Hello,
This is my first post here on the BGE forum. I have been lurking around on the site over the past year since purchasing my XL BGE. Currently, I have been using the nest that I purchased with my egg, but need some counter top space and room to store my place setter, pizza stone, and all other grilling accessories. So after much research on this site, I drew up a table plan which includes two doors, a center drawer, and a concrete counter top. I have been working on the table for the past few weeks and am about 90% finished with it. I still have to make the drawer, polish the concrete top and nest for the egg, add hardware, and seal the Brazilian teak decking.
The plan
Recently purchased the XL BGE. spent the winter building the table
Had some time today and decided to make some enchiladas. Started with a spatchcocked chicken.
Cut some stone stuff up and made a sauce.
Put it all together.
Baked it for awhile.
It was a good dinner.
Guys, not sure if anyone saw it or not but JJ George just released a new Table nest. they are $37.99 but built right in town here in north alabama, so american owned and made. i am a little biased to this one as i helped out on the desgin. can be a hot plate for cast iron or table nest and works will all cookers not just the egg. if your using a paver, this is significantly safer product to use.
thanks for looking.
I've had a mini max for a couple of years but use it rarely favoring my old Large BGE which sits comfortably in a convenient wood table. The mini max is pretty slick so far as I can tell...but I haven't been able to find a decent table for it. Sometimes I use my large BGE simply because it is easier (because of its table), however, I'd use the mini max far more often if I had it sitting appropriately. Darn that mini max is heavy to lift and move around! (yes..I'm getting old).
I don't want to build a table...I've been down that road before. Anyone recently find some brilliant and reasonably durable table for the mini max? That JJGeorge table looks great but I don't want to spend $400. I saw an old thread or two but nothing recent. Help appreciated.

Got my first egg (XL) in January, bought a nest with it, but my brother-in-laws surprised me by building a table for my birthday. Don’t have any pictures of the process, but I think it turned out really well. Made of cedar.
This is my first post. My kids got me a LBGE last Fathers Day and I’ve been wanting a table. Read all of the forum posts and spent hours on Pinterest and finally started this project this winter and it’s a slow process in an unheated shop in central Ohio. I still have to seal the concrete top and of utmost importance get a proper beverage opener added!
Recently sold my large egg and upgraded to an XL. Built a new table from my old deck scraps. Hoping i like the larger size. Oah
