    Welcome aboard and continue to enjoy the journey.
    An observation-there have been a good number of table fires caused when the BGE was only on a paver.  The wood below charred and eventually ignited-this was over time, or in one case the wood failed and the BGE (with burning lump) dumped and away it went.  You may want to give strong consideration to  air-gapping the base even with the paver.

    Thanks for the heads up.Do you think the big green egg table nest would resolve the issue?

    I have my BGE's in the true nest not a table configuration but from others the nest is certainly sufficient to create the spacing.  If you have the green BGE feet from a few years ago, they would do the trick as well.

    Lots of SoCal folks on this forum...  I'm from La Canada Flintridge, CA.

    @MNWILKO - Nice looking setup.  I've only had my BGE for a couple days and I'm already thinking about adding another one.  Welcome to the forum.
