My awesome mother in law got me a small egg to accompany my large. Now I just got to decide if I need to build a new table or just get a best to hold me over for now. Can you guys give me some ideas on when y'all use 2 eggs for one cook.

I think you mean nest. I have a small in a nest and it is not very stable since it is so light. I have an XL and small and will be putting them both in one table.XL, large and small. Hartwell GA on beautiful Lake Hartwell.

Yes I meant nest

I keep mine in a nest and have had no problems with it wanting to tip over but I'm on a concrete patio. FWIW & YMMV.
Not to get technical, but according to chemistry alcohol is a solution...

I have a large and small both still in the nest with no issues. For the 2 egg cook i have done meat on 1 with app on the other followed by sides when apps are done. This works well with low and slow cooks. I have done apps on both at the same time, one was indirect and the other direct. 2 egg cooks dont happen alot here but when i need to it is nice to have the capabilities.-----------------------------------------analyze adapt overcome2008 -Large BGE. 2013- Small BGE and 2015 - Mini.

Can you guys give me some ideas on when y'all use 2 eggs for one cook.As for a table vs. a nest here is a pix of my large and small in a table I made. Note the fold down work area on the side so I can still get a standard cover on my eggs. Also note the drawer under the small which serves as a riser and storage.BTW YOU have a GREAT mother in law!!!Re-gasketing America one yard at a time.

I was looking at the naked whiz stainless steel cart and it seems pretty simple and it's cheaper than a nest
-
I just bought a small to go with my large I built it into a table but by spring I'm gonna weld up a portable nest to take places. Since it's only 77 lbs I'm not ginna put wheels on it just nice handles has to be stable

I would think that if you plan on taking it anywhere eventually you would want both a permanent home for it at the house and a nest or cart of some sort to use while camping, tailgating, traveling, etc.I raise my kids, cook and golf.

As for cook ideas, I use the large and small whenever I need two different cooking zones. My wife does not eat mammal (she's a nurse, and has triaged too many accidents), so I'll generally have pig or beef on the large, and bird or fish on the small. For Christmas, I had prime rib on the large, going from 500 to 350, and a brined turkey breast on the small cooking at 240. Both for about 3 hours. It was great having multiple cooking zones. Had about 20 potatoes cooking on a third zone using my Traeger at 350 for about 1 1/2 hours.XL BGE - Large BGE - Small BGE - Traeger Lil' Tex Elite - Weber Smokey Joe

We'll I got lucky today and found a table and bge long table cover that's less than a year old for $20. I spent more on gas than I did the table. I never get on Craig's list but it sure paid off today

Costco rolling cutting cart works great as a small holder. About 60 bucks-Here it is with the cutting board set proper-Proud resident of Missoula, MThttps://www.facebook.com/GrillingMontanahttp://grillingmontana.com

Cool...but talk about a top heavy accident waiting to happen...and on a wooden deck besides. Be careful, my friend, be VERY careful!Re-gasketing America one yard at a time. -
Thjis is one of those Costco tables. Cost right at $60 and jsut a few minutes with a reciprocating saw to notch out the top layer for the egg. Very handy.

I'm with @RRP - the high center of gravity on those Costco tables makes me nervous.#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX.

I too am getting a small for Xmas. Just have to go pick it up. The Naked Whiz has a small cart on his website built with a rolling cart from Sam's. www.nakedwhiz.com/smallcart/cartsmall.htm Our local one has it. I think I am going to give it a try. Anyone built it?

This is the table I got for 20 bucks and they gave me a BGE cover with it.

O yea I definitely got lucky. I would still like to build something portable for just when I needed it.Charlesmaneri said:

I like to sear on the small and finish off cooking on my large. Here is a post from both of my eggs in action. A tribute to my ELF, Henapple!For Christmas I had a 11.5 lb ham on the small and a 14 lb turkey on the large, and saved that glorified timer in the kitchen for the sides.Large & Small BGE, CGW Two-Tier Swing Rack for BOTH EGGS, Spider for the Wok, eggCARTen & and Cedar Pergola my Eggs call home in Edmond, OK.

I was looking at some accessories and was wondering what's the purpose of the Woo? does it just raise the grid up a little bit
-
Your are correct with the woo raising the grate. My woo stays in my small almost 100% of the time. I don't like trying to use a Spatchula down in that small hole. The woo also will hold a stone so you can cook indirect rather than buying a PS. It's really make reverse sear easy because you can lift the woo out and drop you grid back down on the fire. Best of both worlds IMO-----------------------------------------analyze adapt overcome2008 -Large BGE. 2013- Small BGE and 2015 - Mini. Henderson, Ky.
