Great looking table…that is one thing you need when cooking with an Big Green Egg.

Great job on the table. You did a nice job on it. Thanks for posting.

God Bless

Looks great! How do you like the “egg” grill for grilling? Is it worth the purchase?

-- Bob Vila would be so proud of you!

Building it yourself saved a ton of money.

Those eggs can put out the juiciest meat I’ve ever had. I hope to get one someday.

Where did you find the plans? I’ve been contemplating the purchase of a BGE, and they would come in quite handy.

Thanks for compliments. As for the BGE I simply love it. I used to have a couple of grills and a dedicated smoker now all I have is my BGE. I’ve never had as much control over temperature as I do with the BGE. It might not hold as much food as my old barrel smoker but for ease of use and constant temperature the BGE is the way to go.

I found 2 set’s of plans for BGE tables. The set I used for this table were a bit difficult to understand at first but after reading through them a few times I think I came close to the initial design except I made mine bigger. Those plans can be found here …

After I was halfway finished with my table I found these plans I like better which I will follow if I ever build another table …

Very nice. I’ve seen this design in my searches for a used BGE.

Now I don’t know the answer to this …but is there any concern with using Pressure Treated lumber around food?

Hey Mike,

Just came across this post when doing a search for pics of others’ BGE tables via Google. Table looks awesome!

Question: do you recall the brand and color stain you used? I know you said “warm cherry” in the post, but I was wondering if you remembered exactly what you used. I ask because I still need to stain my table and yours is exactly the color I’m shooting for. Thanks.

I love the big green egg. I don’t own one but I’ve wanted one for years now. Great table!

Ryams27,

I used General Finishes Warm Cherry oil based stain. I used Waterlox Original as a top coat. In hindsight, I should have used a spar urethane oil mix for extra protection. The direct Florida sun and rainy summers have taken a toll. I plan on sanding down the top and reapplying stain and top coat here in the near future.

Good luck!

Love my BGE and table. I got my table for free, but it was in rough shape. I had to unbolt, add bracing, and then reassemble. It works great now and has provided many a BBQ since then. Number one thing to add to your to do list is create a bracket to hold a light at the grill. Without lots of lot it can be tough to be precise at night.

-- I got something on my mind grapes I need to talk to you about.

Nice. You did a good job.
