The Primo Advantage
Patented Oval Shape
The unique patented oval shape delivers the highest cooking flexibility and efficiency of any other ceramic grill. Get true two-zone direct and indirect simultaneous cooking on each side of your grill. Grill steaks on the direct side and roast vegetables on the indirect side.
The oval shape also creates an extremely efficient cooking area with easier accessibly to your food. It accommodates more food like steaks, sausages, large roasts, ribs and whole chickens. Grill, bake, roast or smoke more food at one time.
Best-In-Category Limited Lifetime Warranty Backed by a 20-Year Guarantee
Primo is the only ceramic grill company to offer a Limited Lifetime Warranty backed by a 20-Year Guarantee. Surprisingly, a 'lifetime warranty' is defined by each state, not the company offering it. Some states determine that a lifetime warranty can be as little as a few years. Our limited lifetime warranty with a 20-year guarantee assures you that your new grill is covered for many years of use and enjoyment.
Proudly Made in the USA
Primo is the only ceramic grill made in America. We use domestic raw materials, and the firing and assembly all take place at our headquarters in Tucker, Georgia. We are extremely proud of the American ingenuity and quality craftsmanship in each of our ceramic grills.
Surprisingly, virtually all major ceramic grill companies source their grills from foreign companies. They have little or no quality control of the manufacturing process.

I ordered the Primo early on Tuesday morning. I got an email about 4:20 that afternoon with a header that started with "Your Amazon Order has shipped." That email included the statement "Shipped via CEVA"--and went on to say:
"In a few days, the shipper will contact the addressee at the phone number you provided to schedule a convenient delivery time. They will call as soon as the package has arrived at a local delivery hub near the destination address.
"Please note that a signature may be required for the delivery of any package where the value of the contents is greater than $700. If no one will be available to sign for this package, you may wish to make alternate delivery arrangements with the carrier."
I had never heard of CEVA, so I fired up google and discovered a huge number of complaints on amazon's forums and other web sites. Every once in a while there was a posting that the product was delivered on time and in good shape, but the vast majority complained that deliveries were late (or never arrived); that CEVA never called to arrange delivery; and that the merchandise was damaged on arrival.
CEVA's on-line tracking seems to run a day behind, so I didn't have a sense of progress. The site did say that they planned to call me at 5pm on Thursday to arrange delivery...
The package arrived at 10am on Thursday. Fortunately, my son was home (just got back from college). The driver rolled it from the truck to our carport on a cart. My son signed for the package without inspecting it. I came home that evening with an awful feeling in my stomach.
I unpacked the Primo and was delighted and hugely relieved to discover that it was in perfect condition.
I dunno what would have happened if no one had been home, but things worked out with the delivery. So CEVA has one happy customer. (I'd be even happier if (1) they had called to arrange delivery, and (2) the driver had prompted my naïve son to inspect the contents before signing for it.)
So now I have a really expensive 200+ pound piece of sorta-fragile ceramic sitting in my carport, and I have to get it up a dozen steps to our deck...
I removed all of the removable parts from the inside of the Primo and carried them up to the deck separately. But the shipping weight was 252 pounds, so I figure I've still got 200+ pounds to levitate somehow...
Here's the life saver: PotLifter 200-Pound Gardening Heavy Lifting Tool
It's 21 bucks. It wraps securely around the Primo--about 4 inches from the bottom. It lets you bend your knees and keep your back straight while you're lifting. My half of the 200+ pounds seemed lighter than carrying a 60-pound bag of concrete mix or sand by myself. I had bought the pot lifter because I had seen it mentioned on the Primo forums. However, I fully expected that I would try a test lift and then decide there was no way my son and I were going to get this grill up 12 steps without breaking it and our necks. So, I expected that I'd end up hiring a couple of high school football players to carry the grill to our deck.
Nope! We did it, and I'm not even sore.
If you buy the Primo Oval XL and you can't guarantee that you won't ever have to move it yourself (with the help of one friend)--get the pot lifter!
One comment on living up to its reputation. The Primo Oval XL does gets hot if you want it to (as a test, I took it up to 750 degrees...). It also holds heat - - an hour and a half after shutting it down, the inside temperature was still 350 degrees!
I'm really looking forward to graduating from "just grilling" and to starting to learn to BBQ.
Overall very satisfied customer and would highly recommend.
Good news, the method of cooking is so good, I contacted Komodo Kamado and purchased a 32" Big Bad in black. If you are thinking about a Kamado cooker and are serious, save yourself time and injury and go straight to KK at [...]. In the end, I have convinced my father to collect the Primo and do something with it (he is retired and likes to tinker so this thing will be something he can attempt to make right by upgrading the hardware).
So far I've smoked Ribs, Chicken, Tuna, and Pizza and I couldn't be happier with the results. If you want the ultimate flexible grill with the best options, purchase the Primo.. Very happy with the product! I would most certainly buy again..
