Frequently Asked Questions 

 

Do I need to clean the interior walls of the Primo®? 

No. You don’t need to clean the interior walls of the Primo®...nor the 
inside. It is best to simply clean the cooking grates and remove the 
ashes only. You may clean the exterior glaze surface with warm water 
and regular dishwashing soap. 
 

Can I use the Primo® on a wood deck? 

Yes. If you plan to put your Primo® on a wood deck, table or outdoor 
kitchen, use the ceramic shoes provided with the grill. Be sure to follow 
the grills clearance guidelines. Visit www.primogrill.com for updates on 
building your unit into an outdoor kitchen. 
 

How do I remove the Ash? 

Very easily. Open the bottom vent and use your Primo® ash tool (sold 
separately) to rake out the remaining ashes. Do not remove the firebox 
or the ceramic plate. By using natural lump charcoal you will need to 
empty the ashes probably every 8-10 uses. A high build up of ash will 
reduce airflow to the coal, making it more difficult to heat properly. 
 

My Primo® has tiny cracks. Should I be concerned? 

No. These tiny cracks (or crazing) are normal and will not compromise 
the grills durability or performance. However, if chunks of ceramic break 
off, contact Primo®. 

Note: 

We do not use lead in our glaze mix; you 

benefit from a manufacturer who cares about your health and the envi-
ronment.
