Eggheads were serving up everything from Paella to Kangaroo on their beloved Egg. Some highlights were captured on video. Thanks to all who contributed.

Tracing the Development of the Big Green Phenomenon
You can’t miss this one. If it has nothing else going for it, the Big Green Egg certainly stands out from the crowd. Shaped exactly as it’s named, this unique smoker and grill has an almost fanatical following that seems to only be growing.
Where did it all begin? Who are the “Eggheads” that rave so loudly about this product? What’s behind the legend and when did this outdoor kitchen appliance become an industry icon?
Way Back In History
Truly a phenomenon in the 21st century, the Big Green Egg comes from humble roots.
American soldiers returning home from Japan after WWII brought cargo planes full of items from the Eastern world. In the midst of that crowd was a unique rice steamer used in Japan for ceremonial purposes. The “mushikamado” had a simple clay pot design that included a removable lid, a damper at the top and a draft door on the bottom.
