Primo Round All-In-One: a classic round charcoal grill that arrives assembled
The Primo Round All-In-One is a ceramic charcoal grill for someone who wants the classic round shape. A kamado is a charcoal grill with thick ceramic walls that hold heat and moisture, so one grill can sear, roast, bake, and smoke. Its 18.5 inch grate has 280 square inches of cooking space, enough for about ten burgers. The grill weighs 200 pounds. Primo is the only ceramic grill made in the USA, built by Empire Comfort Systems in Poplar Bluff, Missouri.
It cooks at temperatures from 151 to over 850 degrees. All-In-One means the grill arrives assembled on a rolling cradle with side tables, a grate lifter, and an ash tool. The cradle has locking wheels, and the tables fold down. Add the optional round ceramic heat deflector plate and rack to use it as an oven or smoker. The package selector also lets you choose the head alone, without the cradle, tables, or tools. Prefer an oval shape? See the Primo Oval Large All-In-One grill package. The Primo Round All-In-One ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.

FAQ
What is included with the Round All-In-One?
A fully assembled 18.5 inch round ceramic grill on a cradle with locking casters, plus fold-down side tables, a grate lifter and an ash tool. The spec sheet lists the round bundle as exactly those items; the firebox divider and deflector set that ship with the oval models are not part of it, so the round heat deflector rack and ceramic plate are offered on this page under Optional (Recommended).
How does it compare with the oval models?
This is Primo’s traditional kamado shape, which the brochure calls where kamado grills got their start, and it suits a round cutout in an existing table or island. Two-zone cooking on a round body means banking the coals to one side, since the cast iron firebox divider is an oval-only part, and the page lists no rack-system area, though an extension rack appears under Accessories.
How much can I cook at once?
The round cooking grid is 18.5 inches across, 280 square inches, and Primo rates it for four whole chickens, one whole turkey, six steaks, ten burgers, four racks of ribs or eight ears of corn. It is the heaviest of the smaller Primos at 200 pounds, which is why the cradle with casters is worth having.
What is the temperature range?
The page lists 151 F to over 850 F. Low temperatures come from a small fire and nearly closed vents; searing heat comes from a full firebox and open vents. Primo’s guide notes that a quarter-inch change at the top vent shifts the grill about 25 F, and that it is far easier to raise the temperature than to bring it back down.
How do I light it safely?
Mound natural lump charcoal in the firebox, light it with a fire starter cube, a chimney or an electric starter, and leave the dome open for five to ten minutes until embers form. Then close the dome and open the draft door and top vent fully. Never use lighter fluid or any combustible liquid; the ceramic absorbs it and taints food.
Can I buy the Round without the cradle?
Yes. Choose Kamado Only in the Change Pkg Configuration selector and the price drops to the grill head alone; the side tables, cradle, ash tool and grate lifter then leave the order, as the Includes tab explains. A built-in style cover is offered for that configuration. All Primo sizes are in the Primo grill category.
