Frequently asked questions

Do I include the chimney cap in the height?

Yes. The total height is measured to the very top of the metal chimney cap on the lid, with the lid closed.

Which guide should I use?

Choose the guide that matches your setup — the Egg on its own, on a nest with handler, on a nest with straight or angled Egg Mates, or built into a table. If you’re between options, send photos and we’ll confirm the right one.

Should I measure the metal bands and hinge?

Yes. For the widths, measure to the outermost points — including the metal bands, the rear hinge and any side handle — so the cover clears them.

Can I measure in inches?

Yes. Measure in centimetres, inches, or metres — you choose your preferred unit when you configure the cover. Keep the same unit throughout.
