Will Primo ever make a larger grill?

I HATE anything made in China.   I really want to buy a Primo grill but they are so small compared to a Big Joe III.   Will they ever make a larger grill?

Primo's Oval XL has about the same cooking space as the Big Joe.

There is nothing small about the Primo Oval line.

 

Even my Oval Jr is really big for a Jr sized grill. Defiantly more usable space than any other Jr sized Kamado on the market.

Agreed. The Primo line has plenty of size options.  I have used my Oval JR as my daily driver for several years. Plenty of space. An Oval XL would be a monster and is equivalent if not larger than the Big Joe for usable space.

 

I know have 2 Primo's. A Oval JR and the Round (18").  Overall I am satisfied with the quality of Primo other than Firebox issues with my Junior which are not that big of deal and they have stood behind from a warranty standpoint.

 

Kamado Joe is probably the best bang for your buck but I agree I prefer Made in USA.  Just as devils advocate, I would recommend 2 smaller grills vs 1 Monster size grill. Either identical (2) 18" Rounds or (1) 18" Round and an Oval Junior or Oval Large. 

 

If you get the 18" round you have the benefit of all the accessories out there at that size, like Joetisserie, Kamado Joe divide and conquer etc.

I've got a Jr. and XL, happy with both and the combination of them.
