Charcoal grill ONYX XL, basic set, Big Green Egg

Product detailed description

The Big Green Egg ONYX XL is a premium solid ceramic grill for anyone who doesn't just want to 'grill something' in the garden, but wants to take command of the entire weekend menu and, at the same time, evoke a quiet envy from the neighbour. The limited black edition additionally looks confident enough to make your original grill seem like a slightly amusing backup plan from the garage next to it.

Main advantages:

• The Big Green Egg ONYX XLarge basic set is a limited black edition of a premium ceramic kamado grill for truly large outdoor cooking.
• The ONYX model was created in response to the demand from Big Green Egg fans for a darker finish that better fits into modern terraces, gardens, and premium outdoor kitchens.
• The dark ONYX glaze looks elegant, striking, and clean, while retaining a subtle green hue as a nod to the original iconic Big Green Egg.
• The special ONYX edition is available in popular L and XL sizes, so the XL model combines a representative look with high capacity for regular and larger grilling.
• The XL size is among the largest and most versatile Big Green Egg models, making it suitable for family grilling, larger gatherings, and more demanding culinary projects.
• The 61 cm diameter grilling surface provides space for large pieces of meat, fish, side dishes, or several pizzas at once.
• The total grilling area of 2,919 cm² gives the grill significantly more capacity than the Large model and facilitates the preparation of multiple courses simultaneously.
• The XL model has approximately 30% larger grate than the L size, offering noticeably more space for larger groups of guests.
• The large grilling surface facilitates the combination of direct and indirect heat, allowing you to prepare different ingredients with varying heat intensity side by side.
• The grill's capacity is sufficient for up to 12 people, depending on the preparation method, ingredients chosen, and organization of the grilling surface.
• The ceramic body of the grill, developed with NASA technology, works with charcoal and can function not only as a classic garden grill but also as a stable ceramic oven.
• The Big Green Egg ONYX XL functions not only as a classic garden grill but also as a powerful ceramic oven for baking, smoking, and slow cooking.
• You can grill, bake, smoke, cook, slow cook meat, or prepare pizza with the character of an oven on a single device.
• The ONYX XL can handle large cuts of meat, whole fish, multiple side dishes at once, and even several pizzas without the cooking feeling cramped.
• For slow meat preparation, you will appreciate the large interior space, stable ceramics, and the ability to maintain the desired temperature for a longer period.
• When grilling for a larger group, you don't need to work in several small batches, as the grate size allows for better planning of the entire menu.
• The ceramic body works with charcoal, high heat accumulation, and controlled airflow inside the grill.
• Charcoal can reach high temperatures in the ceramic body and at the same time offer a long burning time with proper air regulation.
• The Big Green Egg ceramics reflect the heat generated by burning charcoal and help create airflow inside the grill.
• Excellent heating properties also predestine the XL model for high loads during larger private events or more demanding operations.
• Thanks to its thoughtful shape and air circulation, food is prepared more evenly and the grill maintains the desired temperature better.
• You can monitor the temperature inside the grill directly on the built-in thermometer in the lid, without unnecessarily opening the lid during preparation.
• The cast iron regulator in the lid allows you to control airflow and helps to more precisely regulate the temperature for different cooking methods.
• The lower ventilation door complements the upper regulation, allowing you to finely adjust the air supply according to the type of preparation.
• The ceramic ring at the bottom of the grill bowl helps to distribute heat more evenly throughout the interior of the grill.
• The cast iron fire grate promotes proper burning of charcoal and forms a solid foundation for long and stable preparation.
• The basic set includes the convEGGtor, which helps transform the grill into a ceramic oven for indirect baking and gentler preparation.
• The convEGGtor is important for baking, smoking, slow cooking, and all situations where you don't want ingredients directly over the heat.
• The stainless steel basket for the convEGGtor facilitates indirect grilling and helps to practically utilize accessories inside the ceramic grill.
• Two half-round cast iron grates are suitable for more intense contact with the food, intensive searing, and working with steaks or vegetables.
• Cast iron grates will help create a more substantial grilled surface and give meat, fish, or vegetables more pronounced thermal contact.
• Two half-moon stainless steel grates offer a more versatile surface for everyday grilling, multiple ingredients, and convenient daily use.
• The half-moon accessory system allows for a more practical layout of the grilling surface, as you don't have to work with just one whole grate.
• The basic set thus doesn't appear as a bare grill from the start, but as a well-thought-out package for multiple preparation methods.
• The ONYX XLarge is compatible with accessories for the standard Big Green Egg XLarge, so you can further expand the grill's capabilities.
• You can add, for example, a special two-part multi-level grate, EGG Mates for workspace, or a modular outdoor kitchen to the model.
• The grill can be used standalone in a suitable built-in setup, supplemented with a rolling stand, or integrated into a larger outdoor kitchen system.
• The ultra-dark ONYX glaze gives the grill the appearance of deep dark stone and creates an elegant alternative to the classic green color of the Big Green Egg.
• On sunny days, the glaze may show a subtle green hue, referencing the original iconic Big Green Egg color.
• Artisanal glazing adds depth, subtle variations, and a more vibrant character to the surface, preventing the black finish from appearing flat.
• The robust weight of 99 kg corresponds to a large ceramic grill, intended to be a stable centerpiece for outdoor cooking.
• The black ONYX finish gives the grill a more pronounced premium look without altering its performance, safety, or way of operation compared to the classic Big Green Egg.
• The history of Big Green Egg originates from traditional East Asian clay kamado ovens, used for food preparation thousands of years ago.
• The current Big Green Egg combines the principle of the old Japanese kamado with modern ceramic technology, resulting in a versatile outdoor oven.
• The ONYX model builds on this tradition with a new dark aesthetic, designed for gardens and terraces with a more modern architectural expression.
• The Big Green Egg ONYX XL basic set is a suitable choice for those who want to combine the performance of a large kamado grill, limited aesthetics, and an extended starter accessory package.
