Building a fire on a flammable deck attached to a flammable house is just stupid. No offense.
I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

If it's so stupid, then it's puzzling as to why so many wood BGE tables have NOT caught on fire. I don't have a wood deck but I wouldn't hesitate to egg on one if I did.Cooking on a Large Big Green Egg in North Chicagoland.

Folks on here have had bad luck with wood tables and eggs. A few I think have even had their houses catch fire. Hence the hostility. It’s understandable that some would be cautious. Good luck with your build. Looks like it’s gonna be a nice size deck.

That’s why I moved my XL from the nest to the Challenger Cart.

No hostility intended. I just think it's asking for trouble to build a fire on a flammable surface. Heard of too many guys who lost their houses.

My deck is composite , not lumber , don’t know if that makes a difference . But since I’m stupid I won’t bother with pics when it is done .

Agree @johnnyp. I understand the comment and logic @Carolina Q , but your wording comes across like you're more trying to be a jerk than actually give advice. Much better ways to phrase that and get your point across. Just my 2 cents.

just swap the paver out for a table nest and your table will get much safer. with anything their is risk but a simple air gap greatly reduces that problem.

Nice job on the deck. As the owner of an old, weathered and well used table I am looking forward to seeing the table restore. Keep posting pics of your progress.-Jody Newell (LBGE & a 36" Blackstone griddle).

Your deck is looking awesome. Take a look at my thread “started table build”. You have pretty mush the same set up. I built my out of scrap lumber I had and got some new stuff as well.
with what you have you can make that one look great again...lots of sanding + wood filler...and paint.Eastern Shore Virginia

One meal sometime back I was thinking, I am eating a steak that was cooked on a charcoal pit that is sitting on a wooden deck that is connected to a house that had to be rebuilt because it had burned down. If they can live with that, bless their hearts. -

Let that roll off your shoulders. We wanna see the completed outdoor space. Thousands of people have wooden decks with grills and don't burn their houses down. As long as you are careful you will be fine. Sure shite happens but that's what fire extinguishers or water hoses are for.Rockwall, Tx LBGE, Minimax, 22" Blackstone, Pizza Party Bollore.

My egg is on my covered back porch. Granted my porch is concrete but I could just as easily when doing a high heat sear have a spark fly out the top, catch my wife's hanging baskets that sit above my egg on fire and burn my house down, but that doesn't keep me from doing it. Some people are just very cautious.

mine is in a wooden table on my back porch. I did all the math about the egg in a wooden table and its very safe with an air gap under it with a table nest or something that is not a concrete paver. just for fun I recently got one of the laser thermometers and checked my calculations and it was dead on the heat drop over the air gap. like others have said maybe keep an extinguisher handy I probably should get one but who knows.
cant wait to see the final product.
