How The Egg Works?

The Big Green Egg is a blend of the best of ancient wisdom, modern technology and proprietary processes, resulting in a far superior product that is stronger, more durable and provides better heat insulation than any other outdoor cooker on the market.

Simple to Start

The Big Green Egg reaches cooking temperature and is ready to use in just minutes. Big Green Egg brand natural lump charcoal is made in the USA from oak and hickory for superb performance and results. Lighting the charcoal is quick and easy, as the design of the Big Green Egg allows air flow to work like a fireplace. Use a natural charcoal starter or an electric starter; and never buy lighter fluid again!

Precise Temperature Control

You can grill, smoke and bake at exact temperatures by easily adjusting the patented air flow controls. You have total control over temperature at your fingertips, maintaining accuracy within a few degrees! The Made in USA precision temperature gauge provides accuracy to 750ºF / 400º C. Many indoor ovens cannot match the EGG's temperature control and accuracy!

Safer to Use

The Big Green Egg is extremely safe to use because the ceramic surface doesn't get as hot as a metal grill, and the heat source is protected within a ceramic fire box inside the base.

Easy Clean Up

The Big Green Egg features a stainless steel cooking grid and an elegant green exterior with a lifetime glaze that maintains its good looks and wipes clean easily without chemical cleaners. Inside, residual heat burns away any grease build-up – just like a self-cleaning oven.

Patented Technology

What makes The Big Green Egg by far the best cooking device of its kind are the patented components and state-of the-art ceramic technologies that provide improved insulation, thermal shock tolerance and material strength. The high-quality ceramics used in each and every EGG will not crack or deteriorate over time, and many EGGs are passed down to the next generation. The Big Green Egg comes with a Best-In-Class limited lifetime warranty.
