If you love to grill, you've most likely heard about the Big Green Egg grill. It's a ceramic bbq grill that can be used as a bbq grill, smoker and also a brick oven. It's so versatile you are able to cook anything from hamburgers and steaks and other classic grill foods to desserts, bread and also pizza.

Eggheads love the Big Green Egg, but you might be wondering what makes the Egg (as it's fondly called) different from other grills.

Possibly the biggest distinction is the overall look of the grill. The Big Green Egg smoker is well, green and in the shape of a big egg. While I can't say the reason why it's green, I will say that the egg shape appeared to be created (purposely) to provide the ability to control and maintain heat within the smoker a lot better than other grills.

The next biggest difference is the material. Instead of being made with metal, the Big Green Egg features thick ceramic walls. Ceramic is much more sturdy in comparison with other materials, so the Egg will last longer than other grills and smokers, it can be cooked on year long (even with freezing temps). It's also less dangerous than other grills, particularly when there are little ones running around, because the ceramic material stays cooler compared to traditional metal barbecue grills plus you always grill with the lid down, so you don't have to worry about flare-ups.

There are lots of other differences but among my favorites is definitely the fan club the Big Green Egg has. There are Egg fans and gatherings throughout the United States, and Eggheads are excited to share their stories, tips in addition to recipes at events and also on the Egghead forum. I can't think of any other grill that has this kind of following.

Now, the Egg has some shortcomings in comparison with other barbecue grills. For instance, it's not a cheap grill. You can expect to shell out about $700 to get a large Big Green Egg. In addition, you'll want to use lump wood charcoal, which isn't always easy to find and can be quite a bit more expensive than standard charcoal briquettes. The Big Green Egg also has a smaller cooking surface area when compared with many gas grills, which suggests you'll need a backup grill if you're cooking for a lot of people.

In spite of this, the overall flexibility of the Big Green Egg grill, the capability to grill, smoke or bake with your Egg, and the awesome results you get (the Egg is very forgiving, even for amateur grillers) are worthy of the price tag. If you are a barbeque enthusiast and you do a lot of smoking in addition to grilling you'll love the quality and the results you will get when cooking on the Big Green Egg.
