Pros
- The most cooking area on the page: 300 sq in, against 262 for the Large EGG and 250 for the Classic Joe
- The oval lets you bank coals on one side and cook indirect on the other without a deflector
- Primo publishes two templates — with and without the hinge notch — so the lip can sit lower in the counter
- Primo's manual allows a wooden table with the grill on its ceramic feet, where the others say non-combustible
Cons
- The Amazon owner base is not this head's: the visible cards review the Oval Junior and the XL, and the newest review is from August 2022
- The critical tail is freight — 'Two Broken Grills', 'they cannot deliver without breaking' — and a 2019 owner paid $250 shipping on a warranty ceramic
- Sold on Amazon by 247Grills of Dothan, Alabama, at 75% positive feedback on 12 ratings; we could not confirm it on Primo's dealer locator
- Gaskets and thermometer carry 30 days, and the heat deflector costs extra
- No credentialed outlet has tested the LG; the one Primo test we found is of the XL
Freight and the warranty bill: 'Two Broken Grills', 'The grill may be great, but they cannot deliver without breaking', a buyer whose Amazon-sold unit arrived broken twice; and a 2019 owner whose ceramic base separated after two years — 'Primo charged me $250 shipping for ceramic upper and lower pieces.' A 2020 Junior owner adds a handle that gets very hot and ash that has to come out past the fire grate.
