Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I researched the Kamado grills extensively before purchasing the large Primo model. Although this grill cooks pretty well, it's the small details that make it frustrating to use.
- the hinge is cheap so lifting the heavy top while holding a plate of meat in one hand is quite difficult. At this price point, I would have expected a good-quality hinge designed to ease lifting and support the lid.
- when you open and close the lid, the vent on top moves so you need to remember to fix it each time - otherwise you may come back to discover the temperature has dropped dramatically.
- the vent at the base is a very thin, cheap piece of metal that does not slide easily. It takes two hands to push it open and close.
- both the grill and the lid are lined around the edge with a fabric material. The first time I used the grill, this trim began to peel. Now I have to source out a new material and have it replaced. Again, at this price point, I would not expect this.
- cleaning is difficult!! It is a total mess to clean out the coals... Even a cheap Weber has this figured out.
- Lighting the coals and creating an even cooking surface takes practice but can be achieved. However, there is no way to create warmer and cooler sections so I have to fabricate a metal divider for the coals. Shouldn't this be included like it is for the XL Primo?
-the stand is so cheap and completely detracts from the design of the grill. There are much better options available for the XL.
