Big Green Egg: For Serious Charcoal Grilling

Big Green Egg Grill – If you’re strictly a burgers and dogs kind of griller, move along. Everyone else, meet the Big Green Egg. It’s eponymous shape makes it ideal for grilling foul, as the 18-inch model supports up to a 20-pound turkey. For smaller stuff, there’s a tactical advantage: The ceramic shell allows the Big Green Egg to reach temperatures of 600 degrees, but it can also keep a low heat of 200 degrees for smoking briskets and ribs. And because the shell manages heat so efficiently, the egg uses less charcoal than a more conventional grill. Who knows, maybe the savings will reimburse the $700 price tag over time. You’d have to do a lot of grilling, but why wouldn’t you? [via About]
