Easy. When I was in the market for a charcoal grill, but perhaps also a pizza oven & a new smoker, I think I asked here for recommendations, as well as in a cooking group I run on Facebook.
A member (now friend ) mentioned a used Primo XL that she was trying to get rid of FOR FREE, as she hadn’t used it since her partner died 5 years ago.
Transportation was a bit of a bitch, but how do you say ‘no’ to a free grill? I also checked out a few youtube videos where the BGE goes up against the Primo, and peeps seemed to like the Primo better.
The main difference seems to be more ease for low and slow roasting / smoking, as it apparently makes it easier when you two different heat zones in an oval vs. a circle.
I’m a total newb myself, still haven’t gotten to playing around with it. The size is kinda ludicrous for just the two of us, but it’ll come in handy if we ever need to roast 2 turkeys at once, or 4 chickens, or grill 20 (?) burgers for a crowd
