Why The Primo Large Charcoal Is Worth The Investment

This isn't just a large kamado grill, it's built with Primo's patented oval shape and the biggest cooking area in the lineup at 300 sq. in., giving homeowners true dual-zone direct and indirect cooking capability alongside the capacity to cook for large gatherings, all with the option to expand further using the optional rack system.

The PGCLGC specifically addresses the needs of homeowners who regularly cook for larger groups and want the same true two-zone oval cooking as the Junior model, scaled up to handle significantly more food at once.

Maximum Capacity, Expandable Even Further. With 300 sq. in. of cooking area, capable of handling 6 whole chickens, 8 racks of ribs, or 12 burgers at once, this grill already outperforms the smaller models, and the optional rack system adds another 195 sq. in. of cooking space for even larger gatherings.

Built For High-Capacity, Versatile Cooking

The 300 sq. in. cooking area handles 6 whole chickens, 1 whole turkey, 8 steaks, 12 burgers, 8 racks of ribs, or 8 ears of corn at once

The patented oval shape allows true dual-zone direct/indirect cooking, letting you sear and slow-cook simultaneously

The optional rack system adds 195 sq. in. of additional cooking area for even larger cooking sessions

Engineered For Practical, Manageable Size

At 152 lbs., this large-capacity grill remains lighter than the smaller Round Charcoal model

Quality ceramic construction retains heat and moisture for consistent results across a wide temperature range

The 151°F to 850°F+ temperature range covers everything from gentle smoking to high-heat searing

Real Savings

The largest cooking area in the lineup reduces the need to cook in multiple batches for larger gatherings

The optional rack system avoids the cost of a second grill when extra capacity is occasionally needed

Ceramic heat retention improves fuel efficiency, using less charcoal than steel kamados over long cooks

Free shipping and no sales tax through Summit Forge Supply keeps the total cost down compared to buying elsewhere and paying tax and freight separately

The Bottom Line Homeowners who regularly cook for larger groups and want true dual-zone oval cooking can't get that combination of capacity and cooking flexibility from the smaller Junior or the round-shaped model. The Primo Large Charcoal is built with Primo's patented oval shape, the largest standard cooking area in the lineup, and an optional rack system for even more capacity, so it delivers serious cooking power for crowds without sacrificing dual-zone versatility. For anyone who regularly cooks for a crowd and wants true direct/indirect zone control, this is the grill built to feed them all.

Our Large Charcoal Primo is perfect for cooking large amounts of food and the patented oval shape offers superior cooking efficiency and accessibility. Grill, bake, roast or smoke any food.
