Description

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

The Big Green Egg Solid Acacia EGG Mates 17.5 by 11 inch for the XL EGG are a set of two sustainably harvested acacia hardwood side tables, crafted with mortise and tenon joints and finished to match the EGG handle and the Big Green Egg Acacia Table collection. They mount on the XL EGG Nest bracket positions and provide folding prep surfaces on both sides of the XL EGG, extending the usable work area of the XL cooking station without requiring a separate side table. The 17.5 by 11-inch dimensions are sized proportionally for the XL EGG’s Nest width and provide meaningful counter space for the demands of large-group cooking sessions.

Sustainably Harvested Acacia

The acacia wood used in the XL EGG Mates is sourced from sustainably managed acacia forests. Acacia’s natural oil content, hardness, and grain density make it resistant to moisture absorption, surface wear, and the checking and splitting that affect softer woods used in outdoor applications. The sustainably harvested designation reflects the manufacturer’s sourcing standards for a natural material used in a long-lived outdoor product. Each set of Mates exhibits the natural grain variation inherent in a solid hardwood material, which means that no two sets are exactly identical in surface pattern.

Mortise and Tenon Construction

The XL EGG Mates use the same mortise and tenon joint construction as all EGG Mates in the Big Green Egg lineup. This joint ensures that the Mates remain structurally sound through repeated folding cycles, seasonal humidity changes, and the elevated temperatures present adjacent to the XL EGG during cooking sessions. The mortise and tenon connection at the fold pivot resists the loosening that affects pin or fastener-based folding mechanisms in outdoor furniture over time.

Product Line Finish Matching

The XL EGG Mates are finished to match the Big Green Egg EGG handle and the Acacia Tables in the Big Green Egg product line. The UV-resistant oil finish maintains the acacia surface color and provides protection against the sun exposure that outdoor accessories receive during use and storage. Periodic reapplication of a food-safe wood oil extends the life of the surface finish and maintains the color match with other acacia components in the outdoor kitchen setup.

Side Surface Right Where You Need It

When cooking on the XL Big Green Egg, workspace matters. The EGG Mate attaches directly to the nest or IntEGGrated Nest+Handler handle, positioning the 17.5 x 11-inch acacia surface immediately beside the EGG. This placement is intentional: it keeps your tools, seasonings, and serving platters within reach without requiring you to step away from the grill during critical moments in the cook.

Acacia Hardwood Quality

Solid acacia is chosen for EGG Mates because of its combination of density, visual warmth, and outdoor durability. The tight grain structure resists moisture absorption better than softer woods, and the natural oils in the wood help protect it from the environmental exposure common in outdoor cooking settings. The smooth surface is easy to clean with a damp cloth after each use.

Seasonal Care

To keep the acacia surface in prime condition, apply a food-safe hardwood finishing oil before the first use and then once or twice per season depending on your climate. This prevents surface drying, maintains the color, and extends the life of the wood. When storing the EGG Mate during winter months or extended non-use periods, keep it in a sheltered location or under a protective cover. With this basic care routine, the EGG Mate continues to complement your XL Big Green Egg setup season after season.
