Feet for the Egg in a table

in Off Topic
Just got an egg and table second hand. I added a second paver to get the egg high enough out of the table to get some better clearance around the egg itself. I started doing some reading on the pavers getting hot after a family friend told me about the pavers over heating and charring the wood underneath them causing an egg to fall. I foun d some ceramic feet on amazon that I think I want to buy. But there are two different brands and I want them to match the color of my egg. The  brands are FIRECOW and Dracary's. Have any of you used either of these feet before? I have provided links to both below.

    it needs to be at least 2" high, big green egg makes a table nest, and JJ George makes one also, the JJ George one is one stick out from the sides of the egg.

    The air gap from a table nest will provide more protection.

    In cooking, often we implement steps for which we have no explanations other than ‘that’s what everybody else does’ or ‘that’s what I have been told.’  Dare to think for yourself.

    The ones you linked to appear very similar to the ones BGE used to include with the Egg, so either one should work.

    It's interesting that they sell them in a four-pack. For best stability, just use three of them and keep the fourth for a spare.

    Why aren't you getting the table nest? What are you saving like $30?

    Last time I was in my dealer, I noticed this and will be buying one if/when I ever get a table built.

    EDIT:  Oh, and that might've been what @Mark_B_Good was talking about, I didn't know the name of it.

    Not sure where the OP is located. For those of us next to the coast, that thing will be rusted in multiple pieces in a year. That's why I used ceramics.
