Thinking about upgrading my Akorn and getting a Primo XL (~$1200ish). Simple question, is it worth the investment?

Both?

Do you use them both at the same time a lot?

All top tier ceramics are well worth the money... I do not know one person who regrets their purchase. You might want to check into these though... they are on sale at Costco and the one time I looked at them, they looked really nice.

I've had one for a little over 2 years now and have zero complaints. Great cooks, holds temp like a champ and made in the USA

The oval shape gives more cooking area compared to BGE in the same price range. With the firebox divider, I can easily set it up to cook for a group (without divider) or for just me and my wife (with divider).

I had practically decided on a BGE before my contractor turned me on to Primo...after evaluating both, the Primo XL Oval made the most sense for me and my family.

I second that, I also looked at this one and it looks nice. Don't know about warranty specifics.

No brainer. Not considering another model.

Absolutely. People that say they are a "BGE" knockoff haven't a clue. Holds more food. I love it. And American made.

I have several times. sometimes I like to use different methods or temps for different things. Or one is tied up smoke for a day. Or I'm lazy and one is out of lump

Oh and get a BGE...








If you like having to cut those 3 pack of ribs in 1/2 or rolling them to fit. 0 > o
