The Big Green Egg smokes, grills, bakes and roasts.I have been a fan of Dr. Seuss for many years -- entertaining myself, my daughters and my grandchildren. We have all been entertained and fascinated by "green eggs. . . ." This fantasy world is a fun place.

The real world is now more fun, too, with a real Big Green Egg.

Yes, Dr. Seuss, there really is a Green Egg! I have one and declare publicly that I am in love with it. My wife understands and even supports me in this love affair.

What is the Big Green Egg, you ask? It is a ceramic smoker/grill that is designed for smoking, grilling, roasting, baking and barbecuing. I have, like many backyard "cooks," owned hibachis, charcoal grills (open and closed) and propane-powered grills.

Pricey New Grills, Gadgets
Heat Up Winter Grilling

Rob David recently made his family a special marinated chicken dish, along with some tasty broccoli and spicy baked potatoes. All of which might not sound unusual, except that he grilled the dish in his backyard -- outdoors, in the snow, in subzero weather in Detroit. "I'll just run outside," says the 46-year-old radio producer, who has a special grill for this and says the longest part of the job is "putting on my hat, coat and
boots."

It may be the height of some of the coldest weather in recent years, but American cooks have hit on a new obsession: winter grilling. Pushed by a $2 billion grilling business that could use some help, they're out there 2-feet deep in snow with a new generation of "infrared" grills (top temperature: more than 1,600 degrees) and pricey extras such as canvas-covered cooking islands. Some grill makers even introduce new models in January instead of July these days -- and are finding quite a market. Sears says its grill sales jumped 15% in December from last year, while Vermont Islands, a maker of grilling stations, has seen winter-month sales climb 60% in the past two years.

When people fall into the cult of the Big Green Egg, they talk of lump charcoal and alderwood, of briskets and Eggfests and temperatures of 180 degrees, 325 degrees, 800 degrees, higher.

Smoke perfumes their lives, which they spend on decks and in backyards, hovering around their hot, ceramic ovens shaped like eggs. They wear not hooded robes, but aprons. They engage in sacrifice - chickens, cows and yes, sacrificial lambs.

Numerous articles have been written about the wonders of the Big Green Egg. Here are just a few!

This site is in the middle of a complete revamping due to our demand for offering a full-service online retail store for the Big Green Egg. We will continue to offer these popular items for delivery to BBQ competitions, but also offer shipping nationwide.

Please bear with us as we make this change to better serve our fellow "Eggheads" out there!
