you are talking about a 2 space then not a single
a single space would be $30 double is about $60
a unit or space in IGT speak is 14x10 so a double is 14x20
and yes on 3/8 thickness
your idea could be a great option for the bamboo as long as it does not need support under it
while built in cutting boards sound cool and looks cool but in real world does not work IMHO a separate cutting board is the way to go whatever material you choose
if you use a separate board you can make it take up not only the 14 inches but the extra space for a 20 x20 inch if you wanted for a 2 space
also if it was full of raw red meat juices or chicken or whatever and you flip it for a clean surface then that stuff is dripping down and again getting into the IGT frame etc.. and all over the ground which for some might prefer not attracting critters that way ? small thing but something to think about also when you want to clean your board you loose your counter and now have a big hole till its back ?
even with bread and veggies and stuff once again the junk getting into the tracks can kinda become a pain and something else to clean up that can be avoided ?
weight for me is a key thing every bit ads up so again would rather have almost indestructible stainless inserts with a thin cutting board again any material you want AND I can move it and still have my table surface that withstands any heat in the IGT and not be limited in size and location of it in/on the IGT
again not knocking the material as a cutting surface
over 100s of meals I have cooked on the IGT built in cutting boards are not the best idea
IMHO
The Epicurean custom board in the IGT S size would be $56 and 3/8" is too thick for Richlite. I prefer 1/4" thickness for Richlite as it is very dense and gets too heavy when its thicker than 1/4".
My current Richlite boards for the Field Knife Set are 1/4" so I was just going to make a larger version that fits the IGT table.
Richlite boards can withstand up to 350F so they can be used as a coaster, unlike plastic boards.
I can't stand plastic cutting boards, flimsy ones in particular. Personal preference.
