Primo Ceramic Grills is a distinguished manufacturer known for its commitment to innovation and manufacturing its products in the United States.

The foundation of the Primo brand is its patented oval-shaped ceramic grill. This unique design was born from the founder's pursuit of a superior product, as he discovered the oval shape offers significantly greater cooking versatility and efficiency than traditional round ceramic grills. This cornerstone product established Primo as a major player in the market.

Today, Primo Ceramic Grills is owned by Empire Comfort Systems, a fourth-generation, family-owned business. Empire is dedicated to upholding the high quality and reputation Primo established. They continue to invest in product improvements and an expanding range of accessories, ensuring Primo remains a leader in the ceramic grilling experience.

Primo Oval Design

Primo's patented oval shape is a unique design that provides greater cooking versatility and efficiency than traditional round ceramic grills. The design creates two distinct cooking zones, enabling you to use the grill like a grill and an oven at the same time. You can grill steaks on one side of the grill while roasting vegetables on the other. Primo Ceramic Grills can be used as a grill, an oven, a roaster, or a smoker.

Two-Zone Cooking

The oval shape and the included firebox divider allow you to easily create two different cooking zones. You can grill at high temperatures on one side and cook low and slow on the other side. This allows for grilling, roasting, and smoking at the same time.

Reversible Cooking Grids

Primo's reversible cooking grids, heat deflector plates, and other accessories allow you to create more than 69 cooking configurations.

Maximum Efficiency

The ceramic body of the grill works as an insulator, retaining heat and moisture better than metal grills. This efficiency allows you to use less fuel, reach your target temperature faster, and reduce cooking time.

Built for Versatility

Primo ceramic grills can be used as a grill, an oven, a roaster, and a smoker. You can cook a wide variety of foods, from searing steaks to baking pizza, roasting a turkey, or smoking a beef brisket.
