Greetings
If you‘re at all like me or the many Primo-istas I‘ve met in the last year,
your new grill is going to change your life; or at least the hours of your
life that you spend at the grill!
Let me tell you right off the bat that I‘m an odd choice to be writing this
introduction. I‘m not associated with the company, I don‘t know the
difference between North Carolina and Kansas City barbecue, and until
very recently I thought of grilling as strictly a ―guy thing,‖ like
understanding fantasy football or not asking for directions.
Primo® changed all that. It isn‘t just the look and feel of the thing,
although the simple lines and the heavy ceramic heft have grown on
me, like a piece of art that is both prosaic and exotic. I love introducing
my friends to the Primo® by having them just lift the dome – all that
weight in your hand, yet balanced and manageable because of the
clever engineering of the hinge – then let it close, and the dome stops
with a satisfying thump, decisive and secure, on the felt gasket. Right
away the serious heft of the Primo® lets you know you‘ve left the land
of ―Webers‖ far behind.
But I‘m not a Primo fan because it looks good. I‘m a fan because Primo
makes me look good. Even for a grill novice like me, the Primo method
of grilling/smoking makes it easy to cook everything from perfectly flash
-seared tuna to 20-hour low & slow genuine barbecue, succulent,
smoky and falling-off-the-bone tender. I‘ve always been a serious chef
inside my kitchen; Primo lets me take my culinary adventures outdoors
and it has become my partner-in-creation, inspiring me to try everything
from grilled pizza to cold-smoked cheese; from sour dough bread to (I
kid you not) fried eggs for breakfast. Why stop with burgers when the
Primo beckons me to ever new possibilities? It is a cooking phenom!
And then there‘s the big secret that Primo has let me in on after all
those years: Grilling and smoking isn‘t hard (so much for the ―mystery
on the deck!‖); in fact, it‘s really fun. Perhaps this is why I‘ve become
such a Primo fan. It‘s just fun to use.
In this over-hyped world, where gizmos and gadgets are hawked 24/7,
it‘s rare to come across a product, and a company, that is actually
better than it claims to be. The guys at Primo have made an amazing
product. They stand behind it with integrity, and with pride. Get to know
your Primo, and you‘ll understand why.
Happy Grilling!

Kamado History
T
he modern kamado-style grill is based on
ancient Japanese technology used over 2000
years ago. Originally composed of clay, the
kamado was typically built into the earth floor
of pit homes—small houses built into the
ground.
By the early 1600‖s advancements in the
kamado design and function included high-
end, portable kamados which attracted the attention of those in the elite
and urban communities, and soon became common-place in their
households.
By literal translation, the word ―kamado‖ in Japanese means ―oven‖,
―stove‖, or ―kitchen‖. But it represents more than just perfection in
functional design and exquisite, flavorful food. Historically, the kamado
was and still is a symbol of family and home.
The Primo Advantage
P
rimo combines the concept of traditional kamado-style (round)
cookers, and charcoal grills with an innovative design, premium quality
ceramic materials, and a sophisticated, modern look, creating a best in
class, all-in -one cooking machine. What makes a Primo better than
other ceramic grills and smokers on the market today? The key is in the
composition and patented oval shape.
Ceramic Composition. Primo uses only the highest quality ceramic for
increased efficiency and durability. Meals prepare faster while moisture
and flavor remain locked inside, leaving food juicy and tender, not dry.
And the outer surface stays at a safe, warm-to-the-touch temperature.
Oval Shape. But it‘s the versatility of our patented Primo Oval™ shape
that really sets us apart. Enjoy more features and options such as
reversible cooking grids, rack extensions* to increase total cooking
surface, or a drip pan rack* to catch meat juices. Add a firebox divider*
and cook directly over the heat on one side and smoke on the other.
We hope you enjoy your new Primo. Bon appétit!
