I am a little nervous I am moving my xl from the rolling nest into a table. it appears to be wedged in the nest pretty good. I have two others helping move it. Any advice?

Take everything out and take the dome off first! Takes a little te to reassemble but worth it.Central Valley CA One large egg One chocolate lab "Halle" two chiuahuas "Skittles and PeeWee"

I only have larges, but with two other people you should be able to do it. When I moved my larges into a table I removed everything from inside the egg. I thought about taking the dome off, but I didn't.
We were able to lift it with the dome still on. If you are concerned I would take the dome off just to be sure.
Good luck!

Just have someone put their foot on the nest...the egg will pop out.Green egg, dead animal and alcohol. The "Boro".. TN

I have removed my large from the nest a couple times. When I upgraded from a really old nest to a new model. And when transporting another time. Taking out all the insides and having someone help me got it to pop out. It was pretty easy.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Strongsville, OhioYes.

First of all you have to lift it out of the nest and up to the table. I am short so for me i think i would need some sort of a wide step. The bigger problem though is lowering into the hole in the table. I might look at sliding two 2x4 through the table under the hole as a cradle one man each side like holding wheelbarrow handles. Then lower it down. The egg has nothing to grip on the outside and once you get down to rim level what are you holding ontoColumbus, Ohio--A Gasser filled with Matchlight and an Ugly Drum.

Have moved our XL several times. Take it apart and it can be moved by one person. I moved it from the nest to a table by myself....and I have a bad back...

I always take it apart then grab the bottom vent from the inside and lift with that hand and steady it with the other hand.
