So, here are my requirements:
- Made in the USA or another democratic country
- Hinged lid
- Holding enough food to grill for 8 and large enough to put coals aside / a drip dish in the center to do some simple BBQ

33. Where is the Big Green Egg made?
The Big Green Egg is the original American designed ceramic cooker. The proprietary ceramic components of the Big Green Egg are manufactured in Mexico at an advanced technology facility that has earned ISO14001:2004 Environmental Certification and ISO9001-1944 Quality Certifications. The Spring-Assisted Bands, Hinge Assembly, External Temperature Gauge and Stainless Steel Cooking Grid are designed and manufactured in the United States of America. The lower fire grate is made in China. To our knowledge, there is no kamado cooker on the market that consists of 100% American made components throughout.
