The "BIG GREEN EGG" is the most unique barbecue product on the market today with unmatched flexibility and capabilities that surpass all other conventional cookers combined.
You can grill steaks and chops to the perfect degree of doneness, cooking at temperatures up to 750°F for steakhouse searing. The EGG will maintain a low temperature of 200° to 250°F for the low-and-slow smoke cooking that develops wonderful flavor while tenderizing the meat.
Whether searing or slow cooking, prepare the entire meal on the grill by adding any of your favorite vegetables to the cooking grid. If you're longing for pizza, cornbread, biscuits, a freshly baked loaf of bread or even a warm pie or cobbler to complete your meal, the EGG bakes better than a brick oven.
4th of July weekend 2008 Treasure Islands of Santa Cruz will be having Big Green Egg come to our store and do a cooking demonstration for a day. I will keep you posted on which day. Please come by and have some tasty food right off the Big Green Egg.

If you have time please check out our TIOSC website to see some high quality pics of our custom made to order Outdoor Kitchens, Outdoor Fireplaces, and Firepits, installed in many Central Coast backyards (and coastal homes). If you look in our Galleries&Events page you can dig up some great galleries of car shows, volleyball tournaments, poker runs, Big Green Egg demo's, and some other events that we sponsor each year here on the Central Coast.
Treasure Islands of Santa Cruz is THE Bay Area source for ALL the many variations of the BIG GREEN EGG!
Thanks for taking the time to read our blog, Much Success!

When we hold our annual Big Green Egg demonstration 4th of July weekend, Cycle Imagery located right behind us has their annual Hollister Pit Stop Party. In order to make enough room in our parking lot for Big Green Egg, the bands, foot traffic, food vendors, choppers, etc., we rope off the parking lot so cars cannot enter the lot. Don't worry though, there is a Park and Ride where everyone with a car can park. You just walk over a bridge from the Park and Ride parking lot, right into our parking lot. It makes it much easier for anyone with a car to come and go. For a great Google detailed satellite image with our store, the park and ride, and directions, please visit our Gallery on our Merchant Circle page, or click on Rick Cook below to be taken there immediately. Click on the map for an even larger view. It will make coming and going from our Big Green Egg demo, and Cycle Imagery's Pit Stop Party on July 5th, as easy as a summer breeze.
I love the Big Green Egg. I have one at home and use it all the time. You won't believe how good the meat tastes. Everyone comments on my cooking! It's a great addition to the big propane bbq I have out back.
Wow ! I am so glad that you have a blog regarding the BIG GREEN EGG. What an awesome grill, smoker, and pizza oven. I am planning on doing an Outdoor Kitchen and want to know if I could incorporate the Big Green Egg into my kitchen. Is this something that you have done or can do? Any info you could give me would be a great help.
Thanks
Hi Missy, we have built a few outdoor kitchens with The Big Green Egg. Some people prefer a charcoal grill, but the BGE is even better because it smokes, sears, bakes pizza's, and burns lump charcoal. There are advantages to lump charcoal because it is all natural (no petroleum products), and what you don't use this BBQ, you can re-light for you're next cookout. People that cook with charcoal usually get a small gas grill and a Big Green Egg in their outdoor kitchen, this gives them any outdoor cooking option that you can imagine. We can help you design a BBQ Island with a Big Green Egg on our 60" flat screen with Google Sketchup. You can come in, or fax us a pencil sketch of what you would like, or what you might be thinking about doing. If you have any questions please come by our showroom or give us a call. Thanks!
My brother wants a BBQ island for his birthday! I will for sure purchase one from ''Treasure Island'' soon!
James,
Let me know what you need and when. We do deliver to SoCal. All of our Outdoor Kitchens, Fireplaces, and Firepits are custom made. We can build anything you want. Check out our website for hundreds of pics to help you decide. You can also see what materials we us (galvenized studs, hardibacker, trex decking) in our prefabrication process. If you have any questions please give us a call (831)465-8509. Thanks!
Just a note to let everyone know that our 2008 4th of July weekend Big Green Egg cooking demonstration and Cycle Imagery's Hollister Pit Stop Party were a huge success! Big Green Egg cooked ribs, tri-tips, jalapeno poppers, pizza, chicken, and a few other creations, all to live music (everything turned out awesome!). It was pretty cool seeing groups of bikers checking out our outdoor kitchens, fireplaces, and firepits. The tropical showroom that we built also got some great compliments (yeah, from groups of bikers). For some pics of this years event (and last year) please click on "Pictures Of July 7th 2007 Big Green Egg Demo" located above the comments on this page. Mark you're calender for 4th of July weekend 2009, this is an annual event.
Hope to see you next year!
Great to see your Big Green Egg promotion went off so well.
They're great and I've coveted these for years. Glad to see you spreading the word!
Have you (or thought about having) a recipes bank?
We have been trying to spread the word about the Big Green Egg ever since we learned about it (and started carrying it) a year and a half ago. The BGE is already popular in the mid-west and the east coast, in my opinion it is the best smoker, bbq, pizza oven, on the market today. Whenever we sell an Egg the customers always come back to tell us how great it cooks, and to buy additional "Eggsessories" to make their "Eggsperience" complete. We also offer Big Green Egg purchasers a lifetime 10% discount on eggsessories, fire starters, and all natural lump charcoal.
We love the Big Green Egg, and will continue to be dealers of this awesome product.
Thanks for you're interest in the Big Green Egg, and for posting a comment on our blog!
That is a great gadget, I want one. My mouth waters at the idea of making some baby back ribs on that bad boy. What is the pricing?
The Big Green Egg comes in 5 different sizes and ranges anywhere from $300.00 to $1100.00. If you buy it online make sure you know what you are getting (all accessories are sold separately, so it is easy to get duped). My suggestion would be to go to a dealer so you can see what you are getting, and you can also get a good perspective of the size variations that they have available. You can go to Big Green Egg's website http://www.biggreenegg.com and enter you're zip code (upper left corner of homepage)(BBQ's Galore also carries The Big Green Egg, but their service is questionable). If you happen to come to Santa Cruz anytime soon we would be happy to sell you one :-)(it was worth a shot). This is also a great site to do some research (all kind's of tip's, trick's, and Green Egg recipes http://www.wessb.com
Good Luck!
I will have to check that web site on The Big Green Egg,Have never seen that one.

On July 5th 2008 Big Green Egg will come to Treasure Islands Of Santa Cruz and do a cooking demo from 10:00am till 4:00pm. We will be cooking tri-tip, chicken, and baking some pizzas on the Big Green Egg (thats right, Big Green Egg is also a pizza oven). We will also be offering some type of package deal for Any Big Green Egg Purchase. I will post a coupon when some type of discount is put together. Cycle Imagery located right behind us will also be having its annual Hollister Pit Stop Party on July 5th. There will be a few live bands, full bar, and some vendor booths with t-shirts and food. A link is located on the first page of this blog to pictures of the 2007 4th of July weekend Demo and Pit Stop Party. 4th of July weekend 2008 in Santa Cruz could be fun, start planning right away!
