Small Big Green Egg

The Small Big Green Egg has a 133 sq in cooking area, a 13 in grid, and weighs 80 lb.

$699Approx. MSRP

Fine as a compact second grill or for a single person/couple with tight outdoor space; skip it if you'll ever want to cook for more than two or three people at a time.

Pros

  • Compact enough for small patios, balconies, or as a second grill
  • Lower price point than the mid-to-large Eggs, an easier entry into ceramic cooking
  • Still offers real ceramic heat retention for low-and-slow smoking on a small scale
  • Built to last (ceramic)
  • Ceramic holds heat and moisture — grill, smoke or bake

Watch-outs

  • Limited grate space realistically feeds 2-3 people, not a group
  • Reaching and holding very high searing temperatures reportedly takes longer and is less consistent than on larger Eggs
  • Fewer accessories are sized to fit it compared to Medium/Large
  • Tight cooking area (133 sq in) — small batches

Known niggles

  • Some owners report difficulty getting stock grate/setup up to high searing temps (500°F+) until swapping in an upgraded grate
  • Reviews on cooking versatility are mixed — some owners find it noticeably more limiting than the Medium once you factor in accessories
