Primo Kamodo Ceramic grills designed to fit everyone’s outdoor cooking needs.
The Primo Kamado ceramic BBQ grill is regarded as one of the finest ways to cook outdoors and like all ceramic Primo Kamado Grill barbecues it can operate as a high temperature grill or slow roasting smoker.
The Primo used to be the “crème de la crème” of the ceramic barbecue scene but thanks to strong competition and a lack of innovation I have considered it poor value for money compared with the Monolith “LeChef”and Kamado Joe “Big Joe” in recent years.
Background
The fundamentals of a ceramic BBQ grill is that when grilling, it heats up really quickly so you can be cooking on it 15 minutes after lighting it and you can hit sufficiently high temperatures for cooking pizza or use it like a tandoor.
With the introduction of a heat deflector stone between the fire and the cooking grate you can then cook indirectly and roast like in a traditional oven or smoke at low temperature for long periods of time.
It’s a charcoal fuelled unit that has fine temperature control using two variable dampers, one under the firebox and one on top of the unit.
Why Buy A Primo Kamado?
I was fortunate enough to get the opportunity to try a Primo recently and compare it to the Big Green Egg & Monolith grills that I have at home. Essentially all are ceramic barbecues and therefore you’d think that they all performed similarly, and you’d be right. You’d also then assume that the differential between them was price, and again you’d be partially right with the Primo beating the Egg but Monolith offering dramatically better value because of it’s lower recommended retail price and the extensive bundle of accessories included as standard.
