It is the answer.

It is a smoker, grill and convection oven all wrapped up together. There may be a bit of a learning curve getting the temps right, but once you that clicks, you are set. Also, a nice investment is one of these electric starters. It takes all the hassle of charcoal-starting out of the equation.

I've done all kinds of pig, cow and lamb parts, as well as pizza, veggies, etc. My brother-in-law has a crappy oven incapable of baking in their house and he has actually baked brownies and cakes in the egg.

It is also super efficient with charcoal for the low and slow cooking. If you do things just right, you can smoke a couple of butts for 12 hours without ever adding any additional charcoal.

    ++1 on the Green Egg.
    I've had mine 5+ years and the only thing I haven't tried on it is
    dessert.
    Searing steaks at 700+ degrees.
    8 plus hours at 200 for a rack of pork ribs.
    12 plus hours for a brisket that kills.
    Wood fired pizza.
    The look on people's faces as they taste whatever I serve up is
    priceless.
    This thing has a cult following. I won't even mention all the
    different dry rubs people have come up with. Lump charcoal? Never
    knew there were so many around the world that create different
    flavors.
    Damn good stuff.

    +1. I'm definitely the chef in the household. I'll put my smoked pork
    shoulder and BBQ sauce up against anyone's... :-)
