I just put my egg into the new table. Still need to add some hooks, bottle opener, etc.

    Many tables on here a very similar, This  table stands out to be to be a little different.  I'm a fan and am thinking this may be the table plan for me.  Curious of which type of wood you went with.

    Looks great!  If I may offer some humble advice...I would go with another paver (or a thicker one).  This will create more of a heat barrier on the bottom, but also give you more of a gap in the top where the hole is cut.  It appears to fit a little tight.

    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    Great looking table and while it is a bit late, did you use a mortise and tenon for your cross beam joints or another method?  I have purchased cedar to build a table but was looking to do get the clean look that is obtained with such joints.

    I guess it is about time for me to build a table for my XL.  I am looking at cedar as well.  Although, there is some lumber at my grandmothers farm that was cut by my grandfather 50-60 yrs ago on their very own sawmill.  They had a saw blade that was at least 3-4ft in diameter powered by an old tractor PTO.  It may have been poplar and some locust.  But is is well weathered.

    I would recut the hole. You need a bigger gap. I found out the hard way. Did a pizza, shut down the egg, fell asleep on the couch and woke up several hours later and my fiancee asked me why the egg was still on. The egg wasn't on she could see the flames from my burning table. The bottom vent was closed completly and the ceramic top was on so there were no sparks just the heat from the egg ignited the table and it didn't happen right away because I was awake for awhile before I fell asleep.

    Wow,  that sucks!  That the first I've heard of the top of the table burning (that wasn't caused by an inproper paver or no paver at all on the bottom).
