of a tire that had 54,000 miles on it.

For the same price as two small side shelves, you can buy a nice sized stainless table. It's an option.

Enjoy the egg. I've had mine for 5 or 6 years now. I have not purchased anything other than "factory items" The only one being a platesetter when I bought my egg new. I'm ready to upgrade the hinge system though. The old style on the LBGE is trash compared to the new style. My hinge system keeps binding up. 

There is a lot of good advice up above!
