Ceramic Smokers: The Big Green Egg Grill Vs. Other Barbeque Grills
If you love to grill, you've probably seen the Big Green Egg grill. It is a ceramic bbq grill which can be used as a grill, smoker and even an outdoor oven. It's so versatile you can prepare all sorts of things from hamburgers and steaks and other classic bbq grill foods to desserts, breads as well as pizza.
Eggheads can't live without the Big Green Egg, but you might be asking yourself what makes the Egg (as it's fondly called) out-shine other barbecue grills.
Possibly the largest difference is the appearance. The Big Green Egg smoker is well, green and the same shape as a big egg. While I can't say precisely why it is green, I will point out that the egg shape was designed (on purpose) to offer the ability to regulate and retain heat in the grill much better than other grills.
The second largest difference is the material. Rather than being made using metal, the Big Green Egg features thick ceramic walls. Ceramic is substantially more durable as compared to other materials, meaning the Egg will last longer than other grills, it can be cooked on year long (even in unusually cold temps). It is also safer, particularly if there are young children running around, because the ceramic material is much cooler compared to regular metal grills and because you always cook with the lid down, so you never have to worry about flare-ups.
There are several other differences however among my favorite features is the number of fans the Big Green Egg has. You will discover Egg followers and gatherings throughout the U.S., and Eggheads are always excited to share their stories, helpful hints and recipes at gatherings as well as on the Egghead forum. I can't think of any other grill that has such a following.
I will admit, the Egg has a few disadvantages when compared to other bbq grills. For instance, it's not a cheap barbeque grill. You should expect to shell out approximately $700 for a large Big Green Egg. Additionally, you should use lump wood charcoal, which isn't always easy to find and can be quite a bit more costly in comparison with standard charcoal briquettes. The Big Green Egg also has a smaller grilling surface compared to many gas grills, meaning you will need a backup bbq grill when cooking for a number of people.
However, the flexibility of the Big Green Egg grill, the ability to grill, smoke or bake with your Egg, and the awesome results you will get (the Egg can be quite forgiving, even for amateur cooks) are well worth the purchase price. If you're a barbeque fanatic and you do a good deal of smoking in addition to barbecuing you'll really enjoy the quality and the results you get when using the Big Green Egg.
