BIG GREEN EGG SMOKER/GRILL
Combining 3,000-year-old Asian technology with space-age ceramics, the Big Green Egg has developed an almost cult-like following (the “Eggheads”) since its name was trademarked in the 1980s. Now in four sizes, the cooker uses natural charcoal to smoke, grill, barbeque or bake and was chosen a “Best Buy” in the June 2003 issue of Consumers Digest. Wooden cart, shown, available for medium, large and extra-large Eggs.
Retail Price: starting at $400, small; $550, medium; $650, large; and $1,000, extra-large; extra-large Egg with cart, starting at $1,550.
