How do I know what size Green EGG I have?

Determining the size of your Green Egg can sometimes be confusing, especially when the promotional material mentions the grate size rather than the overall grill size. However, there is a simple way to accurately measure the size of your Big Green Egg to ensure you order the correct Pizza-Porta.

Firstly, it’s important to note that Big Green Eggs come in various sizes, including Mini, MiniMax, Small, Medium, Large, XLarge, and 2XL. Each size has its own unique dimensions and cooking capacity, so it’s crucial to know which one you have.

To determine the size of your Green Egg, you need to measure the diameter of the grill at its widest point, specifically at the base of the grill. This measurement will help you identify the correct Pizza-Porta size that will fit your Big Green Egg perfectly.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to measuring your Big Green Egg:

1. Prepare your grill: Make sure your Big Green Egg is clean and free from any accessories or attachments. This will give you an accurate measurement of the base diameter.

2. Find the widest point: Locate the center of the grill and measure across the base, capturing the outside diameter. This is the widest point of the grill and will help you determine the correct size for your Pizza-Porta.

3. Take the measurement: Using a tape measure or ruler, carefully measure the diameter of the grill. Ensure that your measurement starts and ends at the outer edges of the grill’s base for accuracy.

4. Compare the measurement: Once you have the diameter measurement, compare it to the available sizes of Pizza-Portas. Each Pizza-Porta size is designed to fit a specific range of grill diameters, so be sure to choose the one that matches your measurement closely.

If you’re unsure about the exact size of your Big Green Egg or if your measurement falls between two Pizza-Porta sizes, it’s always a good idea to contact the manufacturer or supplier for guidance. They can provide you with accurate information and help you select the appropriate Pizza-Porta for your specific grill model.

In my personal experience, I have found that taking the time to measure the grill diameter before ordering any accessories, such as the Pizza-Porta, is crucial. This ensures a perfect fit and enhances the overall cooking experience on your Big Green Egg.

Remember, each Big Green Egg size offers different cooking capacities, so it’s essential to know the size of your grill to make the most out of your outdoor cooking adventures. Taking accurate measurements will help you avoid any potential disappointment or inconvenience when purchasing accessories for your Big Green Egg.

To summarize, to determine the size of your Green Egg, measure the diameter of the grill at its widest point, specifically at the base. Compare this measurement with the available Pizza-Porta sizes to ensure a perfect fit. If you are unsure, it’s always best to reach out to the manufacturer or supplier for assistance.
