I'm a barbecue fan. I'm from Lockhart, Texas, the self-proclaimed barbecue capital of the world; I was raised on barbecue; my first job was in a barbecue restaurant, where the "samples" I tasted were probably worth more than my paycheck; and I still eat barbecue as often as possible. Today, my barbecue and grill of choice is the Big Green Egg.

While I'm probably biased, I think ceramic cookers, including the Big Green Egg, are the most versatile grills on the market today. My intention in purchasing my Big Green Egg was for low-smoked barbecue. And the Egg is great at that. But it's also the best grill I've ever had. I can sear steaks at 800 degrees or grill chicken or pork at more reasonable temperatures. Add in the fact that the ceramic acts as a wood burning stove, making it perfect for pizza and baking, and I just can't see how another grill can do as much as the Egg.

Over the years, I've spent a lot of time answering questions about the egg, and I've designed this lens as a way to help answer many of those questions.
