Why BGE discontinued the 3 green feet

in Off Topic
Yesterday at the Peoria Eggfest I asked the BGE distributor's rep why the feet were discontinued. He spun his reply as to be a silent service to customers. He said since the flat part of the feet wasn't thick enough a stepping stone or such barrier was still needed to protect a wooden table from fire. That does make sense now and the metal stand is much taller so a stone base is no longer needed.

    Interesting. I still have the 3 ceramic feet that came with my egg. Before I got the AR, I used them to lift the drip pan off of the platesetter (worked great for that) - couldn't really find another use for them?

    I like the ceramic feet myself. As others have already said above, I use them inside of the egg more than anything else.

    The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.

    Mine are slowly, but surely disintegrating. They have been out in the weather for 5+ years and are starting to crumble. Big chunks of green... gone! They still hold up my mini though.

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    They need to rename them "pizza feet" and re-continue them!  :angry:

    That AND they didn't have enough points of contact for such a heavy base. That is why they didn't ship with the XL.

    I tossed mine the day I got my egg and out it in a nest. Kinda wish I kept them.
