Hey all,
I have owned my large egg for years now. I have been using the nest it came in. Recently I wanted a table. I found Naked Whiz plans online and used those for the dimensions. I used my background in cabinetry to modify his plans to the way I do my own woodworking. Basically, I am really proud of the finished product. 

I used western cedar lumber, finished it with a Minwax stain and Helmsman/Minwax VOC varnish. I am proud of the way it turned out. 

I posted up some pictures.

Like many people in this forum, I am currently in the process of building a more permanent home for my BGE. After going through countless threads, we've come up with the design which will have a 2 inch concreter countertop, drawer, and cabinet for storage. The entire frame will ultimately be wrapped with reclaimed wood however, the interior frame is comprised with PT Fire Retardant wood. Yes, before people comment, I know wood is flammable but trust me, that has been taken into the design by making sure the space between the egg and any wood is more than enough distance so that there is little to no heat transfer. The egg will be sitting on a table nest which will rest on another slap of concrete.

None-the-less, my question is pertaining to water proofing so that the interior cabinet/drawers are as water tight as possible. I wanted to see if anyone has used applications like Mapelastic Aquadefense or RedGard before for any project like this. Both are exterior quality and I might be over thinking it but I want to make sure that all this effort in building a table will last as long as possible.

I am really hung up on my height dimensions for my XL BGE.  I plan on having a Table Nest along with a granite top and plan to put granite on theportion where the egg would sit.  Anyone see any issues?  

I figure 34" tall would be fine with 5" casters, but the 5" drawer area under the egg seems small.  Thoughts?  Also, I want to make sure that I am incorporating the table nest height correctly.  I am allowing 15" from the top of the shelf to the top.  Any guidance would be awesome!

Here's a table I built for my Large BGE.  It's made from 1 x 6 tongue & groove cedar siding (because it was on sale at 84 Lumber!).  The compartment on the left contains my BGE accessories and a small bag of charcoal.  Finished with four coats of spar varnish.

 Hello everyone.   I have my first egg coming on  the 31st after a demo thing from the dealer.   Its an XL and I built a table for it.   But the bge covers in the picture on the website appear to have the egg sitting more in the middle of the table than off to the left.   Wondering if anyone knows where i can find dimensions for where i need to be cutting the hole for the egg?   They have a new cover for 2017 and everything I've found searching combed up with the older cover.  Thanks for the help!

Hi All - Just bought the LBGE late last year and I love it. 
All the tables that hold the egg seemed way over-priced and most look like there is no storage at all.
This might not be as nice looking - but it sure is handy to have all my "stuff" at my fingertips..
thoughts?

I am a new owner of the Large BGE. I found this forum in hopes to get some expert advice on how I should build a outdoor table for my new large BGE. I have been doing some research on table plans and have a pretty good idea of the plan I want.

What kind of advices do you have for me that I will need to look into when building this table?

Also, I see a lot of partial granite counter tops in some of the designs. Can anybody tell me why is this?

Any advice and help is appreciated.

Took all of one year (and a Wisconsin winter) to destroy my wood table.
This new one should last 100 years or so...

For anyone thinking about building a table and using the large cover. My table is 41 inches from the right side to the center of the egg and as you can see, it's about 3 inches off. It should be about 38 inches. Hope this helps somebody.

I recently reserved a LBGE at the upcoming Mountain Eggfest.  I decided I needed to build a table.  My in-laws had quite a bit of Louisiana cypress left over after building their house in the N GA mountains.  Much of it was pecky that they had used for interior paneling.

I looked over the forum and found a few tables that I thought I might copy.  I used nakedwhiz's plans for the basic dimensions, but made a few modifications.

I still have to make a few doors, but I think it came out OK for a first try.

My cypress table began to become rickety, so I did lots of research and pulled the trigger for my custom LG BGE stainless table from Outdoor Kitchen Equipment. I went in with my CuzN' and ordered 2 tables (XL & LG). We picked them up at the freight line to save on shipping cost. I highly recommend these tables. Here some pics:

I have been on Google and the Search function on the site for about half the afternoon with no results.

Not looking for anything crazy fancy. Pressure treated wood, no cabinets, just the little storage area in the center and an area underneath and on casters. I am going to build a tin roof for it and run electrical out, but it will be staying out in the elements so I am not going to break the bank building this one. (also I don't think I'll be in this home but a few years) This is @johnkitchens that was posted a while back but reading the thread it sounded like he had his built. Same idea just cheaper material.



Just wanted to see if anyone had any measurements or building instructions prior to me just eyeballing this project. Thanks in advance.

New egg owner after years of being envious of friends that have one. Built table this weekend after getting plenty of ideas and tips from this site. Still plenty of coats of spar varnish to go plus paver and of course dropping the egg in, but this is how far I got in a weekend. Kreg Jig and some cold beer got me through it.

It's not quite done, but here's my new outdoor kitchen, built out of concrete, featuring the XL BGE, a Blaze Pro 34" Grill (Go ahead and say it - why didn't I just put two Eggs in), shelving, drawers, and a 60" Fire Pit on the Counter.  

One of the big debates I had was whether to lay the Egg directly on the concrete or to put it in a nest.  I read a lot of Egghead debate about that before installing.  So I built a channel underneath the Egg that lets air flow.  I'm not sure it needs the air, but it's there if needed, and it feels more stable than a next on the XL.  I've had the Egg since 2012, and I have two cooks on it in the new outdoor kitchen.  Three racks of ribs are on it right now!  

I hope the air channel gives some of you who are in the planning process another alternative.  

Thanks to all of you for all of your inspiration and contributions.  

-Mike

I was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction on where to purchase the feet that people are using under their Big Green Egg to allow for better air movement.
