Primo

Primo ceramic grills are manufactured in Tucker, Georgia. Primo is the only major ceramic kamado brand made in the USA — competing kamado brands are manufactured overseas.

Every Primo grill uses a patented oval shape (vs the round shape of Big Green Egg, Kamado Joe, etc.). The oval creates two distinct cooking zones so you can sear on one side and indirect-smoke on the other at the same time — impossible on a round kamado without swapping accessories.

Primo offers a 20-year warranty on ceramic parts. Cast iron and metal components (bands, hinges, hardware) carry shorter coverage — check the current Primo warranty document on the product page for the exact per-component terms.

The main line: Oval JR 200, LG 300, XL 400, and the top-line Oval XXL 400. Each is available as a standalone unit or built into a Primo All-In-One cart. Round models (Kamado Round) are also stocked.

No — Primo grills are lump-charcoal only, which is intentional. Ceramic thermal mass plus lump charcoal is what gives kamado cooking its low-and-slow control and clean wood-fired flavor.

Yes — Backyard BBQ carries the full Primo accessory line including heat deflectors, cast-iron cooking grates, rotisserie kits, cover kits, and every replacement part in the Primo catalog.
