First Low & Slow Primo XL Oval Smoked Ribs | Double Indirect Test

The Oval Primo Shape Smoked 6 racks of St. Louis Pork Ribs... BUT How Did They Turn Out? I am adapting my double indirect method for the Primo XL Oval Kamado originally developed for round grills to see if and how the oval shape comes into play for longer cuts of meat like these 6 racks of St. Louis ribs.

Good morning James ,I have the Primo XL and I love it ! My wife and our daughters got me this for father's last year. It was not cheap but with the Cyprus table and the cover ,it was under $2000.00 dollars U.S ! Last Sunday I cooked a 9 pound Boston Butt using just Texas style salt and pepper rub and it turned out amazing !!!

[@loudogg000]

Let me add to the slew of comments to keep the Primo content coming! I am about to get one and there’s not nearly enough content out there for the Primo. I hope you change that!

[@christopherpuleo]

So glad you're finally trying out one of these Primos! It'll be fun to see what your long term thoughts are.

[@guitarchitectural]

This may not apply to ribs but im curious - you cook so much, do you have a system or method for storage? Id like to better balance out my production so as not to have to eat pulled pork for a week every time i make it, but ziploc bags only take us so far. I'm guessing you must use a vac sealer but id love to know your method/process if you have one!

[@Ian-jy7mt]

James, if you had to pick an oval primo or round KJ classic III as a new Kamado, which would you go with? The kj looks amazing but that red color clashes with our kitchen!

[@surfingonmars8979]

I had a Primo XL and loved it. The oval shape makes such a wonderful usable space. And the Primo came with so many accessories. Absolutely loved it, but my landscaper knocked it down the tile steps and it broke like a Big Green Egg! Replaced it with a Weber Summit Kamado and love it.

[@noordeinde38]

I think you need an Ikea rib-rack ;-)

[@tckemsley]

Looking forward to more videos of the Primo XL. How many racks of spareribs came you lay flat on the main rack?

[@bobcooke1820]

Hi James that looks like the friendly fires store in Peterborough.

[@flynviking2093]

James, I am very excited to see you starting to make content using the Primo Oval XL. There isn’t enough content out there showcasing the Primo. This is a fine USA made product that deserves some attention. I had a more traditional sized kamado and won’t go back after owning the Primo XL. You do a great job with all your videos.

[@user-ws5hy8ut5k]

Hi James, another great video. Just a quick hack/ suggestion to get the airgap between deflectors and the pizza stone, I use ceramic plant pot feet (similar to Kamado feet but flat ). You can usually get them pretty cheap from the DIY or Garden Centre. Get glazed ones so you know they have been fired and can take the heat (can colour match your Kamado if fussy) they can also be used as trivet for hot pans etc.

[@ahale1987]

James, great video and now I'm hungry. It's so good to see the Primo getting some love. I feel like the oval shape is a game-changer. It does mean that a lot of accessories from KJ and BGE won't fit, but since most of our cuts of meat aren't circular, the oval makes a lot of sense.

[@billystpaul8907]

Another informative video. Would of never thought of a double indirect method. Will have to see how to use it in my Grilla Grill kamado. Those Primo grills are nice grill. My BBQ store sells them. Maybe some day....Thanks James, your guest's always eat well....

[@Keith80027]

You got that double indirect fine tuned for sure and the Primo did a great job of cooking a lot of ribs. I wish I lived next door to you. Thanks for all the tips and recipes on your website.

[@williamwilson2624]

Those ribs looked delicious! Great video, as always!

[@CoolJay77]

Great review. More manufacturers ought to be making oval shaped Kamado grills.

[@JGill0124]

This was a good video. Although I’m already in the KJ camp, it’s good to see how other Kamado grills work. Just curious if you notice any differences between doing double indirect methods with deflectors and pizza stones vs KJ deflector and sloroller?

[@jamesjowdy5471]

The black Primo grill goes well with your shirt’s color palette. You’re meant to have a Primo on your stand back there.

[@samacc2536]

I love doing big cooks, I’m sure your guests were happy!

[@smokinjaws3310]

This was a great video. I was hoping you would teach your techniques on this smoker. I have a primo XL, and Jr. I hope you continue this series!!! Thanks James.
