My (temporary) redneck table

Howdy,

Thought I'd post this, as I got a laugh out of it. As time was approaching, I knew I wouldn't be able to finish building the actual table in time for Memorial Day. However, I still wanted to get the Egg off the ground, so I did like any man would do - I adapted, I overcame.

Utilizing an old apartment-sized refrigerator, some firebricks, and the top off of a stainless table, I came up with this (hey, it works - and the cool thing is, I can store Eggcessories inside the refrigerator!!

Yup, that works. Just remember to raise the egg off the firebrick with the 3 green feet.

There's about a 1" gap all the way around each brick, no brick is touching another brick.

So I'm curious - you're saying I should STILL put the Egg on the feet? why is that?

Also, in this (temporary) setup, I'm afraid the weight of the Egg on the feet might "push" or "scoot" the bricks apart even further, to the point they might allow the Egg to fall (there's nothing holding the bricks in place).

Well you got me thinking, so I did a search and like with most things, some do and some don't. Even with firebrick, paver stone, whatever, the heat is going to transfer to what the bricks are sitting on. Having an air space does lessen that. Probably more important when in a wood table set up. If you don't use them under the egg, you may find uses for them with cooks.

Nothing wrong with that- a good conversation piece

My egg was literally "up on blocks", yes, cinder blocks the first night before my table was ready. You can just barely see it below:
