Big Green Egg EGG

The XLarge EGG uses thick-walled ceramic construction that acts as a thermal insulator, allowing it to hold heat far more efficiently than metal grills. This design enables precise temperature control for everything from quick searing to long, low-and-slow smoking sessions.

Yes, with 452 square inches of cooking space, this model is designed for larger gatherings. It can easily accommodate multiple racks of ribs, a large turkey, or several whole chickens at once.

This package includes the ceramic grill body, the stainless steel cooking grate, and the nest and handler system for stability and mobility. You will still need to purchase charcoal, fire starters, and any specific cooking accessories like heat deflectors or pizza stones separately.

The included nest and handler system provides a sturdy base with wheels, making it relatively easy to reposition the grill on a flat patio or deck. However, because of the heavy ceramic construction, it is best to move it carefully and avoid uneven surfaces.

Absolutely. Because the ceramic walls retain heat so effectively, the EGG functions much like a high-end convection oven. With the right setup, you can bake bread, roast vegetables, or even cook pizzas at high temperatures.

Temperature is controlled by adjusting the airflow through the top and bottom vents. By manipulating these vents, you can dial in precise temperatures and maintain them for hours without needing to constantly add more charcoal.
