Primo is not the cheapest, and for good reason. It's worth every penny. Had mine for over 5 years and it's the best grill/smoker I've ever had. I've used BGE and KJ and this will do circles around them. BGE is more popular (for some reason) but Primo are far more versatile and functional. The control of the heat is awesome. I can smoke a pork butt for 12 hours and never have the temp vary more than 15 degrees. You will NOT be disappointed.

I've cookeed on my Primo every day since I got it, and it just keeps getting better. Made skirt steak, pulled pork, baked beans, and a ton of pizzas.

I bought the grill as a Father’s Day gift to my husband, and he absolutely love this grill. He said it’s the best grill he’s ever had and that everyone should buy themselves one. We absolutely love it

I love the oversized extra large primo ! I can put 4 huge briskets on it when I use the second racks (which cost extra - all the items cost extra)

I wish I could give my Primo XL five stars but I have had it for 25 months and already had two warranty issues with the manufacturer and they refused satisfy me on either issue. The quality of the ceramic parts are excellent and the grill/smoker does a fantastic job of high heat grilling and low and slow smoking. Pizza at 600-700 degrees is a snap too. And for all that it deserves 5 stars. I spent the over two thousand dollars complete with XL grill, "stainless steel" cart and tons of accessories. In the first year the ss poker that helps you remove the ashes began to rust. At year two the caster locking mechanism on the ss cart rusted and broke. Now the thermometer is broken. Each event I called Primo and was told I could buy any replacement parts but whey would not supply any at two years. The customer service department was very nice and apologetic but the owner choose to ignore my complaints and stuck to his hard nosed policy. I have even learned that the thermometer is known to be shotty and they have since changed to a better on on new models. For the price of this grill every part should be the best available and the company/owner should stand behind it. Unfortunately sometimes the fish stinks from the head and for that they deserve 1 star. so I average it out to three stars to be fair.

This is an awesome grill, smoker, and oven all in one. After spending weeks of research on ceramic grills, I came to the conclusion that Primo Grills, which are made in the USA, are the most versatile and largest of all ceramic grills on the market. There are many options/add-ons for this grill that really make it stand out too. Be sure to pick up the extension racks as they are great for added food. I mostly use my extension racks for smoking meats and the results are incredible. If you need an oven, purchase the Deflector Plates and drip pan racks. The Drip Pan racks hold the Deflector Plates, but also serve to hold your drip pans when smoking fatty foods. If you want to cook a pizza, purchase the Primo Pizza stone as well. You will definitely need the Ash Tool and Grid Lifter for everyday use. Spend a few hours learning how to use this grill and you'll reap the rewards. I've provided a few tips that will save you a lot of research time and they are listed below to get you started.Best LUMP Charcoal - I found Royal Oak to be superb and it is available at Walmart in a Redish/Orange bag for $6.43 per 10LB bag. It is very highly rated on the NakedWhiz lump charcoal review website.LIGHTING THE GRILL: Propane torch with 3ft extension handle.SMOKE WOODS: Use chunks for longer smokes and chips for quick smoking. Just toss them into the coals.Pork Ribs - Baby Back or St. Louis style (Apple Wood and Hickory work great together)Chicken - (Hickory, Apple, Olive) (more to be added)Seafood - (Alder)Beef - Short Ribs(Hickory and Red Oak)Beef - Porterhouse Steak (Mesquite - chips) This combo makes an amazing feast. Add Salt,Pepper,& Garlic & 1 nice handful of mesquite chips - smoke for 5-10 minutes at high temp on bottom racks. Add butter once cooked.ADDITIONAL INFO: Go to the Primo Grill website forum for tons of pics, tips, tables, and recipes. It's very helpful.***This review will be updated periodically with more, hopefully helpful info.***
