Having had our Big Green Egg for a few years now and have had a chance to try a few EGGcessories – Egghead code for accessories for the Big Green Egg grills. There certainly is no shortage of them and as a Platinum Big Green Egg dealer, Blackhawk Hardware carries over 140 different EGGcessories! How ’bout that?! On top of that Blackhawk stocks all seven Egg sizes, at least three EGG islands/tables, Big Green Egg charcoal, and tons of sauces and seasonings. Pair that with our friendly EGGsperts who love to talk all things Big Green Egg and you’ve got yourself the best Big Green Egg shopping experience in the Carolinas.
Since every EGG’s home will be different I will exclude stands, covers and full kitchens from my list. Just create the set-up that reflects your outdoor cooking style. So, let’s take a look at our family’s five top Big Green Egg accessories!
EGGniter
The easiest way to light your Big Green Egg’s charcoals is with the EGGniter (don’t you just love the EGGcellent names the BGE team comes up with all the time?!). No matches necessary, the EGGniter starts your fire with super-heated air. The convenience factor is what makes the EGGniter a favorite EGGcessory to own.
ConvEGGtor
Switching your Big Green Egg from direct to indirect heat is the ConvEGGtor’s job. It distributes the heat evenly in the dome and shields your food from direct flames. Once you own a ConvEGGtor you can pretty much kick your oven to the curb (except your kitchen would look weird and it may come in handy during tropical down pour…). With excellent temperature control and that flavor boost, a Big Green Egg with ConvEGGtor outshines your oven any day!
EGGmitt
We use ours so often I can’t even count. Avoid a trip to the burn unit by protecting your hands with a set of high quality grilling gloves. How did we get our Thanksgiving turkey off the grill? With grilling gloves! How do we flip skewers the easiest way? With grilling gloves! Seriously an über important EGGcessory in our house. They make great gifts, too!
Pizza Stone & Peel
The Big Green Egg Pizza Stone and Pizza Peel transform your patio into a square in Naples. We were so delighted about how fantastic the first pizza we made on the Big Green Egg tasted. Just like from a woodfired pizza oven. What’s more, you can bake bread and deserts on it as well. A mandatory Big Green EGGcessory!
Cast Iron Skillet
Last but not least, one of my top EGGcessories is the cast iron skillet! It scores high in versatility and function as the amount of different dishes you can make in it is insane. You can bake pies or casseroles in them, and sear and finish steaks to perfection. Absolutely a must have!
