If you are a grill fanatic, you've likely heard about the Big Green Egg grill. It's a ceramic bbq grill which can be used as a bbq grill, smoker and an outdoor oven. It really is so adaptable it is possible to cook anything from hamburgers and steaks and other classic bbq grill foods to desserts, bread and also pizza.

Eggheads swear by the Big Green Egg, but you may be thinking what makes the Egg (as it's fondly called) different from other bbq grills.

Probably the largest distinction is the overall look of the grill. The Big Green Egg smoker is well, green and shaped like an egg. Although I cannot say the reason why it's green, I can point out that the egg shape appeared to be created (on purpose) to present the power to control and maintain the heat in the bbq grill a lot better than other grills.

The second most important difference is the material. Instead of being made out of metal, the Big Green Egg has thick ceramic walls. Ceramic is noticeably more sturdy in comparison with other materials, which means the Egg will last longer than other barbecue grills, it can be cooked on all year (even with freezing temperatures). It is also less dangerous than other grills, particularly when there are kids playing close by, because the ceramic material stays cooler than regular metal barbecue grills plus you always cook with the lid down, therefore you never have to worry about flare-ups.

There are lots of other differences but among my favorite features would be the fan club the Big Green Egg has. You'll find Egg lovers and gatherings all through the United States, and Eggheads are excited to share their stories, helpful hints in addition to recipes at events and on the Egghead website. I can't think of any other barbeque grill that has this kind of following.

Now, the Egg does have a few negatives in comparison with other grills. Such as, it isn't a cheap grill. You can expect to spend approximately $700 to get a large Big Green Egg. In addition, you need to use lump wood charcoal, which is not always easy to find and can be quite a bit more expensive compared to traditional charcoal briquettes. The Big Green Egg also has a smaller grilling surface area when compared with many gas grills, which means you are going to want a backup grill if you're cooking for a number of people.

Having said that, the overall flexibility of the Big Green Egg grill, the ability to grill, smoke or even bake with your Egg, and the awesome results you get (the Egg is very forgiving, even for newbie cooks) are worthy of the price tag. If you're a barbecue fanatic and you do a lot of smoking in addition to grilling you'll really enjoy the quality and the results you will get when cooking on the Big Green Egg.
