Big Green Egg Medium vs Boretti Ceramica Medium

What actually differs between the Big Green Egg Medium and the Boretti Ceramica Medium, and what that means for how you cook.

What differs

  • The Ceramica Medium is €254.00 cheaper.
  • They are in the same size class (medium), so look at the grate size for cooking surface.
  • Both ceramic.
  • Mind what you get: the Medium is supplied without a stand, the Ceramica Medium is supplied complete with a stand. A separate stand easily costs a few hundred euros, and in this comparison that often matters more than the price gap.
  • The Medium’s grate is 4 centimetres larger in diameter.
