Big Green Egg Accessories You Must Have

The Big Green Egg is a ceramic grill that can be used to grill, smoke or even bake breads and desserts. It originated in Japan, but is now a popular grill with barbecue enthusiasts in the U.S. While the Egg (as it is fondly called) is fantastic all by itself, there are several accessories that can make your grilling experience even better, including:


Get Cooking in Under 10 Minutes with the Big Green Egg Electric Starter


Wood lump charcoal is used to cook with in the Big Green Egg. You don't use regular charcoal briquettes in the Egg, and you NEVER use lighter fluid! To start your Egg, you can use either natural fire starters, or the Big Green Egg Electric Starter. No matter which you prefer your Egg should be ready to cook on in 8-10 minutes.


Create Fabulous Pizzas and Desserts with the Plate setter and Baking Stone


One of the biggest benefits of the Big Green Egg vs. other charcoal grills is the versatility. The Egg is a barbecue grill, a smoker and an outdoor oven all in one. You'll find many Eggheads who cook breads and pizzas in their Big Green Egg in addition to the more traditional ribs, burgers and other grill foods. To turn your Egg into a brick oven you'll need a plate setter or a baking stone.


The plate setter is a flat ceramic disc with three legs that is used as a ceramic heat shield by providing a barrier between the food and the fire. The purpose is to provide indirect heat which is great for cooking roasts or ribs. Or, add the baking stone on top of the plate setter and turn your Egg into a brick oven for creating fabulous pizzas or mouthwatering desserts.


Cook Up to Six Slabs of Ribs (and Torture Your Neighbors) with the Rib Rack


We love our Big Green Egg barbecue, but the one limitation we have experienced is the small cooking space. We love to entertain, so we really need more cooking space on the grill. My husband gets frequent requests for ribs, but it's hard to cook more than two slabs on the limited cooking space.


Thankfully, the makers of the Egg also make a rib rack that solves this problem. The rib rack allows you to cook your ribs vertically, which means you can cook up to 6 slabs instead of just 1 or 2. This makes entertaining our friends and family much easier!
