I'm wondering if one can replicate the Egg by using a deep clay pot (like a big planting pot).
I think they have a website... check there for why the shape, etc. does what it does.

They are pretty thick from what I remember... much thicker than a clay pot. Those probably couldn't take the high heat.

But look for some backyard cooking sites and toss your question out there... you never know... someone may have figured out how to get BigGreenEgg-Like results from a clay pot.
