    I have the same problem as the previous member. The nest egg is so tight that the large egg does not fall in the right place.
    what should I do?
    A picture might help.  I have had eggs that seem harder to get in there than others.  I have had to kind of rock it back and forth to get it in.  As a visual, I only put the base in the egg first and add everything else later, allows me to ease it in there better.  Welcome to the forum @JPfin

    Who are all these people?
     
    And, kidding aside, Welcome JPfin.  If you could post a pic of your set up that may help us troubleshoot.
    And don't trust a dealer's assembly skills; I almost lost my Large on Day One due to finger-tight/missing bolts.

    Easter was last month!
    Edit: @JPfin - welcome aboard and enjoy the journey.  Above all have fun.
    You have landed in the right place to get assistance with any BGE related issues and a whole lot more.  The breadth and depth of the skill-sets here are extremely impressive.

    My neighbour helped me and we managed to push it all the way down!
    Now I just need to first heat it to 305-480F for 1-2hrs and let it then rest and cool down before using it. Or am I right?

    I don't know anything about them, but they are assembled mechanical devices and as such have a certain amount of "play" (large tolerances) designed into them.  So try loosening the nuts and bolts and making more room for the egg before tightening them back up.  Also, you can bend the metal to help it fit.

    Beautiful egg and yard. I wouldn't  go over 300 for burn in. Also, it appears you left the vinyl(?) caps on the four nest arms, if so I recommend you get rid of them...They could get fused with the ceramic glaze.

    They are useful if you cook fusion style food.

    The caps probably explain the difficulty in seating the egg.
