The Big Green Egg Smoker Vs Other Barbeque Grills

If you love to grill, you've probably heard of the Big Green Egg smoker and grill. It's a ceramic grill that can be used as a grill, smoker or even an outdoor oven. It's so versatile you can cook anyone from hamburgers and steaks and other original grill foods to desserts, breads and even pizza.

Eggheads swear by the Big Green Egg, but you might be wondering what makes the Egg (as it's fondly called) separate from other grills.

Probably the biggest discrepancy is the appearance. The Big Green Egg is well, green and shaped like a big egg. While I can't say why it's green, I can say that the egg shape was designed (on purpose) to supply the ability to control and assert the heat within the grill great than other grills.

The second biggest discrepancy is the material. Instead of being made with metal, the Egg has thick ceramic walls. Ceramic is much more durable than other materials, which means the Egg will last longer than other grills, it can be used year long (even in freezing temperatures). It's also safer, especially if there are children running around, because the ceramic material stays cooler than original metal grills and because you all the time cook with the lid down, so you don't have to worry about flare-ups.

There are many other differences but one of my favorites is the following this grill has. You can find Egg fans and gatherings throughout the United States, and Eggheads are eager to share their stories, tips and recipes at gatherings and on the Egghead forum. I can't think of any other grill that has this kind of following.

Now, the Egg does have some disadvantages when compared to other grills. For instance, it's not a cheap grill. You can expect to pay about 0 for a large Big Green Egg. Also, you have to use lump wood charcoal, which isn't all the time easy to find and can be quite a bit more high-priced than original charcoal briquettes. The Egg also has a smaller cooking outside than many gas grills, which means you'll need a backup grill if you're engaging a lot of people.

However, the versatility of the Big Green Egg, the ability to grill, smoke or bake with your Egg, and the awesome results you get (the Egg is very forgiving, even for novice grillers) are well worth the price tag.
