The original kamado design, over 3,000 years old, is believed to have its roots in China, but the Japanese also adopted it, calling it a "kamado," a generic term that can mean "stove," "oven," or even "fireplace." After World War II, thousands of Americans in Japan "discovered" the unusual clay oven and brought it home to the United States, where at the time, most Americans used metal grills for outdoor cooking. Big Green Egg ovens began production in 1974, and they quickly earned a reputation as the world's finest smoker and griller. Since then, the company has become the world's largest manufacturer and international distributor of kamado-style ceramic ovens. The Big Green Egg occupies a unique position among thousands of other gas, electric, and charcoal grills. Its ceramic oven design is unmistakable, and its unique cooking properties leave all competitors far behind.
What is Big Green Egg?
Big Green Egg was founded in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1974. It began as a retail store importing both Japanese and Chinese kamado ovens, which shared a similar design and were made from a material that had been used for centuries in the East. The kamado ovens cooked beautifully, but they broke down with prolonged use and eventually failed. Temperature control was inaccurate, and the oven's painted exterior gradually faded. Customers were satisfied with the cooking quality of the kamado ovens and made suggestions for improvement. The company listened, and every component of the oven—both internally and externally—was modified and improved. These innovative ideas are still used today in the production of components and accessories.
Innovative technologies of Big Green Egg.
Technologically advanced materials developed for the US space program enabled the production of new stoves with capabilities previously unimaginable. Space missions, which require uncompromising strength and reliability, required the highest quality ceramics, and the company's engineers discovered that these materials, specifically designed for space, were ideal. This discovery laid the foundation for the production of today's unrivaled Big Green Egg stoves. The strength and durability of this proprietary ceramic, its high-temperature testing, and its advanced thermal insulation system are unmatched by either natural clay or conventional ceramics. The Big Green Egg ceramic stove can be heated and cooled over 100,000 times without losing its properties. Big Green Egg ceramic is so unique that Big Green Egg has patented it and offers its stoves with a lifetime warranty against damage under normal use. Since the development of the ceramic stove, many other significant improvements have been made to the original design. The company developed thick metal straps to connect the stove components, as well as stainless steel fasteners. A sturdy spring-loaded hinge and a ventilation door with stainless steel holes were added for additional safety. The company's designers also developed shock-absorbing pads, a heavy porcelain-coated grate, and a beautiful non-toxic green glaze for the stove's ceramic surface.
What are the other unique benefits of the EGG oven?
A full-fledged oven for outdoor cooking.
The Big Green Egg offers unrivaled cooking versatility...you can use the oven to cook anything you desire, from a grilled steak to a tender brisket to a freshly baked loaf of bread. Vegetables include corn, potatoes, mushrooms, onions, and pumpkin. Even desserts are delicious! You can prepare a complete meal right away!
Smoking, Grilling, Baking
The Big Green Egg is unrivaled when it comes to smoking and grilling. Whether you're searing steaks at high temperatures, slow-cooking, or even baking, the EGG can do it all—with stunning results.
Quick start
The Big Green Egg reaches the desired temperature and is ready to cook in minutes. The lump charcoal ignites quickly thanks to the Big Green Egg's unique design. Air flows through a vent at the bottom of the oven, reaches the charcoal, and exits through a steam valve at the top. You can light the charcoal using any of our signature charcoal starters or an electric charcoal lighter; no lighter fluid required!
Convenient temperature control
You can grill, smoke, or bake at specific temperatures by adjusting the vents at the top and bottom of the oven. You have complete temperature control, accurate to within a few degrees! The temperature indicator displays precise readings from 0°C to 399°C.
Moisture retention
The Big Green Egg's ceramic retains heat and moisture so well that food stays juicy. Meat and other ingredients aren't fried, so all the juices and flavor are locked in.
Excellent taste
Food cooked in the Big Green Egg retains its full, natural flavor. There's no metallic or chemical aftertaste. Baked goods have the flavor and crispiness of a real stone oven.
Safety in use
The Big Green Egg is safer to use than other ovens because the ceramic surface does not get as hot as a metal one, and the fire is concentrated in a confined space.
Easy care
The Big Green Egg's surface is coated with a durable, non-toxic glaze that maintains its beautiful appearance over time and is easy to clean. Inside, high temperatures break down any grease buildup, just like in a self-cleaning oven.
