Primo All-In-One Oval 2XL 500 – Ceramic Kamado Grill with Two-Zone Control
500 in² of patented oval two-zone cooking — cradle, shelves, and tools included, ready to fire from day one.
The Primo All-In-One Oval 2XL 500 is what you get when you want the full kamado experience without the parts hunt. The patented oval shape is the real story here — it's the only design that gives you a genuine direct and indirect zone at the same time, so you can sear over high heat on one side while a roast finishes low-and-slow on the other, all in a single uninterrupted cook. Five hundred square inches of split, reversible stainless steel grating holds a serious spread, and the thick ceramic walls hold heat so steadily you can set your vents, walk away, and come back to exactly the temperature you left. The Air Lift Hinge takes the effort out of opening a 282 lb. grill, and the whole setup ships as a complete package — cradle, side shelves, ash tool, and grid lifter included. Built by hand in Georgia, backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty.

Deep Dive — Primo All-In-One Oval 2XL 500►
Configurations & Fuel Options
Arriving as an All-In-One freestanding setup, this grill runs on natural charcoal for wood-fired flavor. Compatible accessories (sold separately) support heat deflection, racks, and rotisserie-style workflows to tailor your ceramic kamado grill to any cooking style.
Thick Ceramic Construction for Even, Moist Heat
Engineered with premium ceramic, the Oval 2XL retains heat and moisture for tender roasts and deep sears. The dome and base stabilize temperatures across long cooks, while the oval profile improves airflow for consistent, edge-to-edge results.
Precision Airflow & Effortless Handling
Top and bottom 5-position vents fine-tune temperatures from smoking to high-heat grilling. An air-lift hinge lightens dome movement for smooth, one-handed operation, and stainless steel cooking grates provide durability and easy maintenance.
Who It's For — The Deck & Den Take►
If you've been looking at the Primo Round All-In-One and wondering whether the extra size is worth it — for most people who entertain more than occasionally, it is. This grill gives you everything the Round package does (cradle, shelves, tools, ready day one) and nearly doubles the cooking surface to 500 in², with the added advantage of the patented oval two-zone setup. That oval shape is the real differentiator: it's not a workaround or an accessory trick — it's genuinely the best way to run direct and indirect cooking simultaneously in a kamado format.
If you're a solo cook or a couple who grills a few nights a week and rarely cooks for a crowd, the Round All-In-One is the smarter buy — you'll save money and the 280 in² will serve you well. But if you find yourself regularly feeding 6 or more people, or you want to run multiple proteins at different temperatures at the same time, the 2XL earns its footprint.
One practical note: at 282 lb., plan where this grill is going before it arrives. The rolling cradle makes it movable, but you're not repositioning it casually once it's on the patio.
- All-In-One Package: Cradle, shelves, ash tool, and grid lifter included for immediate grilling.
- 500 in² Cooking Surface: Room to grill, roast, and smoke for family dinners and parties.
- Patented Oval Design: True two-zone cooking for sear-and-smoke flexibility.
- Top & Bottom Venting: 5-position airflow control for precise temperatures.
- Air-Lift Hinge: Easy, one-handed dome operation during long cooks.
- Durable Ceramic & Steel: Thick ceramic body with stainless steel grates for lasting performance.
- Made in the USA: Built in Georgia, backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions►
What is the cooking area of the Primo All-In-One Oval 2XL 500? ►
The Primo All-In-One Oval 2XL 500 (Model PGCXXLC) provides 500 in² of primary cooking surface. Additional cooking capacity is available through compatible rack accessories, sold separately.
What fuel does this grill use? ►
The Primo Oval 2XL 500 runs on charcoal. Natural lump charcoal is recommended for best results — it reaches higher temperatures, produces less ash, and delivers the wood-fired flavor the ceramic design is built around. It is not compatible with gas or propane.
What exactly is included in the All-In-One package? ►
The All-In-One package includes the Primo Oval 2XL 500 ceramic kamado grill, a rolling cradle, side shelves, ash tool, and grid lifter. Split/reversible stainless steel cooking grates and the air-lift hinge are also included. Everything needed to set up and cook on day one.
What are the dimensions and weight of the Primo Oval 2XL 500 All-In-One? ►
The grill measures 30.5" wide × 24.5" deep and weighs 282 lb. Overall height with the cradle is Not specified in Primo's current official product specifications.
Does the oval shape actually enable two-zone cooking, or do I need accessories? ►
The patented oval shape enables genuine two-zone cooking without any accessories. The elongated footprint allows you to maintain a direct heat zone and an indirect zone simultaneously in the same cook. This is a core design advantage over round kamado grills, which require a heat deflector or accessory to achieve similar results.
How do I control the temperature? ►
Temperature is managed through two 5-position vent sliders — one at the top of the chimney and one at the bottom of the grill. Adjusting both in combination lets you dial in precise temperatures across the full cooking range, from low-and-slow smoking to high-heat searing.
What is the air-lift hinge? ►
The air-lift hinge is a counterbalanced mechanism that significantly reduces the force needed to open the ceramic dome. On a 282 lb. grill, this makes a real practical difference — the dome opens smoothly with one hand, without the strain or abrupt movement you'd get on a standard hinge.
Where is this grill made, and what warranty does it carry? ►
The Primo Oval 2XL 500 is built in Georgia, USA. It is backed by Primo's Limited Lifetime Warranty, honored directly by the manufacturer.
How does the Primo Oval 2XL All-In-One compare to the Primo Round All-In-One? ►
Both are complete All-In-One packages with the same cradle, shelves, and tools included. The key differences are cooking surface and shape. The Round All-In-One offers 280 in² in a classic symmetrical design — great for 2–5 people. The Oval 2XL 500 nearly doubles that to 500 in² and adds the patented oval two-zone advantage, letting you run direct and indirect cooking simultaneously without any accessories. If you regularly cook for larger groups or want built-in two-zone flexibility, the Oval 2XL is the right upgrade.
How does the Primo Oval 2XL All-In-One compare to the Primo Oval XXL 500 grill head? ►
Both models share the same 500 in² oval cooking surface. The difference is configuration: the Oval XXL 500 (PGCXXLH) is a grill head only — no cradle or support included — while the Oval 2XL All-In-One (PGCXXLC) ships with a rolling cradle, side shelves, ash tool, and grid lifter as a complete freestanding setup. If you have a built-in cart, island, or table, the grill head may work. If you want a self-contained unit ready to roll out and cook from, the All-In-One is the complete package.
Are there compatible accessories available for the Primo Oval 2XL 500? ►
Yes. A range of compatible accessories are sold separately, including heat deflectors for indirect cooking, rack systems for expanded cooking capacity, and rotisserie-style accessories. These expand the grill's versatility beyond the out-of-box configuration.
Does Deck & Den offer free shipping on the Primo Oval 2XL 500 All-In-One? ►
Yes, this item ships free. Deck & Den is an authorized Primo dealer, so your purchase is fully covered by Primo's Limited Lifetime Warranty honored directly by Primo. For full details, visit our shipping policy page.
