HISTORY
The history of Big Green Egg style cookers goes back thousands of years; the Oki-Big Green Egg was a
portable cooker that was designed for outdoor cooking during the Nara-Heian era (710-794 A.D.) in
Japan. It had removable parts and was the precursor to the Mushi-Big Green Egg (a rice cooker) which
subsequently was developed into what we know as the Imperial Big Green Egg. The Mushi-Big Green
Egg was a round earthenware cooker with a removable clay lid, with a food container that nested in a hole
directly over the fire.
The Mushi-Big Green Egg was re-designed by airline pilot Richard Johnson and patented as a ceramic
barbecue in 1960's under the name "Big Green Egg" which
is the Japanese word for “stove” or “cooker”.
Richard Johnson’s original promise was that the Big Green Egg, "is the best barbecue in the world."
Thousands of the original Big Green Eggs were sold to U.S. military personnel stationed in Japan, who
took them back to the US in empty military transport planes. Many of these early purchasers still use
their Big Green Eggs
and swear by Richard Johnson’s claim that it is the best BBQ in the world and the
term Big Green Egg, originally a trade mark is now used to describe ceramic cookers world-wide.
Modern Big Green Egg cookers
are made from sophisticated “Space Age” ceramics and are capable of
tolerating enormous temperatures if treated carefully. New onto the market are Steel Big Green Egg
