Primo Oval Large 300 Ceramic Kamado Grill

Patioscape Outdoors recommended the Primo Large Grill for me. I think they did a great job! They were very professional, and maintained excellent communication during my order. I recommend them!

The versatility and quality of the Primo is superb! We use this 3-4 times per week. With the divider, offset cooking is a breeze. Go on the Primo forum for recipes & user tips from other aficionados. This is an investment that pays big dividends in excellent tasting food.

If you are reading this review then you probably already know all about the Primo Kamado's and how awesome they are. You've done all the online research already and you're just trying to convince yourself. Buy it already, you won't regret it!!!

So I've had about 10 cooks so far. The primo Kamado is amazing. The food comes out delicous. Well worth the coin. The free bbq tools...meh. the tongs are pretty much useless, I cannot hardly grasp anything with them, half the time the food slips right out. Glad I kept my old pair. Overall fantastic cooker though that I would highly recommend!

Primo is a ceramic outdoor cooker. It's much like the Big Green Egg which is enjoying a lot of buzz lately. In fact, the products are quite similar but Primo goes with an oval shape which means a little more grilling or cooking space especially in this extra large model.

Ceramic grills or cookers are not traditional grills. They take a convection approach to captitalize on the heat retention of the ceramic body. They really are like little outdoor ovens. But, the fuel is charcoal, so you get that smoked flavor. Natural lump charcoal is used in ceramics (because it burns hotter and longer with less ash to clean out). So, do not expect the old school charcoal flavor with this or any other ceramic.

As far as the grilling, Primo has enough heat to nicely grill steaks and burgers without them tasting baked rather than grilled. But, you can do so much more with a convection ceramic. They are, for example, super for outdoor pizza, since the temps can go up really high - much higher than most home ovens.

One thing I'd note is that ceramic cookers are heavy. Really heavy. I needed the boys to get mine set up. But, when you get the Primo in the stand with wheels, then it can be moved around on flat surfaces. Again, I'd need help if getting over a drop off like steps.

Plan to spend a little more to get accessories for this or any ceramic cooker. The side tables, for example, are super handy and make for a nicer set up than having a separate unattached table. A grill pizza stone is also a good buy if you do like outdoor brick oven tasting pizza.

One thing I especially like about Primo is that it's made in the USA. That's a good thing and means jobs for folks during a bad economy.

Overall, I can definitely recommend Primo if you're looking for a grill that gives awesome tastes and memories for a lifetime!

This grill was purchased as a gift for my boyfriend. He proposed the following day if it gives you any idea of how excited he was, haha!

From the time I placed my order, until delivery, I've been pleased with the customer service! Shipping was extremely prompt and the freight company was easy to work with! Even the driver was super nice :-) The grill arrived as it should have, without any damage (others seem to not have had the same fate?)

The grill itself is worth the investment! I haven't attempted baking with it, and doubt I will try. Although it's nice to have the capability in case my oven breaks and I get the urge to bake a cake.

I can’t say enough good things about Primo Grills and the Company as a whole. I hear people say “they’re too expensive!” Until you own one you do not realize the value of a quality grill/smoker/oven. We use our Primo more than our stove. You can put meat on to slow smoke all day or you can make a pizza real easily. These grills are top quality and the customer service is top notch too. I highly recommend Primo Grills to anyone looking for an outstanding grill that will last a lifetime and is made in USA.

This grill is amazing. For my first light, I smoked a brisket. Well the next day I smoked another brisket because it was so good! This grill holds temp better than I expected and it's so easy to get it to temp. Wish I had made this purchase a lot sooner. I do a lot of smoking and have a box smoker from a different company. If I'm doing a small cook I'll def be utilizing those grill instead of the large box. Very easy to use and the cart was easy to assemble and move around. 10/10 Loving my Primo

I'm a long time Primo Grill fan, so knew what I was getting. An American made, high quality, versatile back yard cooking system. Delivery was flawless. Just have some friends around to assist with moving into place.

I love the fact that this is the only 2 zone kamado style on the market and LOVE the fact that it's made in the USA., Make sure to get the pizza oven kit!! The kids look forward to our weekly pizza nights on the Primo. The name says it all - It's the Best. I have cooked on every style and brand Kamado, this 2 zone function allows you to do it all!

Primo Ceramics by far are of the highest quality compared to BIG Green Egg and Kamado Joe. The shape has many advantages as you can truly do two zone cooking unlike with rounded kamados; in addition, the bottom vent is located close to the left side making the airflow start at that side and then making it around which kind of reminds me of the offset smoker. That design will produce better meats. Seems like Primo always evolve, and they have cracked Firebox instead of a whole one. I have also heard they might improve their hinge in the future that would be big improvement since that dome weights almost as much as the base, very heavy. And they are developing stainless steel grates which is also nice. I have had quite a hassle with getting primo grill due to shipping issues, but what surprised me is the responsiveness of both, Primo and Patioscape Outdoors. You cannot go wrong with Primo Grill, they are champions at ceramic kamados at so many levels, always improving and are made in the USA which speaks - quality due to all the quality controls and environment laws & regulations we have in this country.

These are great smoker/ grills. These guys just helped me retire mine after 11 Years of frequent use and get a new one! If you like natural charcoal grilling and flavor these are the best! The oval design allows for plenty of grilling space and will blow you away for many years to come. Highly recommend!

Best all around grill/smoker I've ever used. I have used the 2 zone setup for reverse searing 2" thick bone in rib-eye steaks to perfection. I smoked 2 brisket points low and slow and the Primo held the temperature rock solid for a 10 smoke at 240 degrees. The charcoal would have lasted at least 15 hours. I look forward to making wood fired pizzas in it when I get my pizza stone.

Yesterday was my first time visiting this store. They had fantastic knowledgeable service and reasonably priced products. When I ordered this grill from them, it was perfect for my family and we started enjoying the outdoors and staying home. I will experience getting a fireplace from them and will definitely be back in the near future. I highly recommend PSO

First and foremost I LOVE that it's made in the USA. This is hands down the highest quality ceramic product the US market has to offer. The versatility of of the oval designs allows the consumer to smoke, grill, roast at the same time. As someone who has had the opportunity to cook on many various brands of ceramic, Primo is truly in a league of its own.
