Big Green Egg Large or Kamado Joe Classic II?

What actually differs between the Big Green Egg Large and the Kamado Joe Classic II, and what that means for how you cook.

What differs

  • The Classic II is €596.00 cheaper.
  • Both a large: cooking surface is not what you are choosing between here.
  • Both ceramic.
  • Mind what you get: the Large is supplied without a stand, the Classic II is supplied complete with a stand. A separate stand costs two to four hundred euros, and in this comparison that often matters more than the price gap.
