Big Green Egg
Been looking at these and may buy one this spring. I figure some of you grillmasters own one. Are they worth the $$$? What size do you recommend? I'm looking at the Large or XL. Anything you don't like about it? Do you have it in the nest, table, or some custom built island/kitchen thing?


How do they work as grills? Smokers?

Discuss. Any pics are welcome.

Is it because he doesn't want to admit that it's nothing special?

I believe the advantage of ceramic grill/smokers is that they will maintain a constant heat much easier than metal units. I've had a couple of Hasty Bakes (very good units), but they don't come close to maintaining a constant temperature than does my Primo smoker (ceramic).

As per what size to get, I would always recommend the largest possible as once you get accustomed to using the smoker, you'll find more and more uses and will never regret the extra size.

In particular, I like the Primo over the Green Egg simply because it's oval in shape and allows a bit more flexibility. I put charcoal in one side of the firebox; that leave the other side for easy indirect heat. Best of both worlds; direct heat over the coals and indirect on the other side.

Get a ceramic unit, you'll never regret it!!!

PS. That said, the Hasty Bake is a VERY good unit too.

I have for years. For one or two chickens or one or two slabs, its excellent after you learn its quirks. I have WSM 22.5 for big cooks when I do multiple butts or briskits.
