Large Big Green Egg

ConvEGGtor-equipped version

The description below covers the earlier ConvEGGtor-equipped configuration. The new Dual Zone configuration has different included cooking surfaces, as explained above.

An adaptable ceramic charcoal cooker for family meals and weekends outdoors. The Large Big Green Egg includes a ConvEGGtor, giving you a starting point for both direct grilling and indirect cooking.

One EGG, plenty of ways to cook

The Large Big Green Egg is a ceramic charcoal cooker for grilling, roasting, smoking and baking. With a ConvEGGtor included for indirect cooking, it gives you room to explore more than the familiar barbecue menu: think grilled fish for supper, a weekend roast or pizza cooked outdoors.

It is a good starting point for households regularly cooking for four to six. The best size also depends on what you cook. Individual portions spread across a grid take up space differently from a roasting joint, and pans or racks affect the arrangement. If you regularly entertain larger groups, compare the Large and XL before choosing.

Grill directly or cook with indirect heat

For direct grilling, food cooks on a suitable surface above the charcoal. Use that arrangement for dishes such as steaks, vegetables and fish, following the setup for your chosen recipe.

The ConvEGGtor creates a barrier between the food and the direct heat of the fire. This opens up roasting, baking and longer cooks. It is different from a baking stone: the ConvEGGtor changes the heat arrangement, while a stone provides a surface beneath the food. A Large-compatible baking stone is an optional addition for pizza and bread.

Ceramic construction and control

The ceramic body retains heat, while the airflow controls let you manage the charcoal fire. The dome thermometer helps you monitor the cooking environment; use a suitable food thermometer when checking the internal temperature of ingredients.

Learning the airflow settings and allowing the cooking setup to heat through are part of getting familiar with your EGG. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for lighting, operation and shutdown. Different recipes and accessories call for different arrangements, so there is no single temperature setting for every cook.

What is included?

This listing includes the Large Big Green Egg and ConvEGGtor. A stand or table, cover, fuel and additional cooking accessories are separate purchases. Compare the itemised contents of a bundle if you would prefer to choose a package.

Choose equipment for the Large model and check what is supplied before adding extras. A product photograph can show how a cooker looks without showing every included component; the written contents should guide your comparison.

Choose a base that suits your space

Decide where the EGG will sit before selecting its support. A compatible nest, table or modular arrangement gives you different options for organising your cooking area. Check the complete configuration for the Large model, including any supporting components required by the manufacturer.

Choose a cover for the whole setup: an EGG in a nest may need a different cover from one in a table. Consider access to the cooking area and suitable help for positioning this substantial ceramic cooker. Contact The Stove Yard to discuss the delivery and assembly options available for your address.

Add accessories around the food you enjoy

Start with the dishes you cook most often. A baking stone and peel suit pizza making; compatible racks and pans offer more ways to roast; and a food thermometer helps with checking doneness. Choose accessories specifically compatible with the Large EGG.

You can add to the setup as your cooking develops. Browse our cooking surfaces, pizza accessories, tools and utensils to find equipment for a particular recipe or technique, and check what is already included before adding extras.

Care and ownership

Follow the supplied care instructions for the EGG and each accessory. Ceramic components, cast iron surfaces and electrical accessories require different treatment. Check the condition of wearing parts as part of routine care, and identify your EGG size before ordering replacements.

Big Green Egg’s Limited Lifetime Warranty is subject to its current eligibility, coverage and exclusions. Keep your proof of purchase and read the manufacturer’s warranty terms; cover varies between components.
