As mechanical engineer, it’s nice to see the behind the scenes of the manufacturing process. Thanks, George!

Great video guys. Mr. Samara, so proud to have purchased a komado from your company. My Primo Oval XL is such a pleasure to use. Have had for 8 years and I know it intimately and always look forward to using it. You are a fine American. Thank you for keeping production in USA.

Great job on a great product. My wife bought me a Primo LG 300 as a surprise 3 years ago and we love it!

I have had my Primo for years and still love it. Not a single issue other than the slightly warped cast iron firebox grate. I use it all the time for all temps.

Very nice video! Remarkable how everywhere I see Kamado Joe owners being loud about how much better it is than a BGE or Primo etc, wonder how many have seen this.

Thank you. More videos like this please

Mr. Samara, It was great to talk to you over the phone this week, thank you for this video. I am getting rid of my Kamado Joe in order to get a Primo XL Oval. I have had my KJ for 7 months and have had nothing but problems with it. I am buying Made in America thank you again for making the Primo here in America.

Is there any rotisserie out there that will fit the leg oval

I've had one of these for 10 yrs. It's the best by far

I've had both the Kamado Kamado round cooker and the Primo oval XL and can honestly say that the Primo is by far the better of those two. I highly recommend Primo.

Lots of info. Great video.

Great video!!!

Very impressive! Primo FTW

I’ve been using my primo XL for 10 years now and I absolutely love it and so due my friends um um👍🏻👍🏻🔥

Love it!

Very interesting..thank you

Have had a Primo XL Oval in AU for 8 years and it is the best. Am originally from Atlanta and it was a bit of home for proper Southern BBQ…. Amazes my Aussie friends.

I have had my XL Primo for 6 years and just love it. I would not buy any other brand.

Thank you ! This is why I don't trust any other Kamado grill companies grills ! My Primo Round Kamado 773 is 10 years old and still looking great and is the best investment for me . I recently updated the Control Tower kit ! It's well worth the cost and makes temperature settings much easier , looks good and keeps the water out . I still do the recommended clean burn and the grill comes out like the first day I got it ! Thank you for making the best products and also made in the USA . I wish I could help make them in your factory . Awesome experience and , Thank you for the tour of the assembly line . Primo Kamado grills are the best Kamado grills and I love mine . Peace out ! ✌️😎

So what temperature did you set on the oven for testing? Just curious.

I am also looking into the g420 but some of the reviews seem to think that the unit metal parts rust any upgrades to the metal used?

I love my primo and you guys stand by your product. We have to work on the cermanic and I do the down time.

Love my Primo Oval 300.

Awesome grills.

hi guys, I have a large round Primo 300 grill, when I'm doing burgers or small pieces of meat I'm having this issue with flames every time I open the lid as the charcoals become like a lake of fire and burn the meat very bad even if I close the lower air control completely, what I'm doing wrong, do I have to much charcoals inside the grill or what ???? thx a lot

Love my Xl Only thing i would change is the top vent cap time for an update, need to be able to keep your position after opening and keep the rain out Some aftermarket ones available but would be nice to buy direct

We are planning a 15lb brisket smoke on our Oval XL starting tonight at midnight. :-)

Yesterday i became MY Primo 400xl i am sooooo Happy 😍😍😍😍😍

I understand that George sold the company, the question I have is should I wait for upgrades to the unit or do I purchase the xl400 now. I was told by a retailer that the back hinge and grill grates are going to be changed.

LG300 owner, UK. Did my research, these are better than KJ, BGE, Monolith. I found a supplier here that put together a package with accessories and a table for a better price than the competition. I love it when BGE owners especially ask about Primo. I point to the stars and stripes... it's the home of BBQ, why would you buy one from Germany or Mexico!

Hi guys, i have a Primo large 300 and I'm happy with it, I'm thinking in the future to get a large oval but I'm cain of scare that this new ovals needs more charcoal loads than a regular or non oval oanes

Mr Samaras, When long ago i did research on this type of cooking , i spent hours and days researching which one to choose. After many years (10 i think) , It truly is an amazing grille and i have virtually have cooked just about everything imaginable in your vessel. I have educated many through the years about your grille and techniques i have picked up through the years and still to this day im as happy as the day we received this grille. Had some minor issues, but your excellent customer service has replaced the parts without hassle. Hopefully i will get another ! 10 years +++ out of it. Thank you for your great product and great video to see how mine was made . Go USA & PRIMO!! Regards, Rene Briones . Sarasota, Florida

I have no dog in this fight, but ive had a Big Joe for a few years now and use it regularly. Im fairly close to the ocean but havent had any issues with rusting with any hardware, although it is kept in a not-so-well sealed garage most of the time. it looks like a Joe that was partially melted, but ive had no issues with mine, and i do plenty of high temp grilling. the Joetisserie is an awesome accessory, also. There's a bunch more accessories that i still want. Great product in my opinion.

The one that melted :-) hilarious

I do too, had it for a decade now. That being said I would look hard at the Primo if I needed to replace my egg. So far the egg is flawless and has been disassembled and moved a few times. At the end of the day those of us who cook with ceramic kamodos share a common interest so I don’t knock any other brands unless they are truly terrible (like that melted vision).

Primo Grills needs to learn about customer service. It has been impossible to reach them to ask basic questions about their product. I tried your Face Book page. I tried emailing, leaving message through your website but weeks and months have passed without any responses. Komodo Joe company has answered all the questions I had. It’s not a confidence builder when a company does not respond to inquiries. Will the customer service be just as bad when you pay $1400 for a grill and need parts replacements?

Love this guy - I am buying a Primo because of this video. My neighbor has a Kamodo Joe - but its obvious the Primo is a higher quality.

Great video. BUT, when I did my research, I found issues, particularly with the warranty and customer support. Hope they get those issues resolved, because I would hope an American made product would be preferable to a foreign made product. My fear is that if those issues aren't resolved, they will go out of business and I'll have a grill with no way to get replacement parts. I made that mistake with my Bayou Classic ceramic grill, a very good product with outstanding customer support but sill went out of business. I won't make that mistake again. Do your research before you buy!

AMERICA FOR THE WIN!

Nice grills but just get a Weber Summit Kamado and don’t worry about ceramic failure. This guy reminds me a bit of Marcelo Bielsa. Great joke about the Costco warranty !

You do know that kilns typically reach over 2,000 degrees, right? Primo grills are great quality but I don’t think that’s a real life problem. The hottest these things will get is 700 degrees or so. That being said, I wouldn’t buy the one that melted.

@@turtlepowersf Not sure why you would have any anxiety about a Kamado Joe... unless you intend to stick it in a commercial firing kiln and try to melt it???? The kiln part of this video is good showmanship but not something that is an issue in real life. Have you seen a bunch of comments and videos about ceramic grills melting? I didn't think so.

@turtlepowersf

@@tvideo1189 not sure where you read I was suffering from anxiety from this video.....either way, it seems the Big Joe I paid top dollar for does not use the absolute best ceramic. Aside from the melting in the kiln, it COULD mean that the ceramic is more likely to crack or get damaged in some way under regular use. I already have a hairline crack in the fire ring that holds the firebox panels, maybe this would not have happened with the green egg. At the end of the day I'm still happy with my purchase, so no need for you to put words in my mouth.
