Know before you buy
The package comes with the Medium Big Green Egg, a convEGGtor for indirect cooking, a sturdy nest for elevation, 20lbs of lump charcoal, charcoal starters, an ash tool, and a grid gripper. It provides everything you need to start grilling, smoking, or baking right out of the box.
The Medium EGG is well-suited for families of four or small gatherings. It offers enough cooking surface to handle a whole chicken, a few steaks, or a medium-sized pizza comfortably.
The ceramic is highly durable and retains heat exceptionally well, but it should be handled with care to avoid impact damage. Regular cleaning of the ash and keeping the exterior covered when not in use will keep it in top condition for years.
Yes, the EGG is designed for versatility. By adjusting the airflow vents, you can easily maintain low temperatures for smoking ribs or crank the heat up for searing steaks and baking pizzas.
Not at all. The ceramic walls provide excellent insulation, and the dual-vent system allows for very precise temperature adjustments. Once you set the vents, the EGG holds its temperature steadily for hours.
Big Green Egg offers a limited lifetime warranty on the ceramic components of the grill. This covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal residential use.
