Is the Big Green Egg BBQ worth the price? We put the entry-level version to the test

Big Green Egg is the cult barbecue brand with a devoted following. These are undoubtedly the brand with some of the best BBQs for people serious about cooking over charcoal. Way more than just a barbecue, these solid outdoor cookers are designed to be used with the lid closed for year-round cooking, even in the rain.

Calling an £800 barbecue an entry-level model feels like a contradiction. But this is an eye-wateringly expensive brand, the XL version will set you back a whopping £1800. Not only that, but if you get carried away and start adding some of the various accessories and legs, you can add hundreds to the total cost.
