Some models stand out immediately. The Big Green Egg The Onyx is a perfect example of this. This special edition within the Big Green Egg family is named after the gemstone onyx and distinguishes itself with an ultra-dark glaze that reveals a subtle green tint in sunlight. This gives The Onyx an exclusive look, without compromising on the performance Big Green Egg is known for. The Onyx was developed specifically for the European market and appears as a Special Edition in the Large and XLarge models.

A familiar Big Green Egg, but with extra flair

The Onyx was not conceived as a completely new model, but as a special edition for enthusiasts seeking the same quality in a darker, more premium look. Big Green Egg developed this color variant based on demand from the European market, where modern outdoor spaces and sleek gardens often call for a more subtle, luxurious appearance. This is precisely where The Onyx makes the difference. You get the same quality, the same versatility, and the same performance, but in a finish that makes an immediate visual impression.

Large or XLarge, both ready for serious sessions

The Onyx is available as Large and XLarge . The Large has a grate diameter of 46 cm, a cooking surface of 1,688 cm², and is suitable for approximately 8 people. With a grate of 61 cm and a cooking surface of 2,919 cm², the XLarge offers even more space and is suitable for approximately 12 people. This makes The Onyx not only an eye-catcher but also a fully-fledged Big Green Egg for everything from quick grilled dishes to elaborate low and slow sessions.

Smartly put together in complete packages

An important advantage of The Onyx is that this version is offered exclusively in carefully curated packages. As a result, you are not just buying a special Big Green Egg, but a set that allows you to really get started right away. For the Large , there are a Start Collection, Master Set, and Outdoor Kitchen, among others. The same applies to the XLarge , with complete configurations centered around a convEGGtor, convEGGtor Basket, half cast iron grids, and the updated half stainless steel grates.

Updated grids and full compatibility

What makes The Onyx particularly interesting is that the included half stainless steel grates have been upgraded. The bars are thicker, making reinforcing crossbars unnecessary. This makes brushing clean easier and more pleasant to use. Additionally, all existing accessories for the Big Green Egg Large and XLarge are fully compatible with The Onyx in the same size. This allows you to benefit from an exclusive design without being limited in your expansion options.

Fits perfectly in modern outdoor spaces

Big Green Egg deliberately developed The Onyx for Europe. Unlike the United States, where the iconic green is instantly recognizable, there is a high demand here for a kamado that better complements modern outdoor kitchens, dark accents, and premium garden design. The Onyx addresses this perfectly. The deep, almost black finish provides a sense of calm and style, while fully retaining the renowned Big Green Egg performance.

What you need to know about the finish

The special glaze of The Onyx is not only visually striking but is also developed on the same high-quality ceramic as the original Big Green Egg. The finish is weather-resistant and durable. However, small blemishes, hairline cracks, or contrasts may sometimes be slightly more visible due to the dark color. Dark speckles may also be visible on the inside. This is a normal part of the manufacturing process and has no impact whatsoever on the quality, durability, or performance of the kamado.
