Does anyone know if I have to remove the whole band assembly to install my eggmates on my XL?I have to put the bolts in the band,and don't want to remove everything to do it,as I plan on cooking on it shortly

I know for a fact on the large you have to install the bolts from the inside of the band; as I just took off a set. I assume this is the same for the XL.Visit my blog, dedicated to my Big Green Egg Recipies at http://www.bigtsbge.blogspot.com You can also follow my posts on FaceBook under the name Keep On Eggin' or the link http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Keep-On-Eggin/198049930216241

Yea Tony,I understand where the bolts go :huh: I was wanting to know if I have to remove the whole band,or if I could simply loosen the bottom band enouph to get the bolts in
-
Doug,
It think you could try it and if it doesn't work, you might have to take if apart.
I would only think that it would take maybe an hour to do either method.
Greg -
Thanks Greg,I might just try it and see.If I can't get the egg back together,I can always use the other ones
-
Doug,
Just loosen the lower band enough to get the bolts through from the inside. -
Thanks Rod,that's what I wanted to hear :woohoo:
-
You may have to completely remove the bolt from the bottom band to get enough slack in the band, but that's it.
-
Cool,can't wait to try these things out.I just reassembled them after the 4th coat of poly.Thanks for your help Fidel,I will send you some of this rain that I just got :silly:
:woohoo:
-
It may not matter if you only loosen the bottom band but I would attach the hinge retainer (plastic -shipped with the egg) just to make sure the band doesn't want to open.
-
Thanks,but the plastic retainer is not needed for the XL
-
Seriously, you have like a hundred of them.
Greg -
I'll take it, but I got a little over an inch last night (finally).
-
JB WELD??? :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :evil:
Your welcome buddy -
Heeyyy, I aint had no rain!!!
-
Allright Fidel,it sounds like you got plenty of rain.I think i'll have to send it to Bacchus
:silly:
-
I got a tease of rain.
In fact, set up the umbrella over the EGG, as I am doing ribs today. Then, the storm came in.
ALL 5 DROPS OF IT!!!
Greg -
Thats 4 more drops than I got after putting away the sander and all the table refinishing tools. :( . Gonna run the sprinklers now.
-
Damn Pat,I don't think that I can send it that far.Anyway,I already gave it to Ron
:laugh:
