Know before you buy
The 15-inch cooking grid is perfectly sized for couples or small families. It comfortably fits four steaks or two whole chickens at once, making it ideal for everyday meals rather than large-scale entertaining.
The Medium EGG is highly versatile and excels at both low-and-slow smoking and high-heat searing. When paired with a convEGGtor, it functions like a convection oven, allowing you to bake pizzas, breads, or even roast vegetables.
Yes, it is designed to be used exclusively with natural lump charcoal. This fuel type provides superior temperature control and a cleaner burn compared to traditional charcoal briquettes.
At 114 pounds, the unit is substantial and durable. While it is freestanding, we recommend placing it on a stable, level surface, and if you choose a cart with casters, it can be repositioned as needed.
Not all accessories are universal. You must ensure you are purchasing items specifically sized for the 'Medium' model, such as the Medium convEGGtor or the 15-inch cooking grid, to ensure a proper fit.
