What's the maiden meal? Turkey burgers?

 

I'm thinking pork shoulder or spare ribs with baked beans.

I looked at both in person. The type of cooking I do the most involves 2-zones for indirect cooking. The primo achieves that thanks to its oval shape. Whereas traditional Kamados are round surface area to cook on. The lid is also higher and the grates can be flipped over to create even more room and get an even hotter sear on food because it sits closer to the coals. The grill is perfect for reverse searing steaks. The primo also seemed less cheap. Only time will tell I guess.

Those things are incredible. A bit out of my price range though.

 

[JayT]

I'm confused, I don't think you told me why its better than my Egg.

 

[t0mato]

You told me to tell you about it.........so I did.

 

[JayT]

I told you to tell me why its better.  I think the boss started this.

Ok, I get it now, but I bought the XL Egg  with all the accessories, so I can pretty much do what I want with mine.

 

[t0mato]

The xl has tons of room lol.

I got the smallest oval grill that primo offers.

There's nothing really wrong with the egg. My grandfather had an egg from the 70's and that thing was amazing.

 

[JayT]

Ok, I figured it was just the boss messing with me anyway.  Grill away my brother!

 

[The Hot Pepper]

LOL I have neither so there. If you can cook good food on it, why even worry about what others say? I was messin with Jay... but I have heard that the egg is more weekend warrior and the Primo does more.

You do the same sir. I expect to see more flog posts. .

Btw. How do you blacken catfish? Oil or butter?

 

[MikeUSMC]

Got the Primo BBQ ordered.

Can't wait to see the maiden cook, 'Mater! Did you get the stand with the egg, or the custom table it sits in......or? (your link just showed the egg itself) Is it just gonna sit on the ground in your driveway? Lol

 

[t0mato]

Nah I bought their wooden cart to put it on. BBQ guys gave me an electric lighter that I'll probably never use because I'm not going to string an extension cord out to the yard.

One of these days I'll wind up just making my own cart to store it in.

Dammit it's not an Egg it's a Primo! That's like calling his Ferrari a Hyundai!
