HAHA. Felt like cheating until we had to lift in in place. Now that its in place its WAY too high. The stone masons substituted an almost 5 inch thick piece of stone as the base instead of a 1/2 inch steel plate as spec'd. We are going to have to lower it to make it comfortable to grill. So now we have to lift it out. The red strap is KEY to moving this, as there are NO side handles. Will post pics in its final resting place

Thanks dennis. Great tip. Ive always owned a BGE and am glad to have this 22 TT. Its so well built.

OK we are droppinmg the height 10 inches. We are both short. We will lose the double doors below, but I found a stainless drawer that will work. Its easy to make this change now. I dont think we will be happy grilling at face level.... thanks for the input, pics to folllow

thanks for the input. The space below the grill was going to be a double door storage. If we drop the grill we will have to go with a shallower cabinet. My wife probably will NEVER use the grill. The top of the opening is about 3 inches below my elbow., the top grate position looks about 1 inch above the elbow. A bit high, but I may live with it, if we can keep the storage. Im going to sleep on it. I worry about reaching in, edit: I just measured. The opening of the bottom of the grill is about 48 inches high. I think JUST too tall.

We got our 22 TT moved in tonight. Im a bit worried about the ultimate height of the grill. Originally, the builder was going to sit on on stainless plates, but they used 4.5 inch thick stone. This raised it 4 inched higher than I originally planned. The opening is about 4inches higher than elbow level. My wife is 5 feet tall, and she really feels like its way too high, Here are some pics. What height is your table top grill, or grill? Do you wish it were taller or shorter?

Yes we had a choice of bobcat, Dingo (mini yard excavator/digger/etc) , or excavator. They are still doing MAJOR work in the yard due to all the rain. We got the forks on the dingo , carried it to the pavers around the pool. The side of the house was too steep a slope and too muddy (its where all the machines enter and exit). Then we used an old school Uhaul appliance dolly, being careful to to tilt too much. Got it to the cabana, uncrated it, and removed the top (VERY VERY EASY, Much easier than a green egg). 3 men, with 2x4's, lifed it in place, then I assembled the top. Im going to try and cook this weekend, then wrap it up in blankets to protect it. Its taller than I planned, and we are thinking about removing it and lowering it 5 inches. I started another thread

That’s great. I actually just found the thread with pictures on how to remove the top. We have a machine with a forklift on it that can carry it pretty much up to the space. Or than going to use two by fours and muscle. I’ll post some pictures.

How do I remove the top?

The stonemasons are still working on the fireplace. We then have carpenters that are going to finish the ceiling with Cypress. They’ll be large flag stone slabs on top of where the refrigerator is in around the smoker. We have to get it in place for them to finish some of the stonework. I was going to wrap it in U-Haul moving blankets

I got a 22 TT in metallic bronze and its beautiful. Rain has delayed our project seriously! We have a dingo or skid steer with forks. Will bring the pallet as close a possible. We have to then get it moved from the pallet into the resting place, about 12 inches down, inside this stone enclosure Planning on using the red straps and some 2x4s. can 4 guys move this thing? do i need a crane? NErvous about how heavy it is. Yes this project is a MESS! Stone masons chipping stone make a ton of debris. Im ready for the rain to stop

Ok Thanks for all the reply’s-sorry so delinquent in my response I got excited I ordered it and wanted to start planning on using it. Rain in Atlanta has delayed our cabana project severely- i got got the metallic bronze and it’s beautiful. I his think is built like a tank. I’m worried about moving it in place. It’s going into a slightly sunken cabana . Thanks for all the ideas/ I’m going to order a shop vac, because we also have an outdoor fireplace that will need cleaning out! I’m going to post a different thread to ask about moving this beast!

I just ordered the 22 table top. Thanks for the conversation Dennis. There is not a lot online about this model. How do you cleanout the charcoal byproducts. Does the front door/air control panel come off? Can someone post some pics
