Anybody have any clue on where I can get my hand on some plans on how to build a egg table for a large. I'm not the best builder but I would say average. Looking for some type of plan that lays everything out for me like materials needed and step by step instructions.

    Buy a nest and a stainless work table. The nest won't catch on fire. Search my history if you want to see what can happen

    Copper, arsenic, etc are used in the preservative chemicals.... Not something I'd want to injest. That's SWMBO's occupation....

    Granted, arsenic compounds are no longer permitted for residential use; but there's a lot of us that don't follow the rules, now, do we????

    All I can tell you pressure treated lumber is used on tables / pickic tables / chairs / decks etc etc ... Today's pressure treated lumber doesn't have the harsh chemical that were used in the past CCA copper chromate arsenic ... They are not allowed any more ... I would not hesitate to use pressure treated on your tables I would however not set my food on the material as I would not set my food on any wood surface for that matter ... Most people don't set their food on the table surface anyway even SS tables ... If you want a food prep area use an insert if tiles or a stainless steel cut out that is easily washable or bring a cutting board from your kitchen
