Description

XL EGG Frame with Stainless Grid Insert for Modular Nest System

The XL EGG Frame with Stainless Grid Insert is the foundation unit for a Modular Nest outdoor kitchen built around the XL Big Green Egg. The frame is constructed from powder-coated aluminum and steel and includes a stainless steel grid shelf insert on the lower level, tool hooks on the sides, and four adjustable leveling feet. As the starting point of the Big Green Egg Modular Nest System for the XL EGG, the EGG Frame is designed to accept Expansion Frames on either side and to integrate with the full range of Modular Nest inserts, caster kits, and accessories.

Materials and Construction

The XL EGG Frame uses powder-coated aluminum for its upper frame sections and legs, providing corrosion resistance and a clean, contemporary appearance. The lower shelf frame and cross beams are constructed from steel, which provides additional rigidity at the base where the weight of the 219-pound XL EGG and stored accessories creates the most structural demand. The powder-coat finish on both the aluminum and steel components protects against weathering, UV exposure, and the thermal cycling that comes with proximity to the EGG during high-temperature cooking sessions. The finish integrates with the overall Big Green Egg product line aesthetic.

Dimensions

The XL EGG Frame measures 76 centimeters wide by 77 centimeters high (approximately 30 by 30 inches). The module width is standardized across the Modular Nest System, meaning the XL EGG Frame shares the same connector dimensions and insert sizes as the Large and Medium EGG Frames and all compatible Expansion Frames. This standardization is what enables multi-module outdoor kitchen configurations to be built with consistent proportions and seamless connections between sections.

Stainless Steel Grid Insert

The stainless steel grid insert included with the XL EGG Frame fits into the lower shelf frame of the unit. It provides a ventilated storage platform below the EGG for charcoal, accessories, or cooking equipment. The 304-grade stainless steel grid insert is corrosion-resistant and interchangeable with acacia wood inserts and solid stainless inserts from the Modular Nest System, so the lower shelf surface can be changed at any time without tools or modification to the frame.

Tool Hooks

Tool hooks are mounted on the sides of the XL EGG Frame and provide hanging points for Grid Grippers, Ash Tools, tongs, and other accessories. Keeping tools on the frame eliminates the need for a separate tool storage solution and ensures that the most-used accessories are always within reach during cooking. The hooks are integrated into the frame structure and are stable under daily use.

Adjustable Feet and Caster Option

Four adjustable leveling feet allow the XL EGG Frame to be set level on any flat outdoor surface, compensating for minor irregularities in patio, deck, or concrete surfaces. The 219-pound XL EGG requires a properly leveled and stable base, and the adjustable feet provide that stability. For owners who want to move the XL EGG Frame between positions on a patio, the feet positions are compatible with the Big Green Egg 4-inch Caster Kit, which replaces the leveling feet with locking casters.

Expandability with the Modular Nest System

The XL EGG Frame connects to Expansion Frames on either side using the Modular Nest connector system. Each Expansion Frame adds a full module of counter space, lower shelf storage, and insert positions to the outdoor kitchen station. Inserts in acacia wood, stainless steel grid, and solid stainless steel are available to fill any module position in any combination. The kitchen can start with the XL EGG Frame alone and expand section by section as space and needs grow, without replacing any component of the original setup.
