SEGMENTS 348-349 - Outdoor Kitchens - Big Green Egg Grill




The Big Green Egg Grill, Smoker, and Oven

is being featured in the series:

"From the Ground Up"

Creating Energy Self-Reliant,

Environmentally Friendly,

Homes and Systems


Outdoor Kitchen







The Big Green Egg was chosen not only for its ability to utilize
the Big Egg's own natural lump charcoal, which has no chemicals added, but the plentiful local resources of natural woods , renewable, local energy sources ,

but for its energy efficient construction of high
temperature fired ceramic which holds and
conserves heat, cooking foods faster, and
maintaining more of the natural juices and
nutritional values of the foods prepared.








Based on the 3000 year old ancient clay ovens of China and "Kamada" stoves of Japan, The Big Green Egg has incorporated Space Age Ceramics, stainless steel draft doors, and other innovative improvements to provide a product impervious to weather, with lifetime guarantees and durability.

Because moisture is maintained, foods don't dry out, undergo little shrinkage, and natural juices and flavors stay locked inside, allowing better utilization of nutrition and food value.

It is available with many innovative attachements,
some of which are featured in the two opening segments that introduce the Egg and demonstrate its set up and a meal prep.




Some of these devices include Pizza and bread stones which can deliver brick oven flavors and crusts, special cooking pans, Dutch Oven, and trays, ceramic mounts for cooking chickens upright to allow for self-basting and collection of juices for gravies, thermometers for measuring food doneness, utensils, and ingenious cleaning devices.







Versatility of food preparations, which can be grilled, baked, or smoked at exact temperatures gained through a system of top and bottom dampers, with temperatures up to 750 degrees, give the Green Egg capacity to control internal temperatures and consistent cooking results.





Exterior is non-toxic glaze and the interior self cleans as heat burns off any grease build up.


The Big Green Egg Cookbook contains recipes, as well as the website,
and these segments show a demonstration preparation of pepper and spice crusted meats, with side dishes of grilled asparagus, and toasted and spiced Italian bread.

Following will be further demonstrations for the sister series:

Great Gourmets with guest chefs demonstrating some of their favorite foods created in the Outdoor Kitchen.

Toasted Italian Breads, sprinkled with Olive Oil and Gourmet Spices, with Asparagus surrounding it on the grill, make use of the residual heat while the Crusted Meat is resting.
