Know before you buy
This grill is highly versatile and capable of grilling, smoking, roasting, and baking. Its temperature range of 200°F to 750°F allows you to handle everything from low-and-slow brisket to high-heat searing.
The 18.25-inch cooking surface provides 262 square inches of space. In practical terms, this is enough to accommodate a 20-pound turkey, 12 burgers, or 8 steaks simultaneously.
The ceramic body is incredibly durable and designed to withstand high heat while retaining moisture. While it is sturdy, it is heavy at 162 pounds, so you should place it on a stable, heat-resistant surface or a dedicated Big Green Egg nest.
The EGG is designed for precise temperature control through its airflow management system. Once you dial in the vents, the ceramic material excels at holding a steady temperature for extended periods, making it ideal for long smoking sessions.
The cast iron grate is designed for durability and heat retention. You can clean it by burning off residue at a high temperature after cooking and brushing it down, similar to maintaining a cast iron skillet.
Yes, the EGG features a hinge system designed for easy, one-handed operation. Despite the weight of the ceramic lid, the mechanism is balanced to ensure smooth opening and closing.
