Big Green Egg Caster Kit for Modular Nest System

Set of two 4-inch (10cm) swivel casters for Big Green Egg Modular Nest System, IntEGGrated Nest+Handler, standard nests, and Acacia wood tables. Matte black finish with polyurethane wheels. Kit includes 1 locking caster with brake and 1 non-locking caster. Wrench included for installation. On display at our Wetherill Park showroom.

The Big Green Egg Caster Kit transforms stationary Big Green Egg setups into mobile cooking stations. The kit consists of two 4-inch (10cm) swivel casters designed specifically for Big Green Egg's range of table and nest systems. Each kit includes one locking caster with a brake mechanism and one non-locking caster, allowing you to reposition your EGG setup easily while maintaining stability when locked.

The casters are engineered to fit Big Green Egg Modular Nest Systems, IntEGGrated Nest+Handler units, standard EGG Nests, and Acacia wood tables. The matte black finish integrates visually with Big Green Egg's design aesthetic. Low-profile components keep the overall height addition minimal while providing smooth rolling movement across patios, decks, and outdoor kitchen surfaces.

Each caster features a polyurethane wheel that rolls smoothly and resists wear from outdoor conditions. The locking caster includes a brake that secures the wheel in position, preventing movement during cooking. The non-locking caster provides unrestricted swivel and roll for easy maneuvering.

Installation hardware and a wrench are included with the kit. The casters attach to pre-drilled mounting points on compatible Big Green Egg tables and nests.

We stock the Big Green Egg Caster Kit at our Wetherill Park showroom alongside our complete range of Big Green Egg tables, nests, and modular system components.

Key Features

Dual Caster Configuration

Each kit includes two casters with different functions. The locking caster features a brake mechanism that prevents both wheel rotation and caster swivel when engaged. This provides stability during cooking by preventing the EGG from moving unexpectedly.

The non-locking caster allows free swivel and roll movement in all directions. This configuration (one locking, one non-locking) provides a balance between mobility and stability. Engage the brake on the locking caster when the EGG is positioned for cooking. Release the brake and both casters swivel freely for repositioning.

For complete stability using two caster kits (four casters total), engage the brakes on both locking casters to prevent all movement.

4-Inch Polyurethane Wheels

The casters use 4-inch (10cm) diameter polyurethane wheels. Polyurethane provides several advantages over hard plastic or rubber alternatives. The material rolls smoothly across concrete, wood decking, pavers, and tile surfaces commonly found in outdoor cooking areas.

Polyurethane resists cracking and degradation from exposure to sunlight, temperature variations, and moisture. The wheels maintain their rolling performance across repeated use without flattening or developing flat spots.

The 4-inch diameter provides adequate ground clearance for most outdoor surfaces while keeping the overall height addition minimal. Larger wheels would raise the EGG setup height unnecessarily, while smaller wheels would reduce rolling ease and ground clearance.

Matte Black Low-Profile Design

The casters feature matte black finish on all visible components, matching Big Green Egg's product design language. The low-profile design minimizes visual prominence, allowing the casters to blend into the overall setup rather than appearing as conspicuous add-ons.

The black finish coordinates with Big Green Egg's Modular Nest System frames, IntEGGrated Nest+Handler units, and nest components. This creates a cohesive appearance across the entire setup.

Wide Compatibility Across Big Green Egg Systems

The caster kit is compatible with multiple Big Green Egg table and nest configurations:

Modular Nest System: Attaches to Modular Nest frames, expansion cabinets, and modular components. The modular system uses standardized mounting points that accept the caster kit.

IntEGGrated Nest+Handler: Fits IntEGGrated Nest+Handler units, which combine the nest and handler functions in a single component.

Standard EGG Nests: Compatible with standard Big Green Egg nests for all EGG sizes (Mini, MiniMax, Small, Medium, Large, XL, 2XL).

Acacia Wood Tables: Mounts to Big Green Egg Acacia hardwood tables. The tables feature pre-drilled mounting points for caster installation.

This wide compatibility allows you to add mobility to virtually any Big Green Egg table or nest setup.

Installation Hardware and Wrench Included

The kit includes all necessary mounting hardware and a wrench for installation. The wrench is sized specifically for the caster mounting bolts, eliminating the need to source separate tools.

Casters mount to pre-drilled holes in Big Green Egg tables and nests. Position each caster at its mounting location, insert the mounting bolts through the table or nest frame and into the caster mounting plate, and tighten using the included wrench.

The inclusion of installation hardware and tools makes the caster kit a complete solution requiring no additional purchases.

How to Use

Installing Casters on Modular Nest or Table

Position your Big Green Egg table or nest upside down or on its side to access the bottom mounting points. Locate the pre-drilled holes where casters will mount. These holes are positioned at the corners or strategic points on the table or nest frame.

Place the first caster (locking or non-locking) at its mounting location. Align the caster mounting plate holes with the pre-drilled holes in the table or nest. Insert the mounting bolts through the frame and into the caster mounting plate.

Use the included wrench to tighten the mounting bolts. Ensure the caster is securely attached with no wobble or movement at the mounting point. Repeat this process for the second caster.

Position the locking caster and non-locking caster according to your preference. Some users prefer the locking caster at the front, others at the rear. Either configuration works effectively.

Repositioning Your EGG Setup

To move your EGG setup, ensure the brake on the locking caster is disengaged (unlocked position). Grasp the table or nest frame and tilt slightly to transfer weight onto the casters. Push or pull the setup in the desired direction.

Both casters swivel independently, allowing you to maneuver the EGG in any direction without needing to lift or tilt excessively. Roll the setup to its new position.

When repositioning is complete, engage the brake on the locking caster by pressing or flipping the brake mechanism (design varies by caster model). Verify the brake is engaged by attempting to move the setup. The locked caster should prevent movement.

Using Multiple Caster Kits

For larger tables or modular systems with four mounting points, use two caster kits (total of four casters). This provides two locking casters and two non-locking casters.

Position the two locking casters diagonally opposite each other (front left and rear right, or front right and rear left). This diagonal configuration provides stable braking when both locking casters are engaged.

Alternatively, position both locking casters on the same end (both front or both rear) if you prefer to pivot the setup around one end.

When using four casters, engage both locking caster brakes to prevent all movement during cooking.

Care and Maintenance

Inspect casters periodically for debris buildup between the wheel and the mounting bracket. Hair, dirt, or plant material can accumulate and interfere with wheel rotation. Remove debris by hand or with a brush.

Check the locking mechanism on the locking caster to ensure it engages and releases smoothly. If the brake becomes stiff or difficult to operate, clean the mechanism and apply a small amount of lubricant to moving parts.

Verify mounting bolts remain tight. The weight of the EGG setup and movement across surfaces can gradually loosen bolts. Retighten using the included wrench if bolts show any looseness.

Clean caster wheels and components with mild soap and water as needed. Polyurethane wheels resist most outdoor contaminants but benefit from occasional cleaning to remove accumulated dirt.

Store tables or nests with casters indoors or under cover during extended periods of non-use. While polyurethane resists outdoor conditions, prolonged exposure to extreme weather is best avoided.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many caster kits do I need for my table?

Most Big Green Egg tables and nests accommodate two or four casters. Each kit contains two casters (one locking, one non-locking). Purchase one kit if your table has two mounting points, or two kits if your table has four mounting points.

Will casters fit my existing Big Green Egg nest or table?

The caster kit fits Big Green Egg Modular Nest Systems, IntEGGrated Nest+Handler units, standard EGG Nests, and Acacia wood tables that have pre-drilled caster mounting holes. Verify your table or nest has mounting holes before purchasing.

How do I engage the brake on the locking caster?

The locking caster features a brake mechanism (typically a lever or pedal) that engages and disengages the brake. Press or flip the brake mechanism to the locked position to prevent wheel movement. Release to the unlocked position to allow free rolling.

Can I use casters on uneven surfaces?

Casters work best on level or near-level surfaces. Significant surface slope may cause the EGG to roll even with the locking caster engaged. If using on sloped surfaces, position the locking caster on the uphill side and verify the brake holds securely.

Do casters increase the height of my EGG setup?

Yes. Casters add approximately 4 inches (10cm) to the overall height of your table or nest. Factor this height increase when positioning your EGG in outdoor kitchens or under overhead structures.

Can I install casters on a table without pre-drilled holes?

The caster kit is designed for Big Green Egg tables and nests with pre-drilled mounting holes. Installing casters on tables without pre-drilled holes requires drilling mounting holes, which may void warranties or compromise structural integrity. Consult Big Green Egg or a qualified professional before modifying tables.

What surfaces work best with these casters?

The polyurethane wheels roll smoothly on concrete, pavers, tile, wood decking, and similar hard surfaces. Soft surfaces like grass or gravel reduce rolling efficiency and may damage the wheels over time.

Is the Caster Kit on display at your showroom?

Yes. The Caster kit is on display at our Wetherill Park showroom alongside our full range of Big Green Egg kamados, replacement parts, and accessories. We are open Monday to Friday 10am to 5pm and Saturday 9am to 2pm.
