Big Green Egg: Everything First-Time Owners Should Know

By Carrie Gregory

Big Green Egg grills are built to last a lifetime of memories. Let’s explore the Big Green Egg.

What is a Big Green Egg?

The Big Green Egg is a ceramic oven crafted to use natural charcoal and live fire, allowing you to cook just about anything. Its unique design locks in moisture through the closed-lid cooking, enhancing the flavor of anything you prepare. The BGE is more than a grill, it’s a smoker, oven, pizza cooker, and gathering place for you and your family, all in one.

Made from high-quality ceramics sourced from trusted artisans in Mexico, the Big Green Egg features high-quality materials that provide exceptional temperature control for low and slow smoking or intense high temperature searing.

“Smoke, Grill, Roast, and Bake”

What makes Big Green Egg grills so special?

Shaped like ancient kamado cookers, the Big Green Egg ensures optimal airflow and precise temperature control. With patented technology that’s hard to replicate, it embraces the timeless tradition of live fire cooking. This method honors one of humanity’s oldest culinary practices and is the most organic, eco-friendly way to prepare food. The design of the egg allow you to:

• Grill steaks at high temperatures
• Smoke a brisket low and slow
• Bake pizza, breads, desserts and more
• Roast meats and vegetables
• Cook year round

“Each Egg is its own unique piece.”

What Size Egg is Right for Me?

The Big Green Egg is versatile and comes in a variety of sizes, from MiniMax to 2XL.

Grilling on The Big Green Egg

1. The Big Green Egg is designed specifically for natural lump charcoal and live fire. Lump charcoal burns hotter and creates less ash than briquettes.
2. Temperature control is very important to learn on the Big Green Egg. Small vent adjustments make a big difference.
   1. The Bottom Vent – controls airflow entering the Egg.
   2. The Top Vent – controls airflow exiting the Egg.
3. Ceramic cookers hold heat very well, so temperatures change gradually. Remember to make small adjustments and wait 10-15 minutes between changes to allow the Egg to stabilize before cooking.
4. There are over 50 configurations available to you, including the convEggtor for indirect cooking and smoking, pizza stones, roasting trays and more.

First Cook Ideas for Beginners

Before you tackle a low and slow brisket, start with a beginner-friendly recipe. We have included one for chicken wings that is perfect for a beginner.
