Big Green Egg Solid Acacia EGG Mates 17.5 x 11 Inch for Large EGG

The Big Green Egg Solid Acacia EGG Mates 17.5 by 11 inch for the Large EGG are a set of two solid acacia hardwood side tables crafted with mortise and tenon joints and finished to match the EGG handle and the Big Green Egg Acacia Table product line. At 17.5 by 11 inches per Mate, they provide meaningful prep and staging space flanking both sides of the Large EGG when mounted on the Large EGG Nest bracket positions. The mortise and tenon joint construction is the preferred woodworking joint for quality furniture, providing stability and longevity through repeated fold cycles and outdoor temperature and humidity variations.

Mortise and Tenon Joint Precision

The joints used to connect the acacia slats and frame components of the Large EGG Mates are cut to precise tolerances that prevent loosening or racking over time. A properly cut mortise and tenon joint creates a mechanical interlock between the tenon and the mortise socket that resists lateral, torsional, and tensile stress in all directions simultaneously. This is why mortise and tenon construction has been the standard for furniture and cabinet joinery for centuries: it produces connections that outlast the surface finishes and hardware of the pieces they join. For an outdoor accessory subject to the stress of repeated folding and unfolding in varied weather conditions, this joint standard translates to a product that maintains its structural integrity and flat surface over many years of use.

Matched Product Line Finish

The Large EGG Mates are finished to match the EGG handle and the Big Green Egg Acacia Tables, creating a consistent aesthetic across the cooking station when the Mates are used alongside a Large EGG in an Acacia Table or on a Large Nest adjacent to acacia table components. The finish includes a thin oil layer that provides UV protection, slowing the oxidation process that would otherwise cause the acacia surface to gray and fade over time with sun exposure.

17.5 x 11-Inch Dimensions

At 17.5 by 11 inches per Mate, the Large EGG Mates provide a prep surface appropriate for the Large EGG’s cooking context. A 17.5-inch Mate accommodates a standard cutting board plus additional space for seasoning jars and small tools. Two Mates deployed on both sides of the Large EGG create a combined 35-inch span of flanking prep space, which is sufficient for the organization needed during most cooking sessions for up to eight people.

Designed for Active Cooking Sessions

During a cook, the Large EGG demands attention and frequent tool use. The EGG Mate 17.5 x 11-inch surface gives you a dedicated spot to keep tongs, brushes, a meat thermometer, and a platter all within immediate reach. Rather than making trips back to a side table or setting tools on the ground, everything stays within arm’s length of the EGG. This keeps your focus on the cook and reduces the back-and-forth that interrupts the flow of managing temperatures, flipping proteins, and monitoring smoke.

Solid Acacia Hardwood

Acacia is a dense, tight-grained hardwood selected for its natural durability and attractive appearance. The solid acacia construction of this EGG Mate holds up to the demands of outdoor cooking including heat exposure, moisture, and regular handling without deteriorating. Periodic oiling with a food-safe hardwood oil keeps the surface looking rich and prevents drying or cracking over time. With straightforward seasonal maintenance, this EGG Mate remains a functional and attractive element of your Big Green Egg setup for years.
