If you love to grill, you've likely heard about the Big Green Egg cooker. It's a ceramic grill that can be used as a barbeque grill, smoker and also an outdoor oven. It's so versatile you are able to prepare anything from hamburgers and steaks and other traditional grill foods to desserts, bread as well as pizza.

Eggheads swear by the big green egg smoker, but you might be asking yourself what makes the Egg (as it's fondly called) out-shine other grills.

Probably the biggest distinction is the overall look of the grill. big green egg grill is well, green and shaped like a big egg. While I cannot say exactly why it's green, I can say that the egg shape appeared to be created (on purpose) to offer the ability to regulate and maintain the heat within the bbq grill much better than other grills.

The second largest difference is the material. Rather than being made with metal, the Big Green Egg has thick ceramic walls. Ceramic is much more long lasting when compared with other materials, which means the Egg will last longer than other grills, it can be cooked on year long (even in freezing temperatures). It's also safer than other grills, particularly if there are children running around, because the ceramic material is cooler than traditional metal bbq grills plus you always cook with the lid down, so you never have to worry about flare-ups.

There are several other differences but one of my favorites would be the number of fans the big green egg cooker has. You can find Egg followers and gatherings throughout the U.S., and Eggheads are eager to share their stories, tips as well as recipes at events and on the Egghead forum. I can't think of any other grill that has such a following.

Now, the Egg does have some negatives in comparison with other grills. For instance, it's not a cheap barbeque grill. You can expect to pay about $700 for the large Big Green Egg. Additionally, you have to use lump wood charcoal, which isn't always easy to find and can be quite a bit more costly than traditional charcoal briquettes. The Big Green Egg also has a smaller cooking area compared to many gas grills, which means you will need a backup bbq grill if you're entertaining a lot of people.

Having said that, the flexibility of the Big Green Egg, the ability to grill, smoke or bake with your Egg, and the awesome results you will get (the Egg is very forgiving, even for novice grillers) are worth the purchase price. If you're a barbeque fanatic and you do a good deal of smoking in addition to grilling you will love the quality and the results you will get while using the Big Green Egg.
