Primo has one of the biggest cooking surfaces of all the kamado grills. Besides helping you cook
more food, it also helps when you want to smoke ribs because it has more space for grilling racks. The grill
also makes it more accommodating for pork loins, fish and other longer pieces of food, while still being big enough to do a pizza.
All Kamados are very diverse allowing you to grill, smoke, and even bake, but Primo takes the cake with its multi-positioning cooking grids.
The Primo also features a cast iron divider, which allows you to divide the kamado in half with separate cooking temperature zones. However, one
thing to keep in mind about Primo is much of what makes the grill so versatile is not included and you will need to purchase those
accessories separately. Best of all, all Primo Grills are made proudly in the USA!

The Grill Dome's best feature is the thickness of its ceramic. The ceramic thickness aids in heat retention, which is an important factor in a kamado grill.
The variety of colors available also gives you the flexibility of styling. The smooth porcelain outside look of this grill makes it fit into your outdoor setting better than
some of the other styles of Kamado grills. Grill Dome grills are made with stainless steel hardware and hinges to help extend the life of your grill.

The Saffire kamado grill prides itself on its stainless steel parts which outlasts other grills that use painted parts. The Saffire also gives you easier access through the cooking grid
to add wood chips to your coal for smoking, unlike others that require you to remove several parts of the grill. The Saffire Grill may be installed in a masonry
island so the cooking area is conveniently close to the counter top height and is aesthetically pleasing, while others require the grill to be elevated a few inches
above the counter top to allow space for the hinge which pivot downward.

*Honorable Mention: (see below)
The following grill we listed as an honorable mention because it is a popular kamado grill but it's not available for online retail
and in fact voids the warranty of the grill if it is purchased online. We decided that we would review this grill for those that
simply looking for the difference between it and other types of Kamado Grills.
Honorable Mention:
Big Green Egg
The Big Green Egg used to be available for retail on our site for several years until it was pulled from online sales, and then Big Green Egg implemented
a policy that voids the manufacturers warranty if the unit is purchased online. Just like any other kamado grill it has many great perks to it besides its
cooking ability. This grill has tons of accessories that can be bought to cook anything and everything. These accessories make it a very versatile cooking unit
that others cannot provide. Big Green Egg is also a very well known name brand and will create some nice talk in your backyard parties.
