Pizza turned out great. Screen was closed and wind must have pulled out a spark, whole table went up in flames. Luckily I caught it before any real damage was done.

“…Before any real damage was done.” – Is that a joke?

I had a table like this at my old house. I swapped back to the nest at my new house. Not worth the risk

I doubt it was a spark or errant ember. The egg CAN get hot enough on the outside to ignite wood if the ceramic is touching it. It happened to me as well.

Was scrolling the pizzas thinking hey, they look pretty good, a bit dramatic to call them a disaster! Then I got to the end.

Wood has no place near fire.

I’m assuming no real damage means the house didn’t get damaged.
I’m guessing it wasn’t an ember making it through a closed vent screen that caused the fire. More likely the outside of the egg was touching the table (or was so close to the wood) that the radiant heat of the egg ignited the table wood.

Was the egg sitting directly on the wooden table? No air gap?

Looking at the second pic, I thought the wind blew oak leaves on the pizza. They look tasty

How the hell did you get the Egg out, while an inferno was happening?! I had a rolling wooden cabinet for my MiniMax but quickly went back to a rolling nest. I’ve learned, for me at least, that Eggs in nests with rolling stainless tables for counter space is the perfect setup. Five Eggs, five nests and a few stainless carts. Nothing at all built in and the only wood that gets near my eggs is smoke wood and previously burned wood, aka lump. Glad you, your family, your house and your Egg survived! Pizzas look fantastic!!

Okay I’m sorry for the stress and loss of property, but how was that ‘Zza?
