EGGtoberfest 2013

John and I went to Big Green Egg’s 16th Annual EGGtoberfest in Georgia last weekend.

EGGtoberfest is held every October and is the EggFest of all EggFests.

An EggFest is a venue for people who enjoy cooking on a Big Green Egg or who want to start cooking on one.

It kicked off with a Meet and Greet Party at the Evergreen Marriott Conference Resort.

Look at the Big Green Egg XXL:

The cooking grid measures 29.25 inches in diameter for a cooking area of 672 square inches!

That’s large enough to roast a whole hog, 20 racks of ribs, or 40 burgers.
