BARBECUE BIG GREEN EGG

The BIG GREEN EGG BARBECUE is a favourite of many star chefs and hundreds of thousands of gourmets: thanks to the ceramic walls, the temperature can be regulated very precisely.

The dome-shaped ceramic lid with chimney can be opened and closed easily thanks to the spring mechanism. The ceramic material has a double protective glaze. The insulating and heat-retaining properties of the material create an air flow inside the BIG GREEN EGG BARBECUE, so that the food is cooked evenly and tasty. The opening on the lid performs a dual task, regulating the air flow and controlling the temperature precisely. The ventilation opening at the base of the BIG GREEN EGG works in harmony with the upper one in regulating the flow of incoming air and also allows ash to be removed. Thanks to these sophisticated openings and ventilation areas, the air flow is kept constant. The thermometer indicates the internal temperature exactly and allows you to monitor the cooking progress without opening the barbecue.

Inside, the stainless steel grill is the main cooking surface used for grilling or roasting. The support circle positioned above the combustion area supports both the indirect cooking plate and the cooking grates. The grate inside the firebox has a perforated structure that allows air to rise upwards inside the BIG GREEN EGG BARBECUE and ash to remain in the lower part of the fire pit for easy removal after cooking.

Versatile, long-lasting and high-performance, that's why the BIG GREEN EGG BARBECUE is the favourite of many star chefs and hundreds of thousands of gourmets!

Additional information and history.

The BIG GREEN EGG BARBECUE is based on an ancient model of an Asian clay oven, dating back more than 3000 years, known as "kamado". In the last century, American officers stationed in Japan tried the exquisite dishes prepared in the characteristic clay pot and decided to take it with them to the United States to prepare the same delicious dishes at home.

Founded in 1974 in Atlanta, Georgia (USA), BIG GREEN EGG has given all Americans the opportunity to buy this jewel of Asian gastronomy. The company began its business by importing Japanese and Chinese "kamados". However, over time the company developed an improved model, using advanced ceramic processing technologies directly from NASA. The decision was later made to move production to Mexico, given the country's long tradition in ceramic manufacturing and the high quality of its production facilities. Before leaving the company, every BIG GREEN EGG BARBECUE undergoes a thorough quality control.

Hailed as the original American-designed ceramic stove, the BIG GREEN EGG BARBECUE is the most versatile outdoor cooking tool on the market, with more functionality than all other traditional combination tools. In addition to grilling, the BIG GREEN EGG BARBECUE is perfect for baking, smoking, and slow cooking.
