Webmaster's quotes

Oriental kamados…used for smoking in Asia for centuries, but now also made and sold in the United States. The kamado we use is called the Big Green Egg, which is exactly what it resembles. Imported kamados come with many of the same features of the Big Green Egg, but not the same lifetime guarantee against cracking, or such ready access to service.

It's fantastic. Once you cook with it, you'll be amazed…. Chicken has an altogether different taste and it's never dry…. turkey is dynamite. ….Sears meat beautifully and seals in juices… I've had all kinds of grills and this is the best…. …. And…it's pretty cool looking as well.


— Washington Post, June 10, 1998


Egg-shaped, charcoal-fueled kamados are one of a growing array of outdoor ovens specifically engineered for smoking. …. have thick ceramic walls that efficiently retain heat and moisture ensuring good, consistent performance in varying weather conditions.
