Product Highlights

Patented Oval Design

The unique oval shape creates a spacious firebox that enables true two-zone cooking — direct heat on one side, indirect on the other — unlocking a full range of outdoor cooking techniques.

Premium Ceramic Construction

Heavy-duty ceramic retains heat with exceptional efficiency, reducing fuel consumption while delivering consistent, even cooking temperatures from low-and-slow to high-heat searing.

Split Reversible Cooking Grids

Cook multiple dishes at different temperatures at the same time. The split, reversible stainless steel grates give you the flexibility to grill, bake, roast, or smoke — all in one session.

Made in the USA Since 1996

Primo has been crafting ceramic grills in the United States for nearly three decades. Every grill reflects a commitment to quality, durability, and performance that stands the test of time.
