Premium Pizza Wood for Big Green Egg

Our premium oak splits transform your Egg into a pizza oven by creating intense heat that crisps crusts while infusing gentle smokiness.

Large & XL Egg

Our 8” or full‑sized firewood splits are ideal for the Large or XL Egg. A 14–15 inch pizza stone fits easily, and longer wood pieces sustain the high heat needed to produce blistered, Neapolitan‑style crusts.

MODERNO 3 & 5 PIZZA WOOD

Medium Egg

Our 6” Miniature Pizza Wood cuts are ideal for the Medium Egg. It can accommodate a 12 inch pizza stone and is great for couples or small families.

FAQ — Big Green Egg & Pizza Wood

For Small and Medium Eggs, start with one or two 6 inch splits to boost the charcoal bed. For Large, XL and 2XL models, arrange a log cabin of 8 inch or longer splits over your charcoal. Let the wood catch and burn down to glowing embers before sliding in your pizza.

Oak is the most versatile choice. It burns hot and clean and pairs well with both savory and sweet toppings. Fruit woods like apple or cherry can be blended for a sweeter smoke, while hickory adds a stronger flavor.

Yes. Larger models like the XL and 2XL have bigger air chambers and more thermal mass, so adjust the vent openings accordingly. Use longer splits to maintain an even flame and monitor the dome temperature closely to avoid overheating your stone.

  1. Fill the firebox with lump charcoal and ignite to create a long‑lasting coal bed.
  2. Add pizza‑cut hardwood splits (6”, 8” or 16” depending on your Egg size) on top to raise the heat.
  3. Preheat your pizza stone inside the Egg until the dome temperature reaches 650–750 °F.
  4. Launch your pizza onto the hot stone, close the dome and bake, adding small splits as needed to maintain high heat between pies.
