Green Egg

[dtrbovich]

Has anyone installed a green egg as part of an outdoor kitchen? I am looking for ideals. Thanks!

Re: Green Egg

Hello. I installed one last year when I did the pizza oven. The Green Egg is a great addition.

Re: Green Egg

I've seen a few and they look great. But after having the oven for a few years - I wonder if you need it. For chicken pizza night - I throw my Tuscan grill in the oven and grill some chicken before we make pizza... On those occasions where I'm jonesing for some wood grilled steak - I just make a small fire in the oven and go for it.

One thing I have learned with my outdoor kitchen - you can never have enough counter space.

Re: Green Egg

I agree the oven is very versatile, but nothing holds the temperature for 20+ hour smokes like the Green Egg. I just had 35 people at my house and we did a 24 lb pig in the oven and a 10 lb pulled beef in th Egg which made things easy. The big question is if you like doing long controlled smokes or not. That will determine you decision.
