Worth It
“I’ll never forget the first time I tasted food off a friend’s Egg at a Super Bowl party — absolutely delicious, and he didn’t even use seasoning. That’s when I knew the Big Green Egg was a different kind of cooking machine. One year later, I can honestly say it has transformed how I cook and gather with friends and family.”

“I don’t know how, but the food always tastes better on the Big Green Egg. It’s quick and easy to get started, and shutting it down to save charcoal is just as simple. From steaks to cedar plank salmon to slow-smoked barbecue, it truly does it all.”
- Tony
“Where the Big Green Egg XL truly stands out is in its ability to do it all. Thanks to its ceramic design, it can maintain steady low temperatures for over 18 hours for perfect smoking or climb above 700°F when you’re ready to sear.”
- Sean
