Overview

Switching between grill, oven, roaster and smoker setups, this Primo ceramic kamado cooks over lump charcoal with direct and indirect sides. A damper top and a lower air slider adjust the temperature, and a Nomex-based gasket seals the lid.

The oval shape gives a hot side for searing and a cooler side for low and slow work, and the cradle with locking casters makes placement easier. The limit is mass: the unit is very heavy, and the warranty field simply says to see description with nothing stated.

Who it's for

A backyard cook or outdoor kitchen owner who wants kamado versatility and a ready-to-go setup. Renters, tailgaters or anyone short on floor space or help moving heavy gear should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Two-zone cooking on the oval grate
  • Cradle and folding side shelves included
  • Locking casters for placement
  • Hinge design eases lid lifting
Cons
  • Very heavy once loaded on the cradle
  • Warranty terms not stated
  • Two dimension sets listed

Performance notes

Ceramic insulates well, so the damper top and lower slider set airflow and temperature with small adjustments. The oval chamber holds one side hot and the other cooler, which is how searing and roasting happen at once. The hinge is described as cutting the force needed to open the lid.
