Primo Oval Primer

There are various setup and usages options with the Primo Oval. Reversible grates, dividers, racks, reflector plate or plates etc etc.



I just got the reflector plates. I am anxious to try them out.

So far, I have tried a few combinations:
Divider in, fire on left, left grate Low, right grate High for chicken and veggies. 325*

Divider in, fire on left, left grate High, right grate High. Steak and veggies. 400*

Divider in, fire on left, left grate High, right grate High. Pork butt on right. 270*

Divider out, fire on on both sides, left grate High, right grate High. Steaks for family 325*

• How do you run your Primo and for what purpose? What works best for you?

• The guy at the local grill store (Metro Outdoor) said he lights a fire on both sides to start. Wouldn't this leave you with two separate fires of lump?

• So far, I have used Weber cubes to light one spot, except once. How do you load and light your Primo?

Thanks for your input!

I don't have a Primo but light my kamado with a hand held propane torch. It always burns from center outward. I light the edges in four spots 90 degrees from each other. 30 seconds in each spot. It always ends up being one fire.

Thanks for the feedback. Do you do this for high And low heat cooks? What's your target temp when you do this?
