American-Made Oval Ceramic Kamado Grills

Yes — Primo Ceramic Grills has been manufacturing kamado grills in the United States since 1996. Every Primo grill is handcrafted from premium-grade ceramic in their American facility. Primo is one of the only kamado grill brands that manufactures domestically, which is a significant differentiator in a market dominated by imported ceramic grills.

Primo offers a Limited Lifetime warranty on all ceramic parts, backed by a 20-year guarantee — this covers the ceramic body, lid, firebox, and all ceramic components for the lifetime of the original purchaser. All metal parts (excluding cast iron) are warranted for five years. Cast iron parts are warranted for one year. Thermometers and felt gaskets are warranted for 30 days. As an authorized Primo dealer, Living Outdoorsy provides the full manufacturer warranty on every Primo product we sell.

Primo's patented oval design delivers two advantages over traditional round kamado grills. First, the oval shape increases usable cooking surface by approximately 30% compared to a round grill with the same exterior footprint. Second — and more importantly — the oval creates two distinct cooking zones side by side on the same grill. You can sear steaks over direct flame on one side while smoking ribs at low temperature on the other side, simultaneously, in a single cook. With a round kamado, you are limited to one cooking zone at a time unless you add accessories. The oval shape also accommodates long cuts like full rib racks and whole briskets that do not fit easily in a round grill.

Primo offers four oval sizes to match different needs. The Oval Junior (200 sq in, starting at $1,099) is perfect for 2–4 people, tailgating, camping, or small patios. The Oval Large (300 sq in, starting at $1,299) fits families of 5–10 and works well in standard outdoor kitchens. The Oval X-Large (400 sq in, starting at $1,799) is Primo's most popular size — it grills up to 19 burgers at once and handles serious smoking sessions. The Oval XX-Large (500 sq in, starting at $2,199) is the competition and entertaining powerhouse — it can cook three 12-pound turkeys vertically. Each size is available as a built-in head for outdoor kitchens or as a complete freestanding all-in-one package.

Yes — every Primo oval grill is available as a head-only unit specifically designed for built-in outdoor kitchen installation. The head unit drops into a countertop cutout and integrates cleanly with your outdoor kitchen island or surround. Primo provides detailed cutout dimensions and clearance specifications for each grill size. For customers who prefer freestanding setups, Primo offers all-in-one packages with heavy-duty stands and side shelves, cart bases with storage baskets, and cypress wood tables that give the grill a furniture-quality presentation.

Primo ceramic grills are true multi-purpose outdoor cookers. You can grill (direct flame for steaks, burgers, chicken), smoke (low-and-slow for brisket, pulled pork, ribs), roast (indirect heat for whole chickens, turkeys, prime rib), and bake (pizza with a pizza stone, bread, casseroles). The ceramic body holds temperature for hours on minimal charcoal and retains moisture better than metal grills, producing juicier results. With Primo's oval dual-zone design, you can even run direct and indirect cooking simultaneously — sear a steak on the hot side while smoking vegetables on the cool side in the same cook.
