Last Sunday I cooked pizza on the Egg. While preheating it, I left the cap off for way too long and the temp got up to 1200 or so (the gauge wrapped around). I got the temp down, finished my cooking at about 7:30PM and shut down the egg. At 0100 Monday morning I was awakened to a bright light in my bedroom window. I went out to discover the starboard side of the Egg table in flames. I successfully extinguished it with no apparent damage to the Egg.
Now I have to do something about the table. My first thought was to chuck it and replace it with a stainless table; however, that's $$$. The current plan is to replace all the top deck boards. I'm somewhat queasy about using - who knows if it could happen a second time?
But most of the tables in use are wood and this doesn't seem to happen all the time. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
John
