Big Green Egg
Big Green Egg Large
The ultimate kamado grill — ceramic insulation holds heat for hours and produces the best smoked and grilled food possible.
Our Review
The Big Green Egg is the kamado grill that started a cult following. Its thick ceramic shell retains heat incredibly efficiently, maintaining temperature for 12+ hours on a single load of charcoal. It grills, smokes, roasts, bakes, and even makes pizza — all with superior heat retention and moisture that produces the juiciest results of any grill type. The Large size handles a 20 lb turkey or 12 burgers. It's an investment, but owners universally say it's the last grill they'll ever buy.
