Nice! If you use ash tool as opposed to vacuum for ash removal, you may want to consider teaming it up with this:

Looking good @DrScotch and welcome aboard.  Don’t get rid of those green feet.  You may find them helpful to create an air gap between your platesetter and drip pan.  I’ll also use them to lift a dutch oven off the platesetter From time to time. They can come in handy.

After the almost disaster I rebuilt my table and put granite under the egg. 

And that was with gap between slats for ventilation 😀

Sorry have to ask, how long have you had the granite and do you check under it periodically?

Wow, I missed @JRWhitee 's post, and @Canugghead 's response, the first time.  These pics change everything for me; I'll be redesigning my table to make some changes.
 
Note that I designed my table maybe 6 years ago or so, and have the purchased wood for 5 years now.  No excuse as a retiree anymore....

And @DrScotch , years ago I built a home bar and used that epoxy finish on the bar top, which was simple flake particle board.  A very unique look.  Be aware that it never truly hardens; if you set something heavy on top of it (in my case it was an old A/V receiver) the finish will eventually dimple under the weight.  The good news is that, once removed, the finish will re-level over the next few months!

FWIW:  wrap your platesetter in HDAF and cleanup will be a breeze!

we put a platform under most eggs on our tables even though the heat isnt a problem for the stainless

Looks good.  Welcome aboard.

I have a table for my large, but still need one for my xl. Also being a lefty, I had planned to put the egg on the right too. I noticed that right away. Nice work.

Thank you for this! As you can see, I had to learn that the hard way!

Wow- great idea! I do still have them, and will look for opportunities like you mentioned!

OK, everyone's told you about the table nest ... I'd get it.  On another note, put a drip pan on the conveggtor (plate setter) ... and wrap it with aluminum foil.  Will keep that conveggtor clean and also prevent your drippings from burning up, which gives a sour taste to food.

Many also just so slightly raise their drip pan off the conveggtor, using foil balls or I use stainless cable mounts (basically just a half circle to secure cable to walls).  This keeps the drip pan a bit cooler and prevents that burn.

Darn, beat me to it. I was also going to say add drip pan.  My platesetter got a little gross before I got a pan and spider from CGS.  It did clean out though with a burnout.
