Big Green Egg Grills
What makes Big Green Egg Grills remarkable is their versatility for virtually any kind of cooking. The ceramic shell retains heat for even cooking, the excellent ventilation gives you precise heat control, they make great smokers, and you can shut them down to extinguish the remaining charcoal.
The EGG’s upper vent cap is constructed of cast iron while the lower vent is stainless steel. The heavy ceramic shell holds in the heat and eliminates troublesome temperature fluctuations. The glazed interior makes cleanup a breeze. I challenge you to find a conventional grill with all of these features!
Big Green Egg Grills are legendary among backyard chefs. They are able to withstand temperatures in excess of 600 degrees, and cook efficiently at temperatures as low as 200 degrees. They are perfect for a wide variety of cooking needs from smoking meat and fish to searing steaks. Because the ceramic shell is strong and holds up to a wide range of temperatures, you never have to worry about damage from cracking. One of the things that makes this grill so popular is that all of the heat is retained inside. Even at extremely high temps, the outside remains relatively cool. Because of the extremely efficient design, you’ll soon discover that you don’t use nearly as much charcoal as you would with a conventional grill. When you are finished cooking, just close the vents to snuff out the remaining coals. You can then use what charcoal remains for your next cookout.
Vents on the top and bottom of the grill control the cooking temperature. The vents are simple to use and provide much greater control than can be achieved with conventional grills. The name may sound funny, but there is no mistaking that Big Green Egg Grills take outdoor cooking to a whole new level!
