Big Green Egg is the brand that defined the modern kamado — a thick ceramic charcoal cooker that grills, smokes, roasts, and bakes in a single unit. Its ceramic shell holds heat and moisture remarkably well, which lets it sit at low smoking temperatures for hours or run hot enough to sear, all on lump charcoal. For outdoor cooks who want live fire and versatility from one appliance, the EGG has become the category's reference point.
What distinguishes Big Green Egg is the ceramic kamado design and the range of sizes it comes in — from the compact Mini up to the 2XL — so the cooker can be matched to a household or a crowd. The same EGG can smoke a brisket low and slow, then grill over high heat the next evening. A wide accessory system and a manufacturer warranty on the ceramic components round out why it holds its following.
Why have XPRT install it
A Big Green Egg can sit in a nest, but built into an outdoor kitchen it becomes a construction detail. Because it is a charcoal cooker, the surrounding masonry needs the right non-combustible clearances and airflow, and the opening has to match the EGG's dimensions exactly so it seats safely. XPRT builds the island to those tolerances and integrates it with the rest of the kitchen. One accountable team, permitted where required and backed by a local warranty.

Common questions
Yes, and it is a popular way to use one. Because it burns charcoal, the EGG needs correct non-combustible clearances and an opening cut to its exact dimensions so it seats and vents safely. We build the island and integrate the EGG as part of the kitchen rather than treating it as an afterthought.
The EGG is made in a range of sizes, from the compact Mini up to the large-format 2XL. The right size depends on how many people you usually cook for and how much space the island allows. We will help match the size to the kitchen we are designing.
Quite different. A kamado like the EGG is a ceramic charcoal cooker that holds heat and moisture for long, low smoking as well as high-heat grilling, while a gas grill trades some of that range for convenience. Many outdoor kitchens include both, and we can design an island that houses each.
