Better than Water Smokers
A water smoker is made of metal and requires a pan of water to keep foods from drying out. Water smokers are very slow, taking up to 12 hours to smoke a turkey or ham. It is difficult to maintain temperatures, on a cold or blustery day they become inefficient. The Big Green Egg®:
Cooks your ham or turkey to perfection in just a few hours
Minimizes drying heat loss; your foods retain their moisture
Dispenses with the need for messy water pans and frequent refilling
Makes cleanup a breeze; there is no greasy mess
Uses very little charcoal and produces very little ash
Better than Gas Grills
The Big Green Egg offers the best of both charcoal and gas grilling options – fast start time and charcoal flavor. The Big Green Egg:
Fires up in 10 minutes
Cooks juicier, more succulent foods
Allows you to grill meats rare, medium, well done, or anything in between
Cooking time is faster than on a gas grill
Reaches a hotter searing temperature than ordinary gas grills
Better than Kettle Grills
Kettle grills rarely cook evenly and they tend to have hot spots. The Big Green Egg:
Retains, circulates and radiates heat evenly for perfectly cooked meals
The EGG® holds the heat – the kettle loses heat, especially in cold or windy weather
The Big Green Egg keeps food moist – the kettle dries food out
