With the Table Nest, you literally place your Big Green Egg on a stand. It is specially designed to support the EGG and protect the table, kitchen island, or your custom-built outdoor kitchen from the heat released. Another advantage: with the Table Nest, you won't get any burn marks on the table. The Table Nest's metal stand ensures that hot air can flow freely under the EGG. Want to integrate the Table Nest into your worktop? That's certainly possible too. It's not suitable as a standalone stand, so place it on a solid (and non-flammable) surface. Spilled something? The table stand can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Table Nests are not suitable as freestanding stands, so place them on a solid (and non-flammable) surface.

The table stand can be cleaned with a damp cloth. DO NOT USE A TABLE NEST TO SUPPORT AN EGG UNLESS THE EGG IS HOUSED WITHIN A TABLE, ISLAND OR OTHER SURROUND. THE LOW-PROFILE TABLE NEST IS NOT DESIGNED OR INTENDED AS A FREE-STANDING SUPPORT for your EGG. Only the Mini and MiniMax have a low-profile Nest designed to be used as a free-standing base. THE EGG IS DESIGNED TO BE USED IN A METAL NEST OR WITH A METAL TABLE NEST, PROVIDING AN AIR GAP BELOW THE EGG - however you must exercise caution and not place an EGG directly over combustible material such as ground cover or an extremely dry wood surface even if using a Table Nest. FOR MAXIMUM HEAT PROTECTION, IT IS BEST THAT A GRANITE TILE AND A METAL TABLE NEST BE USED IN COMBINATION, particularly if EGG is routinely used for long cooks or high temperature cooking and is placed over a wood surface. PERIODICALLY CHECK THE AREA DIRECTLY BELOW THE EGG to ensure that over time there is no deterioration on the surface under the EGG due to heat transfer.
