Big Green Egg warranty for charcoal & kamado grills
The short version
Big Green Egg doesn't cover everything, but keeps ceramic dome, base, fire ring, fire box and fire grate, grid, reggulator, bands, draft door covered for life. That full coverage is the same as most of the 6 brands we compared, which typically cover nothing in full. Some of this coverage only applies if you register the product.
From Big Green Egg's published warranty, checked October 2026.
