Welcome to the Big Green Egg, the Original American Designed Ceramic Cooker. Derived from an ancient clay cooker called a "kamado," the modern Big Green Egg has undergone many improvements since it was introduced in 1974. Especially significant is replacement of the clay used in early models with durable space-age ceramics developed specifically for Big Green Egg to make the EGG® virtually indestructible under ordinary cooking conditions.

We have become the world's largest producer and international distributor of ceramic kamado-style cookers. You can be sure that your investment in the Big Green Egg is protected by a reliable company with more than 30 years of experience and an impeccable reputation for offering top quality products and excellent customer service. Look for the Big Green Egg logo molded into the lid and you'll be rewarded with a lifetime of easy, convenient cooking and superb eating!
