    @travisstrick‌ Well, THAT just blew all my internet preconceived notions to hell! :)

    Not sure if that's a good thing or not.
    Be careful, man! I've got a beverage here.

    @PNWFoodie You can't trust an avatar to be accurate. Now in the case of @Eggcelsior‌ it may be a scan of his current photo ID.

    Agree with RRP on the potlifter.  Makes it easy to move a medium.  I have transported mine in the back of a Ford Explorer with no problem.  I also agree with Travis.  I'm 6-1 and have moved the Medium by myself, but it wasn't easy.  I was nervous as heck that I would drop it!  I hope to not be in that position again!

    @DMW It wasn't the avatar...although I do like to think of him that way. :)) @travisstrick‌ I just assumed you to be older, since you are so very wise in the ways of Q

    Thanks for all the responses guys.  Unfortunately it's a non-issue because I got snaked on the deal.  Person clammed up and the next response I got was that it had sold.

    $400 for a MBGE and nest plus some tools and lump seemed too good to be true anyway....
    Next time you have a shot at a medium for $400.00 with a nest in good shape you better just jump on it. I bought my medium to take to our NC home in the summer and I could put it in and out of my ford expedition myself, took the fire ring and fire box out then put them back inside the egg for the ride. My wife would hold the nest by the car when unloading it. AS for needing to move a hot egg, just take the lump out with welders gloves, take the fire ring and fire box out and leave the dome open and in 30 minutes it will be cool enough to load and go. Oh the $400.00 was to good to be true! I have been lucky enough to get 2 eggs 1 lg 1med used for a great price only because I did not hesitate and just told the seller I would buy.

    I'm only hungry when I'm awake!

    Its a long story that some on the forum know but I basically had a credit card with no limit to buy whatever food I wanted and lived on my own since I was 16. I cooked a lot.

    I think this would work for the medium but I'd measure just to be sure.

    @Big_Green_Craig - Do you know Ted at Outdoors Three65 personally?  I ordered the egg lifter a few days back and am trying to get some information on shipping but no one is answering via Ted's email or the sales email at Outdoors.

    Its one bolt to remove the dome and then quick to empty the insides. I'm average size 6' and 200 pounds and I took my XL out of its table and into its new nest by myself without any issues.
