Frequently Asked Questions*

What is a Big Green Egg and how does it work?
The Big Green Egg is a ceramic kamado-style grill that uses premium lump charcoal for fuel. Its thick ceramic walls provide exceptional heat retention and moisture control, allowing you to grill, smoke, roast, and bake at temperatures from 100°C to 400°C+. The patented air flow system gives you precise temperature control through adjustable top and bottom vents.
How does Big Green Egg compare to Napoleon gas BBQs?
Big Green Egg and Napoleon serve different cooking styles. Big Green Egg is a ceramic kamado using charcoal, excelling at smoking, slow roasting, and authentic wood-fired flavour with exceptional heat retention. Napoleon gas BBQs offer instant ignition, precise burner control, and convenience for quick weeknight grilling. Your choice depends on priorities: Big Green Egg for traditional charcoal cooking and smoking versatility, Napoleon for gas convenience and infrared searing. Both are premium brands offering exceptional quality and UK warranty support.
What sizes of Big Green Egg are available and which is right for me?
Big Green Egg offers six sizes: MiniMax (portable, ideal for 2-4 people), Small (2-4 people), Medium (4-6 people), Large (6-8 people, most popular), XLarge (8-12 people), and 2XL (12+ people for large gatherings). The Large is the most popular size, offering the best balance of cooking capacity and versatility for most families.
Can I use a Big Green Egg in UK weather conditions?
Yes, the Big Green Egg's ceramic construction is designed for year-round outdoor use in all UK weather conditions. The ceramic retains heat exceptionally well, making it efficient even in cold or wet British weather. However, we recommend using a cover when not in use to protect the metal components and extend their lifespan.
What can I cook on a Big Green Egg?
The Big Green Egg is incredibly versatile. You can grill steaks, burgers, and vegetables, smoke brisket and ribs low-and-slow, roast whole chickens and joints, bake pizzas and bread, and even cook desserts. The precise temperature control allows you to cook anything from delicate fish to high-heat seared steaks.
How do I control the temperature on a Big Green Egg?
Temperature is controlled using the top and bottom vents. More air flow (open vents) increases temperature, whilst restricting air (closing vents) lowers it. The dual-function metal top regulates airflow and allows smoke to escape. For low-and-slow smoking, keep vents nearly closed; for high-heat grilling, open them wider. The ceramic retains heat, so small adjustments go a long way.
What type of charcoal should I use in a Big Green Egg?
Big Green Egg recommends using premium natural lump charcoal, such as Big Green Egg branded charcoal. Avoid briquettes, instant-light charcoal, or treated wood, as these can produce harmful chemicals and damage the ceramic. Premium lump charcoal burns cleaner, hotter, and produces better flavour.
How long does charcoal last in a Big Green Egg?
Due to the exceptional insulation and efficient airflow design, Big Green Egg uses significantly less charcoal than traditional grills. A full load of premium lump charcoal can last 8+ hours for low-and-slow smoking, or several shorter high-heat grilling sessions. Unused charcoal can be extinguished and reused for your next cook.
What accessories do I need to get started with a Big Green Egg?
Essential starter accessories include a convEGGtor (heat deflector for indirect cooking/smoking), a quality instant-read thermometer, heat-resistant gloves, a grill gripper for safe grate handling, and premium lump charcoal. Many users also add a pizza stone, cast iron grid, and ash tool for enhanced versatility.
Can I buy Big Green Egg BBQs online with UK delivery?
Yes, shop our complete Big Green Egg BBQ range online with free UK delivery on selected models. Browse MiniMax, Small, Medium, Large, XLarge, and 2XL kamado grills with detailed specifications. For local customers in Berkshire, Bracknell, Ascot, Wokingham, Windsor, Maidenhead, and Reading, we also offer showroom collection and local delivery.
Where can I see Big Green Egg BBQs in person?
Visit our Berkshire showroom at Oaktree Garden Centre to see the complete Big Green Egg range on display. Our kamado specialists provide expert demonstrations and advice on choosing the right size. Convenient for customers in Bracknell, Ascot, Wokingham, Windsor, Maidenhead, Reading, and surrounding areas.
Does the Big Green Egg come with a warranty?
Yes, Big Green Egg offers a limited lifetime warranty on the ceramic components and a 5-year warranty on metal components (varies by part). This demonstrates the exceptional build quality and durability. Always register your Big Green Egg after purchase and follow the manufacturer's care instructions to maintain warranty coverage.
Can I leave my Big Green Egg outside all year in UK weather?
Yes, the ceramic construction is weatherproof and designed for permanent outdoor placement in UK weather. However, we strongly recommend using a premium ventilated cover to protect the metal bands, hinges, and hardware from British weather. This extends the life of these components and keeps your EGG looking great.
