After a bad experience with a knockoff ceramic grill (Bayou Classic - poor quality, poor customer support), I took the plunge and spent the $ to get a Primo. Wow!!! Wish I had done this with my original purchase! Fire mgmt with the Primo is super easy, almost like regulating your oven temperature. I smoked a bunch of ribs and a shoulder at 250F for 8 hours, next day had the grill at 700F for searing steaks with no trouble at all. Flexibility of Primo is great, whether indirect vs direct cooking, grilling vs. smoking. Heat deflector plates, firebox baffle and the cast-iron grill racks are must-have accessories. As a side note, Shopperschoice.com (BBQGuys.com) did a really great job with customer support. My 1st Primo arrived heavily damaged by a forklift during transport. They replaced it no questions asked and shipped the new Primo the next day. They are a great place to buy an expensive grill like the Primo.

So I've had about 10 cooks so far. The primo xl is amazing. The food comes out delicous. Well worth the coin. The free bbq tools...meh. the tongs are pretty much useless, I cannot hardly grasp anything with them, half the time the food slips right out. Glad I kept my old pair. Overall fantastic cooker

I have had my grill now for better than 18 months. Best money I have every spent. I love it we cook on it about 3 to 4 times a week. You need to get you one. My Bother-in -law has a green egg and he is jealous of my Primo Xl. also BBQ guys is the best place to buy.

I have had the Primo Oval XL for about six months and use it every weekend as well as many week nights. The weekends are typically spent smoking some pork butt or brisket...during the week we grill steaks, burgers, salmon....it is easy to use, I love this grill.

The unit is well made as is the metal cart we got with it. We had one cross threaded bolt that we could not use but overall it went together without a problem. The sales and service people were quick to respond to any questions we had. The pork shoulder we smoked was tender and moist. It was better than the pork we have been smoking on our gas grill. The temperature was a lot easier to control than I thought it would be and we didn't use a lot of charcoal for 12 hours of smoking. We are very happy with the product.

The versatility and quality of the Primo is superb! We use this 3-4 times per week. With the divider, offset cooking is a breeze. Go on the Primo forum for recipes & user tips from other aficionados. This is an investment that pays big dividends in excellent tasting food.

I have grilled and smoked all my life. My Dad bought his first Weber in 1972. I love to smoke and have competed in many contests. I bought my Primo XL 6 years ago. It is the most efficient and Versitile unit available. Buy it! It does it all. I cook the entire meal on it without a sweat.

I definitely did my research ahead of time and this is the cooker I choose. My only complaint is I wish I would have purchased it sooner. If you love to BBQ and grill this is a must. First you need to be sold on a Komodo type cooker i.e., ceramic. From there, you have the choice of about five brands. Ceramic in general: Pros - Well insulated so food does not dry out - Keeps flavor in and you can taste a difference - Extremely efficient with charcoal - Can grill at a seating 700 degree or smoke at 150 degrees and everything in-between - Keeps temperature even an consistent - Due to large ash space and fuel conserving efficiency, you can reuse old coal for next cook. Just light it and let it warm up while you prepare your food; almost as simple as gas. Cons: - Heavy - Pricey - You will become addicted to outdoor cooking! Unique differences offered by the Promo Oval. 1. Much larger cooking area, the Green Egg, as well as other traditional shapes which are only 18" and are very limited. "Have you ever cooked on an 18" Weber Kettle it's just inconveniently too small". 2. Extra extended cooking racks for even more space are available. 3. Iron divider that fits in the fire box for true indirect cooking; great for steaks or anything in that matter where, you want indirect and direct cooking at the same time 4. A great user Forum site full of supporting users, as well the people at Primo are super helpful and knowledgeable. Lastly, the great thing about this cooker is the ease of use; I've cooked a brisket for 18 hours and never needed to add charcoal or even lift the lid during the entire cook! I truly believe Primo is the Cadillac of the "ceramic cookers". Another nice feature is if you add lots of coal at first, due to its efficiency you can just re-light what's left over from the last cook and a few more times depending on what your cooking; it's nice to just to go out and light it without cleaning ashes an pulling out the bag each time! I have had mine for close to five years now and still love it I now cook outdoors 3 to 4 days a week now:)

When will my item arrive?
Once shipped, items usually arrive within 3-5 business days. While UPS and FedEx are our carriers for smaller items, be aware that larger items and orders are shipped via freight. The freight process is a bit more complicated than what we've all come to expect for small parcels, so it's important that you're prepared and understand what's required of you well before delivery day.
- Most freight products ship on a pallet
- Some carriers will call to schedule a delivery window, while others will deliver the shipment to a reasonably accessible location closest to your residence (their goal is to deliver as near a garage door as they can).
- We'll specify which process you can expect in your shipping confirmation email.
For carriers that schedule delivery appointments:
Carriers that schedule delivery appointments require you to be home for delivery and provide your signature. The delivery is made with a semi-truck with lift gate services, and the shipment is dropped off at the curb. If you authorize the shipping company to leave the delivery without a signature, BBQGuys can't be held responsible for damages that occur during delivery. As complicated as this process may seem, we've only scratched the surface here — please review our detailed guide to freight delivery so there are no surprises when a freight shipment heads your way.
For carriers that deliver without an appointment:
Carriers that deliver without an appointment don't require you to be home or set up a delivery window, and you aren't required to sign for the pallet(s). Instead of scheduling an appointment, arranging your schedule to be home for the delivery, and signing to confirm receipt, you can sit back and let your items come to you. If you're home at the time of the drop-off, you can request the driver place your delivery in the garage; if you're out of the house, the driver will leave it near the garage or doorstep.
