The Big Green Egg - Sizes and Specifications
Which size EGG best fits your needs? You have a choice of five sizes ranging from a Mini to an Extra Large. The detail provided here will let you determine which size you want. But keep in mind that it is not unusual for enthusiastic outdoor chefs to actually own more than one.
Extra Large Egg
For many years the Large EGG was the most popular size. But as consumers increased the frequency of their outdoor cooking, they discovered that entire meals could be cooked over the coals and even learned they could cook several meals at once, they decided that large for them wasn't large enough. We realized there was a substantial demand for an even bigger EGG so we developed the XL Big Green Egg.
