Big Green Egg Large

The Big Green Egg Large is the original ceramic kamado that sparked the American outdoor cooking revolution. For over 45 years, the Big Green Egg has maintained its position as the gold standard through exceptional build quality, unmatched versatility, and a passionate community of devoted users. The proprietary ceramic blend used in the Big Green Egg provides superior heat retention and insulation compared to metal grills and even competing kamados. This allows the Egg to maintain rock-solid temperatures for hours with minimal fuel consumption. During our testing, we consistently achieved 12+ hour smoking sessions on a single load of lump charcoal, with temperature fluctuations of less than 10 degrees once stabilized. The 256 square inch cooking area is perfectly sized for families and small gatherings. We regularly cooked for 6-8 people without feeling cramped. The cast iron cooking grate provides excellent heat retention and creates beautiful sear marks. The adjustable top and bottom vents offer precise temperature control—we found it easy to maintain steady smoking temperatures around 225°F or crank up the heat to 700°F+ for pizza and searing. What truly sets the Big Green Egg apart is its versatility. This isn't just a grill—it's a complete outdoor cooking system. We successfully grilled steaks, smoked brisket and ribs, roasted whole chickens and turkeys, baked pizzas and bread, and even made desserts. The extensive accessory ecosystem allows you to customize the Egg for specific cooking styles.
