The Big Green Egg is a kamado style barbecue made from ceramics, which is not really a new idea. Kamado is a traditional Japanese wood fired oven made of clay, and the Japanese have been using them for about 3,000 years.
The Big Green Egg is one of my newest smokers slash cookers slash grills and while I am not hung up on the brand name like some folks, it does exactly what it was designed to do and it does it well. I have a feeling that all of the ceramic cookers do a pretty good job regardless of the brand name.
