Assembling the Big Green Egg Nest Table

Ahoy, grilling enthusiasts! Captain Ron here, ready to take you on an exciting journey to assemble your very own Big Green Egg Modular Nest Table. In this tutorial, we’ll cover everything from unboxing to setting up the table that will house your Big Green Egg. With just a few simple steps, you'll have a sturdy, reliable base for your Egg and be ready to start grilling like a pro.

Let’s dive right in and make sure your table is ready for all those tasty BBQ sessions!

Step 1: Unboxing the Big Green Egg Modular Nest Table

First things first, let's get everything out of the box. The Modular Nest Table is designed to be a simple yet sturdy platform for your Big Green Egg, and assembling it is easier than you might think. Here’s how to do it:

1. Cut the tape and open the box: Carefully cut open the packaging tape on the box with a utility knife. Be gentle while opening the box to avoid damaging any parts inside.
2. Inspect the parts: Lay everything out on a flat surface like your patio or garage floor. You should have the following:

• The main frame components (legs and crossbars)
• The Big Green Egg nest (this is the metal cradle that will hold the Egg)
• Hardware (screws, bolts, washers)
• Instruction manual (this will be your guide – keep it handy)

Step 2: Assembling the Table Frame

With everything unboxed, we’re ready to start assembling the frame that will support your Big Green Egg. Don’t worry, this step is simple and quick.

1. Align the frame pieces: Lay out the four legs and the crossbars. The frame is typically designed to be modular, so it’s easy to slot the pieces together.
2. Attach the crossbars to the legs: Using the screws and washers provided, attach the crossbars to the legs. Start by loosely screwing them in so you can adjust the alignment if needed. Once everything looks good, go ahead and tighten the screws fully.
3. Check for stability: After the frame is fully assembled, give it a little shake to ensure it’s stable. If everything is nice and tight, your table should feel solid.

Step 3: Mounting the Big Green Egg Nest

Now, let’s install the nest—the metal cradle that will securely hold your Big Green Egg in place. This is the part that gives your table its real function, so let’s do it right.

1. Position the nest supports: Take the nest supports and position them onto the frame. These supports will sit snugly within the frame to ensure that your Big Green Egg sits at the perfect height and is supported on all sides.
2. Attach the nest to the frame: Using the provided bolts and washers, attach the nest to the frame. Make sure it’s securely fastened. It’s a good idea to tighten the bolts fully to make sure the nest doesn’t shift once you place the Egg in it.
3. Test the nest’s stability: Gently wiggle the nest to ensure it is firmly attached. It should not move or wobble.

Step 4: Setting the Big Green Egg in the Nest

Now that the nest is securely in place, it’s time to add your Big Green Egg! This part is straightforward, but you'll want to be careful to avoid any mishaps.

1. Lift the Big Green Egg: With help from a friend (or a good strong grip), carefully lift your Big Green Egg and place it into the nest. Be sure the Egg sits snugly and securely in the cradle.
2. Ensure proper fit: The Big Green Egg should fit perfectly within the nest, with no wobbling or shifting. The nest will provide the necessary stability for your Egg to remain in place while you cook.

Step 5: Final Adjustments and Stability Check

You’ve almost finished assembling the table—just a few last steps to make sure everything is perfect!

1. Tighten all screws: Double-check that all the screws and bolts are tight. It’s a good idea to give everything one last check to ensure the frame and nest are securely fastened.
2. Check for level: If the table feels uneven, adjust the legs to make sure the entire setup is level. This is especially important for your Big Green Egg to ensure it sits evenly.
3. Clean up: Wipe down any dust or packaging debris. Your table should now be clean and ready for action.

Step 6: Fire It Up – Ready to Grill!

With everything assembled, you’re ready to fire up your Big Green Egg and get grilling! The Big Green Egg Modular Nest Table is a strong, stable platform that will allow you to cook with confidence, knowing your Egg is in good hands.
