Big Green Egg Medium Charcoal All-in-One Grill / Smoker

Pros: Great for BBQ'ing and smoking
Cons: ALL WRONG for grilling, plus it has a tiny grate and it's EXPENSIVE!

The Big Green Egg is a ceramic cooker that is green and shaped like, well, a big egg. The fact that it is made of thick ceramic means that it contains and retains heat very well. I've had mine for close to 10 years. The Big Green Egg is great as a smoker ...

Pros: Best Tasting Food Ever!
Cons: Ya Gotta be Willing to use Charcoal Lump

I've been using the Medium B-G-Egg for eighteen months. Steaks have never been so good -- Roasts of all kinds are amazing... and of course, it's great for lo-'n-slo. I have sustained lo-temp cooks of over 20 hours [large packer brisket] without adding ...

Pros: wow I forgot how great food tastes cooked on a real grill!
Cons: Now I have to cook weekdays as well. My wife loves the grill taste

I have had one for two years. I think that over the years we have forgotten what grilling out tastes like. We have been moved to charcoal then briquettes to now steel. The best restaurants grills with wood. It always tastes the best.
I use my egg 5 times a week. It has had no problems at all. It grills and smoke great. There is nothing better then a steak on this grill. We are spoiled and no longer get a steak out. We buy cowboy brand wood in a bag from Lowes for $5 its last for about 8 meals. You can shut down the grill when done and save the wood. I start my fire with a fire starter(not fire starter brand they don't work)it goes from zero to 700 degrees in 10 min. The cost of the the system is average but you wont be getting a new one for many many years to come so i more then pays for itself. I live in Fl and I have had 3 high end grills rot out. They lasted a year in spite of the 99 years warranty they came with!
