Know before you buy
The patented oval design provides a much larger surface area for dual-zone cooking. This allows you to set up distinct direct and indirect heat zones simultaneously, making it easier to sear a steak while roasting vegetables on the cooler side.
Yes, the cooking surface is expandable up to 495 square inches. You can achieve this by adding optional rack extensions, which is ideal if you are cooking for larger groups or need extra vertical space.
No, this is a grill head only. It is designed to be built into an outdoor kitchen island or placed into a compatible Primo grill table.
Because of its ceramic construction and precise airflow control, it functions as a true all-in-one cooker. You can use it to grill, bake, roast, smoke, or braise, effectively replacing the need for multiple outdoor appliances.
The grates are designed to be flipped to adjust the distance between your food and the charcoal. This allows you to bring your food closer to the heat for a high-temperature sear or move it further away for slower, more gentle roasting.
Primo uses premium-grade ceramics designed for high heat retention and long-term durability. While the material is robust, it is still a ceramic product, so it should be handled with care and protected from extreme physical impact.
