| The rebirth of the ancient oriental Kamado cooker. The
idea is 3000 years old but The Big Green Egg is NOW! The perfect smoker AND grill AND
barbecue. Meats, fish, veggies, pizza—all done to perfection. Our ceramics experts
have created what some call "The Ultimate Smoker"—a beautiful
and practical marriage of time proven cooking methods and modern technology.
EFFICIENT
The Heavy Duty Big Green Egg® is made of modern heat holding ceramics. The ceramic
walls are heavy and thick. This insulating quality cooks foods with an amazingly small
consumption of charcoal. A 20 LB bag of natural charcoal will usually provide four to six
months use, even if you cook out several times per week. When you are through cooking,
just close the lid and the top and bottom drafts to extinguish the fire. You can reuse
about 80% of the charcoal. This feature alone will pay for your Big Green Egg® in a short
time.
EASY TEMPERATURE CONTROL
By adjusting the dampers, you can attain a temperature accuracy within two degrees. You
have total control. You can do your grilling, barbecuing, smoking, and baking at exactly
the temperatures you need. The optional heat gauge will give precise readings of
temperature, from 50° to 750°. We have included a cookbook with recipes and easy
instructions. You'll get great results from the start.
THE WORLD'S BEST SMOKER
Smoking is done at lower temperatures—usually between 150° and 250°. Add some
moistened wood chips to the glowing charcoal for flavor. Your Egg® gives you control of
the degree of smoked flavor. You can have just a hint of smoke, or have your meats smoked
through to the bone. With the Big Green Egg® you can smoke foods exactly the way you like
them.
EASY TO START
Lighting is quick without starter fluid regardless of wind conditions. All you need are
a few sheets of newspaper. The air flow works like a fireplace. The Big Green Egg® will
be at operating temperature and ready to use in less than ten minutes. You can use an
electric lighter for even greater convenience.
A COMPLETE OUTDOOR COOKER
The BGE® is a smoker, a grill, and an oven. You can do an entire meal at once by
including your veggies—corn, potatoes, mushrooms, onions, etc. are superb! There are
even deserts you can enjoy from the Egg®. The cookbook has many more suggestions.
MOISTURE RETENTION
The Big Green Egg® ceramics hold heat and moisture extremely well. For this reason,
foods do not dry out, as in metal charcoal, gas, or electric grills. Natural juices and
flavors enhance the taste. The BGE® operates without the need for water or endless hours
of tending. Meats and other foods are juicier, with little or no shrinkage.
SAFER TO USE
The Big Green Egg® is safer to use because the ceramic surface stays cooler than a
metal cooker. This protection is most important around small children.
NATURAL FLAVORS
The ceramic Big Green Egg® gives a natural and wholesome flavor to all your
foods—with no metallic taste. When baking, you'll get a "brick-oven" flavor
and crust. Bake a bread or a pizza in your Big Green Egg® and see for yourself.
YEAR-AROUND USAGE
You can use The Big Green Egg® in all climates. Rain and snow cannot harm it. It is
suitable for all year use, even in freezing temperatures. The BGE® can be priceless in
emergencies.
EASY CLEAN UP
The exterior has a lifetime porcelain glaze bonded to the ceramic. This permanent
finish maintains its good looks and wipes clean easily. Inside, the heat will burn off any
grease and splatters much like a self-cleaning oven. The porcelain coated grill is easy to
clean. When your cookout is over you'll have less than a handful of ash to remove |
