100% Natural Lump Charcoal

Big Green Egg charcoal is made from a selection of 100% hardwoods. Big Green Egg does not add petroleum products and chemicals to our charcoal, since they can adversely affect the flavor of food. Natural lump charcoal burns hotter and cleaner and lights faster and easier than briquettes (briquettes often contain chemical additives, coal, limestone, paper binders, sawdust, starch or scrap lumber). Never use lighter fluid; with the use of either our electric lighter or our natural fire starters, lump charcoal is ready in minutes. The thick ceramic walls make the EGG very fuel efficient; you'll use less lump charcoal than you would if cooking with briquettes. Another advantage of pure lump charcoal is that it leaves little ash so less frequent cleaning out of the ash is required. When you finish cooking, just close the dampers to snuff out the fire and you'll preserve any unburned charcoal for your next cookout. To reuse, simply stir the remaining charcoal to allow ash to fall under the fire grate, add a few handfuls of fresh charcoal, and you're ready to go.

EggSettera - "Plate Setter"

For indirect cooking and baking.The Plate Setter is used for indirect cooking on the Big Green Egg. It is a ceramic heat shield that functions by providing a barrier between the food and the fire. The design of the Plate Setter (a flat ceramic disc with three "legs") allows sufficient airflow around the surface while preventing the flames and direct heat of the fire from reaching the food. Nothing will contribute greater versatility to your outdoor cooking than adding a Plate Setter to your accessories collection. The Plate Setter can be used several different ways, with the legs facing up or down. With the legs facing down, the legs rest directly on the Fire Ring and the Plate Setter provides a cooking surface at the lip level of the bottom half of the Big Green Egg. In this position you place a baking stone on top of the Plate Setter and, in effect, turn the Big Green Egg into a brick oven. This set-up is great for pizza, bread, pie or any other dish that you would bake. Chocolate chip cookies are a favorite on the Big Green Egg. The Plate Setter can also be placed on the Fire Ring with the legs facing up. In this position, simply place the cooking grid on the three ceramic legs and turn your Big Green Egg into a convection oven. You can place a roast directly on the cooking grid or in a V-Rack. Clean up is easy because the ceramic Plate Setter is self cleaning from the heat inside the EGG®, but you can also set a Drip Pan directly on the Plate Setter. In the legs up position, you can add one of several Grill Extenders to the cooking grid; you now have multiple levels of cooking. With the convection effect of the Plate Setter, all levels of meat will cook evenly without turning. If you are cooking an oversized turkey on a Vertical Turkey Roaster, take out the Fire Ring and place the Plate Setter on the Fire Box with the legs up. This lowers the cooking surface to give you much more room for an extra large turkey. Whether you are baking or roasting, the Plate Setter is a great EGGcessory and it should be one of the first supplementary purchases you make! The Plate Setter for the XL is slightly different than the others. The XL Plate Setter has shorter legs to better fit the dome of the XL EGG. It can be used in the standard configuration or it can be inserted between the Fire Box and the Fire Ring to provide for more air flow if desired.

Fire Starter                                                                          Electric Starter

Our Fire Starters are made from sawdust and paraffin and are very effective for quickly and easily lighting lump charcoal without imparting a chemical taste. A box contains 24 cubes. The Electric Starter, if you prefer that method of lighting, will light the charcoal in about eight minutes. Eggcelerator The EGGcelerator fans the lump charcoal at initial lighting for faster start-up times, especially in high altitude situations. The unit easily attaches onto the draft door of the XLarge, Large or Medium EGGs. Once the EGG® has obtained the desired cooking temperature, the unit is switched off and removed. The EGGcelerator requires 8 AA Batteries (not included), an optional power adapter will be available soon. Big Green Egg Ash Pan Although the natural lump charcoal used to fuel the EGG produces little ash and requires minimal clean-up to begin with, the task becomes even easier with the new EGG Ash Pan. The wide-mouthed, metal Ash Pan can be hooked onto the vent door directly against the base of the grill. Ashes are then scraped into the practical tool just as you would with a dust pan. The pan slides out easily, allowing you to dispose of ashes with greater convenience and no mess. The EGG Ash Pan fits the XLarge, Large or Medium EGGs.

Fish and Veggie Grid

If you're using the Large or XL EGG® to cook fish or small foods like mushrooms, shrimp or scallops that might fall through the regular cooking grid, use the 16-inch x 12-inch fish grid or the 16-inch round fish grid to enjoy all the benefits of the EGG without being concerned about food falling into the coals. It is made of porcelain coated steel and has perforations to ensure the heat and flavor reach the food. Wok Topper The 12-inch square Wok Topper fits the XL, Large and Medium EGGs and makes it easy to cook cut-up or julienne vegetables, meat or seafood stir frys, chicken tenders or any other smaller pieces of food that might slip through the regular cooking grid. It is made from porcelain coated steel and has perforations to ensure the food will absorb the same wonderful flavor it would on the regular cooking grid.
