How do I measure for a Custom Big Green Egg Cover (Table)?
This guide explains how to measure your Big Green Egg built into a table for a custom-fitted Kuvr® Big Green Egg Cover, including each required measurement, where to take it, and how to record it accurately. There are 10 measurements to take, labelled A to J.
Important
Provide exact measurements with no extra allowance added. Kuvr® adds a standard tolerance of +25 mm (1 in) to the width and depth for a comfortable fit; no allowance is added to the height. You can measure in centimetres, inches, or metres — you choose your preferred unit when you configure the cover.
Please include photos
Photos of your Big Green Egg built into a table, taken from a few angles alongside your measurements, help us understand the exact shape and get your cover right from the outset. Including a tape measure in shot for scale is ideal.

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.
