Whether you’re smoking, grilling, or baking, this ceramic powerhouse offers unrivaled heat retention, ensuring that your food comes out perfectly every time.
Now, you might be wondering, “What can I actually cook on this thing?” Well, buckle up, because we’re about to dive into some jaw-dropping recipes that make the most of the Kamado-style cooking Primo is known for. No need to sell you on this grill—once you try these dishes, you’ll be hooked!
1. Smoke & Sear Ribs: Flavor You Can’t Forget
There’s something special about cooking ribs on a Kamado grill—thanks to the Primo’s unbeatable heat retention, you get a perfect balance of smoke and sear that’s hard to match. The ceramic design locks in heat and moisture, creating an unbelievably tender, flavorful rib that falls right off the bone.
Ingredients:
2 racks baby back ribs
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tbsp paprika
2 tbsp black pepper
1 tbsp salt
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp onion powder
1 tsp cayenne pepper
Apple cider vinegar (for spritzing)
BBQ sauce (optional)
Instructions:
Preheat your Primo Grill to 225°F, setting it up for indirect heat.
Mix together the brown sugar, paprika, pepper, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne to create a flavorful dry rub.
Remove the silver skin from the ribs and coat them generously with the rub.
Place the ribs on the grill bone-side down, close the lid, and let the smoke work its magic. Every 45 minutes, spritz with apple cider vinegar to keep them moist and enhance that smoky flavor.
After about 4 hours, flip the ribs and brush them with BBQ sauce (if desired). Let them cook for another 30 minutes to allow the sauce to set.
Remove from the grill, let them rest for a few minutes, and then slice into mouth-watering ribs.
This isn’t just any BBQ—this is a Primo-worthy feast!
2. Kamado Grilled Pizza: Outdoor Cooking at Its Best
Who needs a pizza oven when you’ve got a Primo? The Kamado-style design creates the perfect pizza cooking environment, with high heat that cooks the crust to crispy perfection while keeping the cheese bubbly and delicious.
Ingredients:
1 ball pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
Olive oil
1/2 cup marinara sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Fresh basil
Your favorite pizza toppings (pepperoni, mushrooms, veggies, etc.)
Instructions:
Preheat your Primo Grill to 500°F. You want it nice and hot, just like a wood-fired pizza oven.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness, and brush with a little olive oil to prevent sticking.
Place the dough on the grill for about 2 minutes to crisp up the bottom. Then, flip it and top with sauce, mozzarella, and your favorite toppings.
Close the lid, and cook for about 5-7 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
Top with fresh basil and slice it up. Pizza perfection, straight from your Kamado grill!
Who knew your grill could cook pizza like a pro?
3. Perfectly Grilled Whole Chicken: Juicy, Crispy, and Oh-So-Tasty
If you want crispy skin, juicy meat, and that “wow” factor, a whole chicken on the Primo Grill is an absolute game-changer. The Kamado-style grill locks in the moisture while crisping up the skin for that picture-perfect roast chicken.
Ingredients:
1 whole chicken (about 4-5 lbs)
2 tbsp olive oil
1 lemon (cut in half)
4 cloves garlic (crushed)
Fresh thyme or rosemary (a few sprigs)
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Preheat your Primo Grill to 375°F, setting it up for indirect heat.
Rub the whole chicken with olive oil, making sure to coat it well. Season with salt and pepper.
Stuff the chicken with the lemon halves, crushed garlic, and herbs.
Place the chicken on the grill, breast-side up, and cook for about 1.5 to 2 hours, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
For an extra crispy skin, open up the vents for the last 15 minutes of cooking.
Remove the chicken, let it rest for 10 minutes, then carve and serve.
Juicy, smoky, and absolutely irresistible.
4. Grilled Veggies: Flavor-Packed & Simple
Grilled veggies on the Primo? Yes, please! The heat from the ceramic grill enhances the natural sweetness of veggies, making them tender with a nice smoky flavor. Whether you’re grilling zucchini, peppers, or asparagus, your Kamado grill is your secret weapon for perfectly cooked vegetables.
Ingredients:
1 zucchini (sliced into rounds)
1 red bell pepper (cut into chunks)
1 red onion (cut into chunks)
Olive oil
Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning
Instructions:
Preheat your Primo Grill to medium heat (about 350°F).
Toss the veggies in olive oil and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
Place the veggies on the grill and cook for about 4–6 minutes per side, until they’re tender and slightly charred.
