I've been coming up with the plans for my new LBGE table. Normally, I just come up with plans in my head and build it. This table is a little harder in the head measurements so I put it down on paper. That's is a good thing because my original plan I put down was too small once I started thinking about it. I decided to reference the plans on the Nakid Whiz website to see how big their table was. Seems like they have very little clearance between the egg and the frame. Also noticed that they have a 2x4 marked as 4" in their plans. I haven't seen an actual 2"x4" lumber unless it was expensive or old lumber.
Anyway, I put my plans down on paper and started measuring stuff in my head. The table kept growing and growing. I'm currently at (roughly) 32" x 63". Part of the width is required because I am using a piece of scrap granite leftover from my kitchen remodel. That's an 18"x32" piece from the stove cutout. It's the depth that seems really big to me once I laid it out. Now mind you, I just have a large. Would hate to see how big it ends up as an XL. The area for the egg is 31-5/8" x 31-5/8 with a 2" lip on the front and one side. That gives 1.5" of clearance between the egg and the 2x4 frame. Does that seem too big? I can drop the clearance down, but this will be under a covered patio and I'd hate for a fire to start during a low and slow or a hot burn for a pizza or steak sear. Only part close to the egg will be the wood table top (21.5" hole) and ceramic tiles on 2x4s under the nest.
I don't have to worry about gates or anything to fit through. This will be built in the garage, pushed to the back yard on casters and be GTG.
