Leaving the Nest - Egg Table Construction Part 5

If you've been following along, you know that the table has taken shape mostly from materials that were already at hand. This includes some of the "finishing touches" that I talked about in a previous post.  The finishing touch that I'll talk about today is another of those that sprouted from things we had lying about.

If you're like me, you often find yourself cooking overnight.  Now I haven't invested in a Stoker or a Guru (yet), so I will typically check the cooker throughout the night.  This drives the need for illumination.  So we decided that this table should be wired for electricity.  This would allow us to mount a hardwired grill light and electrical outlets that will someday accomodate one of the aforementioned fire control devices, an electric knife, etc.

I ordered a permanently mountable grill light from the good folks at Amazon.  Zino had an all weather recepticle and the necessary wire, conduit, and the like.  So here's what we came up with.

Power cord for the table - just plug in an extension cord

All-weather electrical outlets

Illumination for overnight cooking
So as you can see, the table is done with the exception of installing the BGE.  We're ready to roll this bad boy outside and start using it.  I'll update the project one more time when we get the cooker installed and let you know how it turns out.

Cheers,
Braddog
