The Big Green Egg features two ceramic walls lined with heat-resistant materials like steel and alumina. This helps to create an airtight seal that keeps the heat in and prevents air from escaping as hot air rises up through the chamber walls, providing more efficient cooking and greater temperature control while baking or grilling foods of all types.

The Big Green Egg features several different dampers located throughout its body which allow you to effectively manage your airflow and fuel efficiency when cooking your favourite dishes on this versatile cooker – it truly provides unrivalled temperature control. The larger damper at the top of the lid allows for quick heat adjustments while also helping to evenly spread out the heat inside of the dome-shaped cooker whenever needed - making it great for roasting large cuts of meat.

If the size is a concern, you’re in luck! The Big Green Egg comes in 5 different sizes to suit all backyards. Here are the approximate heights and diameters of each size:

MiniMax: 49.5cm in height, 33 cm in diameter

You may be looking at the Big Green Egg and wondering, how does it light? Here are some simple steps to help you get the Big Green Egg all fueled up and ready to go!

1. Make sure the bottom vent and the top dome are fully open to allow air to flow through the grill.

2. Fill the fire bowl with natural lump charcoal to the desired level, being careful not to overfill.

3. Use lighter cubes, which are made from sawdust and wax, or crumpled newspaper to start the fire. Place them in the centre of the charcoal.

4. Light the lighter cube or newspaper with a long-handled lighter, and let it burn for a few minutes until the charcoal starts to catch fire.

5. Close the lid of the Big Green Egg, but leave the top vent fully open to allow air to circulate.

6. Once the temperature gauge on the lid reaches the desired temperature, adjust the top vent and the bottom vent to maintain the temperature.

7. Wait for the smoke to clear before placing the food on the grill.

Remember to always use caution when lighting and operating a charcoal grill, and never leave it unattended.

The Big Green Egg BBQ is a modern version of ancient clay cooking vessels used in China and Japan. U.S. servicemen discovered this cooker during World War II, and after the war, entrepreneur Ed Fisher imported them to the U.S. Ed opened his first store in Atlanta in 1974 and sold a simple clay cooker based on the same design. He later refined the composition of the Big Green Egg and opened his own factory to manufacture his products. Engineers used materials developed by NASA to improve the design, resulting in an eggcellent outdoor cooker that is now available in 50+ countries across the globe today.

Choosing the right size of the Big Green Egg BBQ depends on your cooking needs and the number of people you will be cooking for. Here are some factors to consider when determining which Big Green Egg BBQ is best for you:
