Frequently Asked Questions
-
The Big Green Egg is the original kamado barbecue. By combining beautiful design, patented technology, and best-in-class ceramics and materials, a Big Green Egg cooking experience is second to none.
Unlike many high-end outdoor cookers, you cook with the lid down. By doing so, you lock in flavour, moisture, and heat — for a consistently delicious cook, and super-efficient fuel economy.
The Big Green Egg offers a huge range of barbecue accessories, meaning that you're not stuck with burgers and sausages. On your Big Green Egg, anything is possible with the 8 modes of cooking. Whether you want to cook simple steaks, authentic Italian pizza, low-and-slow smoked brisket, or go for something totally out there: like barbecue cheese souffles, classic tarte tartin, or unctuous sticky toffee puddings enriched with wood smoke.
-
Every Big Green Egg uses the same fundamental technology, and is made out of the same NASA-grade ceramics. That is to say: no matter which EGG you pick, you'll always produce amazing cooks and delicious, restaurant quality food.
But the differences between each EGG variety go beyond size! For a quick reference guide, click here.
MiniMax EGG
The MiniMax is the secret weapon. It's fast to light, extremely fuel efficient, and comes with its own carrier — yes, it's portable enough to stow in the boot and take on a mobile foodie adventure. Michelin chefs use the MiniMax in their kitchens as a side-oven; the supplement to their Large or Extra Large EGGs. It's the ideal outdoor oven for couples, campers, beach-goers, and tapas-style dining.
Large EGG
This is our classic, best-selling EGG and for good reason. This piece of kit is big enough to cook anything you can think of, it's got a huge range of compatible EGGcessories, and it's a great fit in most gardens. If you like to cook for 4-8 people regularly, this EGG is an extremely good place to start.
Extra Large EGG
If this is the EGG you're considering, you better bring your appetite. This EGG works exactly the same as the classic Large, but its cooking capacity is massive. If you like to cook for 10 at a time, or if you're running a busy food business, the XL is where it's at.
-
A Big Green Egg will last you a lifetime. Every EGG comes with a limited lifetime warranty against defects, and most accessories and components come with warranties of their own.
If you use your Big Green Egg regularly, you'll naturally experience some wear and tear over time. The good news is, unlike many of our competitors, we carry spare parts for everything you'd ever need to replace. Changing or upgrading parts is super easy, and can be done in a matter of minutes.
-
Your lifetime warranty covers the EGG’s ceramic components (Base, Dome, Firebox and Fire Ring). The ConvEGGtor carries a 3-year warranty. The metal components (rEGGulator, Stainless Steel Grid, Fire Grate, Bands and Draft Door) are covered by a 5-year warranty. Wooden products (tables and shelves), the Tel-Tru and the Gasket are covered by a 1-year warranty.
-
Well, firstly: Big Green Egg isn't really a barbecue. Not in the sense you're thinking. It's a charcoal oven. Unlike a barbecue, the EGG has the power to cook anything. Burgers and sausages, yes of course. But think bigger. Think roast chicken. Think pizza. Think apple pie, paella, entire suckling pigs.
Secondly, not only can the EGG cook these things (and anything else you can imagine) the flavour you'll get when you do is totally out of this world. That's down to a few things — the ceramics, the design, fire cooking, our charcoal — all of which are so important.
-
A lot of skilled work goes into the manufacture of a Big Green Egg — we only use the artisans we know and trust in our factory in Mexico, the home of ceramics. The ceramics we use are of NASA quality, which sets the EGG apart from all other cookers, and helps achieve incredible temperature control as well as higher temperature limits. We also see the price of an EGG as an investment: it will last you a lifetime.
