Primo Round Ceramic Kamado Grill - PGCRH

Our take on the Round Ceramic Kamado Grill

The Primo PGCRH is a round ceramic kamado grill built for charcoal cooking, with a 280 square inch cooking surface that holds and spreads heat steadily. Its lid sits high enough to fit whole birds, and the porcelain-coated grates are designed to be easy to keep clean. Airflow is managed through a six-position chimney cap, which includes a hood to shed rain, and a five-position lower vent door, so you can dial in low smoking temperatures or high heat for searing. A clear thermometer helps track the temperature as you go, and the lift-and-lock hinge makes raising the lid far less of a chore than on earlier models.

This grill suits anyone who wants a versatile charcoal setup for both slow smoking and hot grilling, and who values being able to cook outdoors in damp weather. Before buying, check that 280 square inches is enough room for the cooking you have in mind, and make sure you are comfortable working with charcoal. Because it is a built-in style grill, consider whether you plan to set it into an outdoor kitchen or use it freestanding.
