Building a table for the BGE......

edited November -1 in EggHead Forum
I'm about to purchase my first BGE (medium size) and I'd like a little info on building a table. I know what I want to build (roughly 3 X 6 wooden table) but I've read that the bottom of the egg can sometimes get too hot. Can someone help me on what material to use to rest the egg on? Thanks.

    TideJoe,
    First of all, welcome to the family. Please be sure to post often and let us know how your success and failures turn out.[p]Check out TheNakedWhiz.com and on his site, there are plans for tables and a photo album of several forum members tables (mine is not there).[p]I use a round 2" thick patio stone. There are many options and the patio stone is just one of them. Good luck with your project. Post pics if you have a camera![p]Cheers,
    Banker John

    Banker John,[p]Thanks for the welcome. I'll be sure you keep you guys updated. I'm ready to try it all. My wife and I love to grill fish (grouper, snapper, AJ, tuna, etc) pork loin, filet mignon, chicken etc. I've never owned a smoker so I've never done any ribs or butts but I'm ready to tackle it.[p]Take it easy,[p]Joey

    TideJoe,
    Banker John gave you great advice. What about the feet that come with the egg?
    Welcome and I'm always open to different ideas and recipes.[p]CWM

    Car Wash Mike,[p]Thanks Mike. The wife and I are okay with beef but we can cook some pork loins and gulf fish like no other (I'm a little biased ofcourse :^) I'm hoping the egg will allow me to branch out with the beef, ribs, pork, etc and improve what we're already good at.
