The Big Green Egg is the most popular Kamado grill on the market. The company has been a pioneer in this field for decades and continues to be the leading Kamado brand. Shaped like an egg, these charcoal grills and smokers are durable and versatile, excelling in both grilling and smoking. It is this versatility that brought them success, placing them consistently among the Best Kamado Grills on the Market. Big Green Egg grills are exclusively sold through authorized dealers, making it challenging to find their prices. This is why I maintain a list of the current Big Green Egg Prices.

Prices fluctuations

Please note that he prices below are the manufacturer’s suggested retail price for the grill only and do not include accessories or stands. Individual retailers may sell these grills at different rates and with different packages. I do suggest comparing prices with local retailers to find the best deal. Depending on where you live, there may be many or just a few. Check the Big Green Egg Website to find the dealer in your area. Big Green Egg Grill and products are also available through Ace Hardware Stores.

Recent Enhancements

Big Green Egg has made a number of improvements to its grills, some of these include optional accessories. Check with your dealer to see that they have the latest enhancements:

• rEGGulator Cap: In the past if you lifted the lid of your egg, the cast iron vent cap would move, changing your temperature regulation. The new cast iron cap stays in place and has a stay cool handle so you don’t need a heat resistant glove to adjust the temperature anymore.
• The new Acacia wood handle matches the wood used on EGG Mates tables for durability and direct color match.
• Easier to adjust side bands.
• USA Made stainless steel cooking grates.
• And best of all, an improved, high-temperature gasket that lasts much longer and provides better connection between the lid and the body.

Current Prices for all Big Green Egg sizes

Mini – $469.95

The Mini is a tabletop version of the Big Green Egg. At 39 pounds it can be considered to be a portable grill provided that it isn’t carried very far.

• Grate Measurement: 10-Inches
• Capacity: Two Chicken Breasts or One Steak
• Weight: 39 Pounds
• Height: 15 Inches

The Mini version of the Egg is very small. If you are considering buying this little grill, be mindful that it has the same cooking space as a 10-inch frying pan. It is light enough to take on the road, however, it is ceramic and relatively fragile. At 32 pounds, it isn’t the perfect choice for a portable charcoal grill. There is one application that makes this little Kamado grill a good option; it functions as a steak cooker. Yes, it will only cook one steak at a time, but with its high-temperature capability and real fire heat source, it makes a near perfect steak.

Small – $659.95

The small version of the Big Green Egg is large enough to cook two steaks. This grill can be placed in a stand or other enclosure.

• Grate Measurement: 13-Inches
• Capacity: One 12-Pound Turkey or Four Hamburger Patties
• Weight: 80 Pounds
• Height: 22 Inches

The Small version is taller than the Mini or the Mini Max. However, at only 22 inches tall, it’s wise to place it on a nest or other fireproof stand. The cooking area of this grill is 13-inches in diameter; just a little bigger than the standard 12-inches. This grill can handle up to four burgers or a pair of steaks. It is excellent for small households and those with small backyards. Remember, this is a charcoal grill, so if you are thinking of housing it on your balcony, check your local fire codes first.

Mini Max – $699.95

The Big Green Egg Mini Max has the short body of the Mini and the cooking grate of the Small.

• Grate Measurement:13-Inches
• Capacity: Four Burger Patties or Two Steaks
• Weight:76 Pounds
• Height: 19.5 Inches

The Mini Max has the same cooking space as the Small but in a stout little body. This Kamado is popular in restaurants where they grill steaks to order. Capable of generating high temperatures and prolonged burning time, this is one of the best steak machines on the market. When comparing Big Green Egg prices, I recommend choosing carefully between this model and the Small version above. They both have the same capacity, but this one can sit on a (fireproof) tabletop.

Medium – $799.95

The Big Green Egg Medium actually fits the needs of most backyard cooks. For more advanced cooking, a larger size is recommended.

• Grate Measurement: 15-Inches
• Capacity: One 18-Pound Turkey, Six Burger Patties or Four Steaks
• Weight: 114 Pounds
• Height: 26 Inches

This Big Green Egg Medium Charcoal Grill fits between the smaller eggs and the large. It is ideal for smaller families and those cooking for two. It has a 15-inch diameter cooking grate that will provide enough room for larger items like a turkey.

Large – $1099.95

The Big Green Egg Large is the most popular size model and perfect for high-temperature grilling and low and slow smoking.

• Grate Measurement: 18-Inches
• Capacity: One 20-Pound Turkey, Two Whole Chickens, Twelve Burger Patties, or Eight Steaks
• Weight: 162 Pounds
• Height: 30 Inches

The Large Big Green Egg is the most popular model and outsells all other sizes combined. This is the Kamado that revolutionized outdoor cooking. Let me point out, however, that while labeled as a large, it isn’t a huge grill. On the other hand, this is more than ample grilling and smoking space for most cooks. If you need to feed an army, look farther down on this list. One additional asset to this size, there are literally hundreds of available accessories that fit this size.

XL – $1,499.95

The Big Green Egg XL has the space for much larger groups and is ideal for serious backyard cooks.

• Grate Measurement: 24-Inches
• Capacity: Two 20-Pound Turkeys, 24 Burger Patties, or Twelve Steaks
• Weight:219 Pounds
• Height: 27 1/4 Inches

Just as the Large doubled the capacity of the Medium, the Big Green Egg XL is another doubling. This model can hold two 20-pound turkeys at the same time. It can also cook two dozen burger patties. The XL is excellent for smoking and can cook two full briskets easily (more with additional accessories). This model in particular should be called the Big Green Egg Smoker because it is perfect for making barbecue. Considering the minimal price jump from the large, this might be your best choice for one of the best Kamados for smoking on the market.

2XL – $2,499.95

The 2XL Big Green Egg is a monster that can cook a small pig. It is only useful for those that need to cook for a very large group. I recommend a smaller size for everyone else.

• Grate Measurement: 29-Inches
• Capacity: One suckling Pig, 35 to 40 Burger Patties, or 20 Steaks
• Weight: 424 Pounds
• Height: 35 1/2 Inches

Let’s be completely honest; this isn’t the Kamado you are seeking. Unless you are a country club, event center, or caterer, this grill is too large for the average backyard cook. The 2XL is also a pretty big price jump from the next smaller model. Also, consider that with a simple stand, charcoal, and food, this grill weighs nearly 500 pounds. Many decks will groan under the load. I am not saying that it isn’t a great Egg, but it is a specialty product.

Buying Advice for the Big Green Egg

The Big Green Egg comes with a stainless steel cooking grate, a top vent cap, and a set of three stabilizing feet. Place the grill on a stable, level surface capable of supporting its weight. It is recommended to set this grill on metal, brick, tile, or other fireproof surfaces. While the exterior does not get extremely hot, burning embers can escape from the bottom vent.

Online retailers or big box stores are not authorized to sell Big Green Egg Grills. If you buy a unit through an unauthorized retailer, it will void all warranties and support for your grill. When purchasing a Big Green Egg through an authorized dealer, talk to them about the accessories. Many will bundle products together at a discounted rate over buying the grill and accessories separately. This is a good strategy for getting the best price possible. Frequently, retailers will offer the big green egg next, plate setter, and other options at discounted rates with a grill purchase. Consider this list of Big Green Egg Prices as accurate, but look for special offers when available.

I also suggest conducting a search in your area for ‘Big Green Egg for sale’. Sometimes you will get lucky and find one of these grills/smokers in good condition for a great price.

Latest from the Big Green Egg Company

In January 2022, Big Green Egg announced that it would now be a ‘purpose-driven’ company. To speak plainly, the company now promised to put a portion of its profits towards child-focused charities in the more than 50 countries in which its product is sold. Personally, I commend the effort to make the world a better place. You can read the full press release on their website.
