Yes a gap at the bottom

 

[TedW]

Sorry. I was meaning the gap where the egg is recessed into the table top.

Is there a table building section on this forum? Also, does the egg surface heat up enough that the wood table needs to have a big gap? I see a few tables with very large gaps.

this link should be helpful.....

Nice link... Thanks. Do these eggs heat up enough that there needs to be that significant a gap between egg agd table top?

I have BGEs and a Big Steel Keg. Love them both. The Keg is much easier to move around and you can get an adapter to put in on a trailer hitch.

If you go with a BGE, look for an Eggfest - great deals to be had..

Soooooooooo, any opinions on the new logo and tagline?

My last grill was fueled with Natural gas. I had a big pipe run outside to feed the beast. I winder if there's any value in thinking about having a gas ignition of the charcoal on the egg?

Owning a BGE, I will attest to thier quality. There is a reletively new player in the ceramic market called Saffire. Looks very similar to the egg, but many of the metal parts are stainless. (includikng the daisy wheel on top)

A freind from comps (Logjammin BBQ) knows the owner of the company, which is located in or near Rockford, IL. and was given one to use. He loves it. They have a few unique features not offered on the BGE. My understanding is that they are a US made product as well.

The dealer where I bought my egg now carries these exclusively. In fact, when I was there looking for an extra set of the little creamic feet, to use between my plate setter and pizza stone, he just gave them to me, no charge, as he was quitting selling them.

I guess the new logo and tagline for BGE are ok...nothing really earth shaking about them

Congrats on the Egg. You won't regret it. Be sure to do a few low temp cooks before you try to sear, or you can fry the gasket and not be able to open your Egg. Don't ask me how I know..
Oh, build me a table, too, will ya

I watched the starter video. Very eggciting. I should have bought more accessories while I was there. The idea of baking pizza or bread is interesting

 

[ThomEmery]

cool beans

We just bought our BGE XL today as a secondary unit for competitions. We plan to run it this season and it will probably be the 'small' cooker when we arent on the road / competing. So far the plan is to do our butts and briskets on the BGE and the ribs and chicken on our Tucker Cooker. We LOVE the Tucker but it is just too hard to cook all the categories on one cooker effectively. So it just made sense to pick up a cooker that has a fair amount of cooking surface, holds temp for days AND has tons of followers that can answer questions from a new Egg Head lol.

I like the tagline. Makes sense and is more in tune to the market. Not crazy about the logo, though. They were going for something stylized, but it simply looks like a bad cartoon. Not stylized at all, really.
