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
- The Big Green Egg is Number 1!
More are sold each year than all other ceramic style cookers combined.
- There are more Big Green Egg dealers in the US and abroad than dealers for all other kamado syle cookers combined! If you move, it will be very convenient to locate a local dealer.
- It is estimated that seven out of ten kamado style cookers in use today are a Big Green Egg product.
