The most striking aspect of The Onyx is its extraordinary colour – inky gleam with just a hint of green. But the beauty of this special-edition model is more than skin deep.
The Onyx is the same size and shape as the classic Large EGG, our bestselling model. It is ideal if you’re regularly cooking for four to six people – big enough for family meals and dinner parties but compact enough to work in almost any outdoor space.
Building on 50 years of heritage, The Onyx also offers a glimpse of the future. This is the first model to showcase the game-changing Quick Light Kit, which makes lighting the EGG faster and cleaner and leads to improved heat distribution and control. The Onyx also comes with our new Dual Zone Essentials Kit, which makes it easier than ever to set up and master the EGG’s many cooking modes.

A design masterpiece
Eight modes, Endless possibilities
Unlock the modes: the Dual Zone System
The Dual Zone System unlocks the EGG’s unrivalled versatility. It allows you to focus on a single mode – turning your entire EGG into a pizza oven or a low & slow barbecue pit. Or, with equal ease, you can combine more than one. You could, for example, roast a chicken on one side of the Dome, grill flatbreads on the other side, and dirty cook aubergines directly on the coals. A full feast, no fuss.
Faster, cleaner ignition: the Quick Light Kit
The game-changing Quick Light Kit consists of a Quick Light Tool and a Stainless Steel Grate. The tool slides into the EGG via the Draft Door, lighting the coals from below, meaning faster ignition, cleaner hands and better heat distribution. The grate’s large, honeycomb-shaped holes reduce hot spots, improve temperature control and allow more ash to fall through, making cleanup easier. Includes a box of Premium Natural Speedilight Sticks.
Don’t just take our word for it
FAQs
With the exception of the MiniMax which comes in its own carrier, your EGG will need some kind of support. Using our Configurator, you can find the base or table that's right for you, along with all the specs you need to check dimensions, weights, etc.
If you're looking to build a custom outdoor kitchen, you will still need to get yourself a Table Nest to ensure there's good circulation between the bottom of your EGG and the surface it will be supported by.
Your lifetime warranty covers the EGG’s ceramic components (Base, Dome, Firebox and Fire Ring). The metal components (rEGGulator, Stainless Steel Grid, Fire Grate, Bands and Draft Door) are covered by a 5-year warranty. Wooden products (tables and shelves), the Tel-Tru and the Gasket are covered by a 1-year warranty. The Dual Zone Essentials Kit carries a 3-year warranty.
Although the darker glaze may absorb slightly more heat from direct sunlight, this has no impact whatsoever on the internal temperature. The cooking experience will remain exactly the same.
Not yet. The new Quick Light Kit will become part of the standard Big Green Egg setup in 2027. But until then, this significant upgrade is only available through the Onyx.
Yes! All accessories designed for the Large Big Green Egg will fit the Large Onyx perfectly.
The Onyx finish is applied using the same high-quality ceramic and glaze as the original Big Green Egg, so it is equally durable and weather resistant. Normal use, cleaning and exposure to the elements will not cause noticeable scratches or stains. However, due to higher colour contrast, the usual tiny speckles and ceramic crazing on the surface may be slightly more noticeable.
The ceramic surface inside a classic EGG will be dotted with light-coloured speckles. In the Onyx, some of these speckles are darker and more visible. This difference in colour is a direct result of our efforts to make the production process more sustainable by reducing material waste. To build the Onyx, we are reusing some of the ceramic and glaze left behind during our production process. Rather than being thrown away, these remnants are carefully processed and mixed into the new ceramic, resulting in the darker speckles. These have no impact on the durability or performance of the product.
It couldn’t be easier. Once your Fire Box is filled with charcoal, insert the Dual Zone Basket. Then add in a combination of Half Moon Ceramic Deflectors, Half Moon Stainless Steel Grids and other compatible surfaces. You can cook directly, indirectly or, by mixing and matching, with two types of heat at once.
