I’ve had my Big Green Egg for a few years now, and I’ve used it in all kinds of weather conditions. I live in an area where it rains quite often, so I’ve definitely used my EGG in the rain before. And let me tell you, it performs just fine!
The ceramic material that the EGG is made of is designed to withstand high temperatures and extreme weather conditions. Rain or snow won’t harm the EGG while you’re cooking on it. In fact, the rain can actually help to regulate the temperature inside the EGG and keep it steady.
However, it’s important to note that you should not let water get inside the EGG when you’re not using it. If water is allowed to penetrate into the ceramic and then freeze, it can cause cracking. So, it’s best to cover your EGG or store it in a dry place when it’s not in use, especially during the winter months.
When it comes to cleaning the inside of the EGG, never use water. Water can seep into the ceramic and cause damage. Instead, the best way to clean the inside of the EGG is to simply let it burn off any residue during the next cook. The high temperatures will burn off any leftover food or grease, leaving the EGG clean and ready for your next cooking adventure.
The Big Green Egg is a durable and reliable cooking tool that can withstand various weather conditions, including rain. Just make sure to keep water out of the EGG when it’s not in use and let it clean itself during the next cook. Enjoy cooking on your EGG, rain or shine!
