Shop Primo by size
Every Primo uses the same thick ceramic body, a two-piece split cooking grate and dual vents for steady temperature from low and slow smoking to high-heat searing. Size is the main choice. Cooking areas below come from Primo, and the rack number is the extra space you add with the optional rack system.
| Model | Main grate | With optional racks | Best for | Grill only | All-In-One |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Oval Junior 200 | 210 sq. in. | 360 sq. in. | 2 to 4 people, patios, travel | $999 | $1,699 |
| Round | 280 sq. in. | Not listed | A classic round kamado on a cart | Not sold alone | $1,399 |
| Oval Large 300 | 300 sq. in. | 495 sq. in. | Families of 4 to 6 | $1,299 | $1,999 |
| Oval XL 400 | 400 sq. in. | 680 sq. in. | Regular cookouts, brisket and ribs | $1,699 | $2,299 |
| Oval XXL 500 | 500 sq. in. | 850 sq. in. | Big crowds and catering-size cooks | $2,199 | $2,599 |
Grill only means the ceramic cooker by itself, ready for a built-in island or a table. All-In-One means the cooker comes in a cradle with side shelves, so it is ready to use on a patio.
The Junior is the smallest oval, with 210 square inches on the main grate. It still has the two-zone oval firebox, so you can cook a steak hot on one side and keep vegetables warm on the other. At about 100 pounds it is also the size people pair with the GO portable carrier.
The Large 300 is the family size, with 300 square inches on the main grate and 495 with the optional racks. It handles a full rack of ribs, two chickens or burgers for six without crowding the fire.
The XL 400 is the most popular Primo. Its 400 square inch main grate grows to 680 with the optional racks, and the oval firebox gives you room for a whole brisket on one side with direct heat on the other. Most outdoor kitchen builds use this size.
The XXL 500 is the largest Primo, with 500 square inches on the main grate and 850 with the optional racks. It is built for big families, parties and anyone who smokes several pork butts at once.
Prefer a traditional round kamado? The Primo Round has 280 square inches on the main grate and comes as an All-In-One with a cradle and side shelves. It cooks like other round kamados, without the side-by-side zones of the ovals.

George Samaras founded Primo in 1996, and the company is now owned by Empire Comfort Systems. Primo says its ceramic cookers are manufactured in Poplar Bluff, Missouri, with headquarters in Belleville, Illinois. That makes Primo one of very few kamado brands built in the USA.

The Oval Junior 200 suits two to four people, the Large 300 a family of four to six, the XL 400 regular cookouts and brisket, and the XXL 500 big crowds. The XL 400 is the most popular size.
It is the most popular Primo, with a 400 square inch main grate and 680 square inches with the optional racks. The oval firebox lets you cook direct on one side and indirect on the other.
Yes. Set up an indirect zone with the heat deflectors or bank the coals on one side of the oval firebox, then hold a low temperature with the top and bottom vents for ribs, brisket and pork shoulder.
Grill Only is the ceramic cooker by itself, for a built-in island or a table. All-In-One comes in a steel cradle with side shelves, ready to use on a patio.
An oval firebox gives you two heat zones side by side and more room for long cuts like brisket and ribs. A round kamado cooks from one central fire.
Yes. Buy the Grill Only version and set it into an island built for a ceramic kamado. Follow the Primo installation guide for clearances.
