$1,898Approx. MSRP
Great forlow-and-slow smokingsearing steaksreal charcoal flavor

Good for households that regularly host big groups and want more grate space than the Large without going to the 2XL; skip it if you mainly cook for a family of four or want the easiest low-temp smoking experience.

Pros

  • Grate is big enough for a dozen steaks or around 50 wings at once, popular with people who cook for 16+ people
  • Same 18+ hour low-temp capability and 750°F+ searing range as other Eggs
  • Spring-assisted lid keeps the heavy dome manageable to open despite the size
  • Built to last (ceramic)
  • Ceramic holds heat and moisture — grill, smoke or bake

Watch-outs

  • Costs noticeably more than the Large (roughly $450 more at retail)
  • Harder to hold precise low temperatures than the Large, according to owners who've used both
  • Weight makes it essentially a fixed, permanent installation
  • Heavy (219 lb) — pick its spot and leave it

Known niggles

  • Wide, shallow firebox makes it harder to set up for smoking sessions longer than about 12 hours without refueling
  • Runs hotter by default (owners report it wants to sit around 275-300°F rather than 225-250°F), so it's less forgiving for beginners dialing in low-and-slow temps
  • At roughly 205 lbs, owners describe it as very difficult to move alone
