Big Green Egg XL Table Plans

This step by step woodworking project is about big green egg xl table plans. I have designed this wood table so it can accommodate a xl big green egg. The table has a sturdy frame and it features caster wheels, so you can move it easily on your backyard patio. The best part about of this design s that you can adjust the size of the hole in the tabletop to suit your big green egg. See my other DIY projects HERE.

We recommend you to invest in the best materials you could afford. Therefore, you should buy weather-resistant lumber, such as pine or cedar. Always take accurate measurements before adjusting the size of the components at the proper size. Drill pilot holes trough the components before inserting the wood screws, to prevent the wood from splitting. See all my Premium Plans in the Shop.

The first step of the project is to build the sides for the big green egg table. Cut the components from 2×4 lumber and lock everything together with 2 1/2″ screws. Add glue to the joints and align everything with attention.
