Hi All,
After many years of waiting, I'm finally getting my first BGE & joining the ranks of you fellow EggHeads. Obviously want the best for my egg, so it's home will be a cedar table. I went with an XL Egg / Table Nest but unfortunately it hasn't been delivered yet so I've been basing my dimensions off of research I've found on this forum (huge help!) & the rest of the internet.
So far the build is going well & surprisingly on schedule. I'm going to do the cuts for the support pieces for the egg tonight & want to (re) confirm that I'm using the right dimensions before I tie everything in. The XL Egg will be sitting on a Table Nest. So based on the official BGE site's table plans, my (infamous) A dimension should be 14.5" (12.5" + 2" for the table nest) which means I'll be cutting out a 26.25" table top opening for the XL egg, correct? At that A dimension, how much of a gap will that leave between the Egg & table top / how high will the top of the egg sit from the finished table? Based on the pictures I've seen, that gap will be pretty snug but about a 1/4 inch right?
So my finished table top will be 1" & the table nest will be sitting on a 1" piece of stone which will sit directly on support studs. So the top of my support stud should be 14.5' down from top of the table frame (w/o the table top), eg. 11.5" + 2" table nest + 1" stone = 14.5".
Ideally I'd prefer to make the cut after I have the egg in possession, but I'm trying to get the table ready so the delivery guys can drop it right in & saves me from doing it myself. Please correct me if I'm missing something...
