The Oval Shape

While the Big Green Egg and most other ceramic grills are round, the oval shape is unique to the Primo. This shape allows for versatility in the types of foods that can be cooked at ease on the grill. With up to 680 square inches of available space, the Primo Oval XL boasts the largest, multi-tiered cooking surface on the ceramic cooker market today! You can easily cook tenderloin, racks of ribs, roast and other favorites without worrying about the food fitting on the cooking surface.

Extended Cooking Racks

The optional extended cooking racks not only expand the overall capacity they also allow for four independent cooking zones! These racks offer the ability to cook a variety of foods like veggies, potatoes, ribs, burgers and fish all at the same time.

Firebox Divider

The firebox divider can be used for simultaneous direct and indirect cooking or as a partition to divide the grill for smaller meals. This allows for grilling and smoking at the same time. You can also partition the grill to conserve on fuel. Big Green Egg doesn't offer this product!

The Tallest Lid

Why does a taller lid matter? Primo has a taller lid that allows for more flexibility in what you can put on the grill. The taller lid is an advantage for cooking rib racks, chicken on a can, or with an extra rack for extra large cuts!

The Bottom line

In our opinion, there really is no comparison. The Primo Oval XL offers much more cooking flexibility and versatility than the Big Green Egg.
