New Egg Table Build...Need Some Finishing Touch Advice

Quite a while ago I started my first egg table build based on this thread https://eggheadforum.com/discussion/1157985/cedar-table#latest.  I have used primarily pocket holes to put this thing together, with the exception of the attaching the 2x4 frame to the 4x4's, which I used some large screw-in bolts (no washer/nuts).  I am hoping that this setup will be strong enough. I finally have gotten around to finishing it and am about to put my Large BGE in it.  I have a couple questions that I'd like to get some info about from those of you that are experienced with this.

For the bottom, I bought these ceramic feet for it to sit on.  Will these be good to sit the egg on or do I also need some kind of stone?  Of course I want the right support but I am also concerned about the heat.  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CP1MP9J/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Another thing I am starting to think about is having some kind of area to sit down hot things and/or to be able to cut things on.  The hot items part is the main priority, but a cutting area would be a nice add-on.  So what kind of suggestions would you have about that?  I have seen a few examples of things from sitting some kind of stone/board on top of the table to ones that people cut an insert into the table top.  I'd rather not cut into the table, at least not right now, because I am just now finishing the thing and want to get it out of my garage and onto my patio.

I just ordered a cover for the whole table and am hoping that it will fit the whole thing.  I did poly the whole cedar table and it will stay outside full-time once I put it out, but I want to keep it covered to that it stays in nice shape.

Thanks.
