16.04.2026, Just in time for the start of the grilling season, Big Green Egg introduces its newest family member, The Onyx. For the first time since its founding in 1974, 'The Original' is appearing in a new colour scheme. The deep dark glaze, inspired by the Onyx gemstone, reveals a special effect in light: depending on the angle, it shows different nuances and reveals a subtle hint of green.
Big Green Egg: The Onyx is exclusively available in Europe and in the two most popular sizes: Large and XLarge. The Special Edition is a response to the growing demand for a darker design for modern outdoor areas.
The Onyx: a new facet of Big Green Egg
The characteristic green is today an integral part of Big Green Egg's brand identity. With The Onyx, this heritage is consciously continued—not as a colour, but as a fine nuance in the glaze. The iridescent surface gives the EGG depth and expression without losing its origin. Quality, durability, and performance remain unchanged.
Advancement on all levels
In the production of The Onyx, ceramic and glaze residues are reprocessed and fed back into the ceramic composition, avoiding unnecessary material loss. Big Green Egg: The Onyx is the first model to be delivered with the Dual Zone Deflector Kit, which expands the possibilities for various cooking methods and setups. Complete sets make it easier to enter the world of Big Green Egg. John Daly, Managing Director Big Green Egg Switzerland: 'The Onyx stands for a new phase at Big Green Egg. Advancement occurs at all levels. That's exactly what makes the strength of the brand.'
Big Green Egg: The Onyx is available immediately. Starting at CHF 2,800.- for The Onyx Bestseller Large Set with trolley, Dual Zone Deflector Kit, and cast iron grate. Available at greenegg.ch and selected retailers in Switzerland.
Founded in 1974 in Atlanta, USA, Big Green Egg combines the principles of the traditional Kamado with modern ceramic technology and patented features. The EGG represents versatile cooking options and consistent results. Today, Big Green Egg is available in over 50 countries—in five sizes, with the Special Edition Big Green Egg: The Onyx, and with a wide range of accessories. In Switzerland, Big Green Egg has been distributed since 2011 by Mebo-Service AG in Chur.
