Many restaurants use the intensity of direct grilling to seal in the juices to foods, then finish the cooking process over soft true indirect or convection grilling style.
Similarly, with Primo’s two-zone design, you’re not limited to just one cooking style. Using the divider plate, you can cook a steak with direct heat on one side and chicken with indirect heat on the other side.

Natural Lump Charcoal
Primo recommends using its Primo brand Natural Lump Charcoal for best results. Burning cleaner, hotter, and longer, natural lump charcoal produces less ash than briquette style charcoal. It’s also quick and easy to light–unlike charcoal briquettes that require patience–and is a renewable fuel source. Other natural lump charcoals are also fine to use in your Primo.

Primo 774 Ceramic Charcoal Smoker Grill, Oval Junior I love this grill. Most of my cooking is smoking and this thing does a wonderful job. I cooked a 12 lb. boston butt this weekend for 16 hrs. at 225 degrees and still had 1/3 of the lump charcoal left in the firebox. Super flavor and juicy. Best pulled pork I’ve ever had. Unit is pricey but no more than good gas grills “Weber”. And like I say “Very Efficient”. I Normally save the left over charcoal for use my chimney starter for the next cook then clean the ash out of the firebox…
Precision control My father decided I should have a big green egg, and wrote me a nice big check to buy it (Thanks!). But it turned out that his very generous donation wasn’t enough to cover the cost of a BGE, so I did a little research and found the Primo.The BGE is widely considered the premier ceramic grill, and I admit I was a little worried that I might be buying an inferior knock-off. But now that I’vs had the Primo for a while, it turns out I needn’t have worried. The Primo gives you great…
