Premium Charcoal Barbecues & Smokers

Awhile back, Tom decided to augment his outdoor cooking menu by adding a smoker. His research (and the urging of several friends) eventually led him to try a ceramic cooker. To Tom's surprise, he got more for his money than just a smoker: ceramic cookers are also excellent grills, roasters and outdoor ovens. Another bonus: ceramic cookers light easily without liquid starter, and create very little ash. This amazing cooking machine now stands beside the gas grill on Tom's deck, so his guests can enjoy a best-of-both-worlds dining experience.

Based upon the traditional Chinese and Japanese Kamado charcoal cookers, improved through the use of modern methods and materials, the Big Green Egg is a versatile means of baking, roasting, barbecuing and smoking all kinds of foods.

The Buzz: Made from heavy space-age ceramics, lifetime warranty. The dual function cast iron damper top and stainless intake air control afford incredible control of internal temperature for precision cooking. Extremely fuel efficient: one load of lump charcoal lasts for several firings. Use as an outdoor oven, roaster, grill and smoker. Inspires fanatical devotion among owners.

How do you improve upon the marriage of traditional kamado cooking and space age ceramics? Well, if you're the good folks at Primo, first you upgrade to a higher density, even more refractory ceramic. Then you change the shape from round to oval, for easier cooking of ribs, whole fish, etc. Finally, you offer adjustable-height cooking grids and a firebox divider for true indirect cooking/ smoking.

The Buzz: Everything you liked about the Big Green Egg, plus true indirect cooking, better control of cooking temperatures, and an easier-to-work-with oval shape. Made in USA.
