Amazing. Well done. There’s absolutely no part of this that I wouldn’t completely screw up. 😞

Just a quick question on your plans for the L & XL kitchen. I see that it's over 10ft how easily can I convert to a shorter table? I'm looking 8 1/2 to 9 ft. I know this will throw the cabinets off, thanks!!

So, if you watched the video, you can see there were essentially 3 cabinet boxes made, with the two eggs sandwiched between them. The easiest thing to do, is to reduce those cabinet widths. You could make the one in the middle 18" and then the other ones 12", which would shave off 18" I think? But... I would attack it that way... shave off X amount from each cabinet.

Great job. By now I assume you have discovered that the European hinges are installed using a Forstner bit, not a Forester bit (like you said in your first build five years ago).

man... I mess that up every time! oh well... as long as the job gets done I guess... lol

what a beauty! did you do anything to fix the soapstone in place? seems you just dropped it onto its wooden support frame? as for the plywood, won't it be a victim of humidity quite soon?

@Searedandsmoked

thanks man! it was a fun build and look great. the soapstone is set on a bed of silicone caulk. I had a professional granite installer do that. They level it up as needed and then carefully set it and seal it underneath on all sides to keep moisture out. I have used plywood just fine outside in the past and this one has been fine this year too. Iowa is pretty humid. Not gulf coast humid, but pretty hot and sticky in the summer. Only thing I have found needing adjustment due to humidity is the doors.

Love the look! Any concern with the wood lining the egg singeing (or heaven forbid, catching fire) when cooking at high heat?

I have not had any issues with this model or the previous ones I have built. there is a few inches between the actual wood and the egg, at the tightest points at the top. When I built one for a gas grill, I did line the interior with aluminum so it reflected the heat more, which you could always add

Do you have plans for this in a smaller version for just one grill?

I have other plan sets available on my website. They are all a little different. But there are a handful that are for one green egg. You can find them all here... searedandsmoked.com/grill-table-plans/

Planning on doing something similar with my mini and large kamado but I also want a spot for my Blackstone. I definitely like your doors on this table. Nice work for sure...

thanks michael! lots of options out there with all the grill and griddle combos available

I see you used "Plywood" on the bottom shelves unlike the 2x6 cedar planks on the plans for your single XL Kamado, any reason why and do you like the look of the plywood? I do!

I have gotten feedback on costs for some of these tables, so I tried to trim back the material cost where it made sense. I still prefer cedar. In the future, I will probably put doors on those openings of some sort. Just have not committed one way or the other.

how wet was that pressure treated wood you used for the base? that is going to shrink? have you run into any issues since? I am looking to build something similar on my patio. Thanks.

well, it was not as dry as I would have liked it to have been... but it has been fine. no issues with stability or anything. As long as the patio below is stable, I think you should be OK too.

How much room did you plan on above the countertop to accommodate the xl hinges/lid when open? 4-6 inches?

@Searedandsmoked

Жыл бұрын

from the top of the counter to the top of the shelf it sits on, you want 11" or less. That gives you just enough room to open the lid with the new style hinges. (you still need the XL egg "legs" with that)

Just starting to plan a project like this. Do the Eggs need to be recessed into counter cut outs or do they sit on the counter?

@Searedandsmoked

They sit on the counter... sort of... Best to have the Egg "feet" or egg table "nest" for the eggs to sit on as I have in this setup. The counter surface is normal... just flat peice of granite or something else not flammable if possible.

Where can I find the dimensions this was? .in Florida and would use hardie board for floor and backer for veneer.. first build here.
