Extra Large Big Green Egg
Big Green Egg grills are available in five sizes: XL, large, medium, small and mini. The Extra Large Big Green Egg boasts 452 square inches of cooking surface. To put that in perspective, this giant size EGG can accommodate two 20-pound turkeys, 11 whole chickens, 12 steaks or 24 burgers. And if it’s ribs that you’re craving, imagine barbecuing 14 racks of ribs all at once! If that’s more grill than you think you need, the large size has 255 square inches of cooking surface and can handle roughly half what the extra large Big Green Egg can.
If you only cook for a few, you might consider the small EGG. This model has 133 square inches of grilling surface and can handle one rack of ribs, one 12-pound turkey, one chicken, two steaks, or four burgers. And if it’s a portable grill you’re after that is great for picnics or tailgating, you’ll want to check out the mini EGG. The mini is perfect for a couple of chicken breasts, pork chops, or one good-sized steak.
The Extra Large Big Green Egg is definitely the way to go for the outdoor chef who frequently cooks for a crowd. But it might be overkill for someone who doesn’t do a lot of backyard entertaining. The beauty of the Big Green Egg lineup is that there is a perfect size for every need. And there are a ton of accessories to complement these versatile and durable cookers, making them a very wise choice for outdoor grills.
