About the Egg
The Big Green Egg is a barbeque, a smoker, a traditional oven and a pizza oven fuelled by pure, 100% natural lump charcoal. With its easy-to-use design, high-spec ceramics and four different cooking modes, the Big Green Egg has been revolutionising the BBQ market since 1974. From pizza to paella, or steak to seafood, the EGG enables you to grill, roast, bake and smoke like a professional, all year round and in every type of weather.
Combining proprietary processes and patented technology, the Big Green Egg is stronger, more durable and better insulated than any other outdoor cooker in the market. That’s why Big Green Egg is the leader in outdoor cookers and is used by hundreds of award winning chefs all over the globe.
How does the Egg work
Unlike tradition gas grills that use gas and are made from metal, the Big Green Egg is fuelled by natural lump charcoal and made from shuttle-quality ceramic that retains heat and moisture better than any other cooking unit today. And with the EGG, cooking takes place with the lid down so that heat, moisture and flavour is preserved to perfection.
Temperature and smoke quantity in the Big Green Egg is controlled by a patented air flow system. The Draft Door and the Dual Function Metal Top act as vents that regulate the amount of air flowing in and out of the EGG. Put simply, the Draft Door determines the range of temperature (particularly the upper limit), where as the Dual Function Metal Top is used for achieving finer adjustments to within a degree.
