Primo

18 years ago

Ok I just have to post this I broke in my new Primo grill last week and it is the best grill / smoker I have ever used And I have used alot of different types...Pull pork had the best bark I have ever produced.Beef brisket tender and juicy. Steak seared to perfection medium rare. Seafood tuna steak also seared and medium rare.....The Temp control for this cooker is Unbelievible I smoked the pork and the brisket during a heavy rain and after 6 hrs the Temp never dropped a degree. No more getting up during the night checking temps for me....With the lump charcoal I can have the Temp up to 500 degrees within 15 min. and the ash produced with 12 pounds of lump would fit in the palms of my hands....The gas grill in going to the dump!!!!!! A few months ago I asked about the cookers on this site because I was going to start selling them at my store well now that I have used one I'm sold!!!!

Glad to hear the grill is working so great! You started a thread a few months ago and hey_starfish relied that they had a cracked grill. Did you get any feedback on if the problem got resolved? Do you have any experience with the customer service from Primo. I have it narrowed down to the Primo and The Grill Dome and am searching for recommendations. TIA

Primo Maxx is only sold by the gallon now. It is very expensive indeed. i have seen excellent results from it in the short time I've used it (2 apps). As I've said, it can be used as a stress conditioner. The color is darker green. Clippings are reduced (I do not reduce mowing interval significantly) and as a result, so is cut quality. The results are not subtle. That said, it is not a product one NEEDS. You can achieve great results without it obviously. But don't trust my word, do a search on lawnsite.com. FWIW, I bought 1 gal for $375 from the ebay seller below (now $300!!!). I got the impression that he had a box of 2 and I got one. You will NOT find it cheaper. You've got to pay to play as they say. Now if someone could get me a small quantity of Tenacity herbicide, I would be a happy man! Here is a link that might be useful: Ebay

You'd be better off contacting the manufacturer about this. Maybe your calibration solution is bad or incorrect?

Thank you for the input. After a lot of research I decided to go with the Grill Dome. I have read that they have wonderful customer service, an incredible product and it was nice to be able to talk with the owner himself when decided which size, color, etc. to buy. I did try to reach the Kamado people but they don't answer their phones or respond to their e-mails. Not a good sign when I'm inquiring about a purchase. Maybe they're quicker to respond to complaints, but I'm not taking a chance. Pat
