Big Green Egg Grills & Smokers

The Big Green Egg Large is the most popular size of the iconic ceramic kamado cooker, capable of grilling, smoking, roasting, and baking. Big Green Egg is the brand that brought kamado cooking to the American mainstream.

The Big Green Egg XLarge is the crowd-size version of the iconic ceramic kamado, with a 24-inch grate that swallows two packer briskets or four whole chickens side by side. Same thick ceramic and lifetime warranty as the Large - nearly double the cooking area.

The Big Green Egg MiniMax packs the full ceramic kamado experience into a 19.5-inch-tall tabletop cooker that ships with its own carrier. It's the Egg for balconies, tailgates, and campsites - same 750°F ceiling, a quarter of the footprint.

The largest Egg, with a 29-inch grid and 672 sq in of cooking area against the XLarge's 452. At 375 lbs of ceramic it is a fixed installation, not a grill that gets moved, and Big Green Egg positions it for restaurants and competition teams rather than backyards. Everything else — the ceramic body, the 200-750°F range, the lifetime warranty — matches the rest of the line.

The Medium sits between the Small and the Large with a 15-inch grid and 177 sq in of cooking area. Big Green Egg rates it for an 18 lb turkey, six burgers or four steaks — enough for a couple or a small family, in a body 48 lbs lighter than the Large. It is the smallest Egg that still takes the full-size ceramic accessories most owners eventually want.

A 13-inch grid and 133 sq in in a tall, narrow 80 lb body. It shares its cooking area with the MiniMax but not its shape: the Small is a conventional standing Egg meant to live on a nest or in a table, where the MiniMax is a squat carry-handle model built to travel. At $699.99 it is the cheapest full-shape Egg.
