The Primo Story
When George Samaras completed his tour of duty as a pharmacist in the Greek military in 1986, he needed to find a career so he turned to his love of the sea. He began racing sailboats and captaining a yacht for tourist excursions throughout the Greek islands.
In 1988, he met his future wife Kelley, an American who was vacationing with her family and had chartered Samaras’ boat. George was taken with Kelley and they stayed in touch after she returned home. She eventually moved to Greece and later the two were married. Seven years later, the couple decided to move to the United States.
George’s father­in-law had a Kamado cooker and on Thanksgiving Day, George had roasted turkey for the first time. He was amazed at the juiciness and delicious flavor of the bird that was cooked on the kamado. It looked and performed unlike any grill he had ever used.
He bought a kamado for himself and cooked on it regularly. He told his friends and family about it and began shipping them back to Greece for them to use. Eventually George had over 80 people in his homeland that wanted a kamado, so he asked the manufacturer if he could start a distributorship in Greece, but they declined.
Not to be deterred, George saw a niche in the market and decided that he would make his own kamado cookers. He was told by many people, including ceramic engineers, that it couldn’t be done, but he pressed on and spent the next several years developing and testing his own formula for the refractory material to get the right blend.
In 1996, he was ready to sell his ceramic grills. Samaras chose the name, “Primo” which means “the best” in Italian. His first manufacturing facility was a 700 sq. ft. space he rented. Due to the limited space he could only make two grills at a time and he had to drive across town to a kiln to have them fired.
Over the next several years, Primo’s kamado style grill grew in popularity as word spread
about their quality and as the only ceramic
grill made in the United States.
Samaras has a love for improving
his ceramic grills and innovative
products and in 2000
he introduced the
Primo 2000, a combination gas
and ceramic grill.
His idea was to use the superior
heat and moisture retention
characteristics of a ceramic grill
and the convenience of gas as a
heat source that so many outdoor
cookers prefer.
It was an unrivaled product never
before seen in the industry, and over 700 were sold. Production
was discontinued a few years later
due to the shipping and assembly
requirements.
George was also looking beyond the round shape of the traditional kamado and discovered that an oval-shape oered a much higher cooking versatility and eciency. It forever changed the direction of Primo.
The introduction of the patented oval-shaped grill in 2002 established Primo as a major manufacturer in the ceramic grill market.
Today, Primo is headquartered in a 92,000 sq. ft. facility in Tucker, Georgia where their ceramic grills are produced. Primo is available in more than 27 countries around the world.
The Primo Advantage
Proudly Made in the USA
4 out of 5 Americans prefer products made in the USA.*
Primo is the only ceramic grill made in America. We use domestic raw materials, and the firing and assembly all take place at our headquarters in Tucker, Georgia. We are extremely proud of the American ingenuity and quality craftsmanship in each of our ceramic grills.
Surprisingly, virtually all major ceramic grill companies source their grills from foreign companies. They have little or no quality
control of the manufacturing process.
Patented Oval Design
The unique patented oval shape delivers the highest cooking flexibility and eciency of any other ceramic grill. Get true two-zone direct and indirect simultaneous cooking on each side of your grill. Grill steaks on the direct side and roast vegetables on the indirect side.
The oval shape also creates an extremely ecient cooking area with easier accessibly to your food. It accommodates more food like steaks, sausages, large roasts, ribs and whole chickens. Grill, bake, roast or smoke more food at one time.
Best-In-Category Limited Lifetime Warranty Backed by a 20-Year Guarantee
Primo is the only ceramic grill company to oer a Limited Lifetime Warranty backed by a 20­Year Guarantee. Surprisingly, a “lifetime warranty” is defined by each state, not the company oering it. Some states determine that a lifetime warranty can be as little as a few years. Our limited lifetime warranty with a 20-year guarantee assures you that your new grill is covered for many years of use and enjoyment.
* Consumer Reports magazine February 2013
The Primo Advantage
Amazing Flavor
The combination of our premium-grade ceramics and Primo Natural Lump Charcoal creates amazingly juicy food with true charcoal flavor. The ceramic shell helps food retain its natural moisture, unlike metal grills that pull the moisture out. Our charcoal is made from American hardwoods and infuses your food with a distinctively mild smoky flavor.
Exceptional Temperature Control
Cook as low as 150°F to smoke a salmon or to well over 850°F for sizzling ribeyes. Or cook “low and slow” for multiple hours to enjoy a succulent leg of lamb or tender pulled pork.
Lights Easily & Heats Quickly
You can be ready to cook in as little as 15 minutes; the same time it takes to preheat a gas grill. Another great feature of our Natural Lump Charcoal is that it can be relit for multiple cookings.
Low Maintenance & Self Cleaning
Primo ceramic grills practically take care of themselves. Periodic inspections ensure that your grill will perform and look great for years. Our grills also work like a self-cleaning oven.
Weather Resistant
Primo ceramic grills are made to live outdoors. Our premium-grade ceramics, glazes and hardware are made to withstand extreme climates. Depend on Primo Ceramic Grills wherever you live.
Premium-Grade Ceramics
Primo ceramic grills are composed of a proprietary blend of natural materials to make the highest grade of ceramics available for superior heat and moisture retention. Combined with quality-controlled production processes and an unmatched firing temperature, our ceramics are significantly more ecient than other ceramic grills. Use less fuel, reach your desired temperature faster and reduce your cooking time with Primo.
Primo Versatility
The Primo Patented Oval Design
The One. The Only. True Oval. The Primo Oval oers true two-zone simultaneous direct and indirect cooking. That’s a fancy way of saying that you get two very distinct cooking zones. Almost like using a grill and an oven at the same time. Grill steaks on the direct side and roast seafood or vegetables on the indirect side. No round grill oers so much cooking versatility.
The Reversible Cooking Grid, Heat Deflector Plates, Extension Racks, and other accessories allow you to create more than 69 dierent cooking configurations. No other grill oers so much versatility.
Grill, bake, roast or smoke any food with Primo.
Popular Cooking Configurations
Grill mouthwatering steaks, bake authentic wood-fired pizza, roast a turkey, or smoke a beef brisket to tender perfection. Any food and recipe can be cooked on a Primo. The possibilities are endless.
Cool air is drawn into the bottom vent, then heated by the charcoal. The heated air convects around the food before exiting the top vent. The ceramic shell retains more heat than metal grills, and helps food retain more of its moisture than conventional grills.
A Primo Grill allows you to grill, bake, roast, smoke, sear, braise, sauté, barbecue, carmelize, flambé, broil, fricassee, pan-fry, baste, parboil, boil, poach, scallop, simmer, stew, stir-fry, and more.
