Primo Cast Iron Firebox Divider for XXL — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Primo Cast Iron Firebox Divider and what does it do?
The divider is a heavy-duty cast iron insert that splits the firebox into two zones, enabling simultaneous direct and indirect cooking on a Primo XXL kamado grill.
Why would I want a firebox divider?
Using the divider helps you manage heat more precisely, conserve charcoal on smaller cooks by lighting only one side, and cook different foods (e.g. searing and roasting) at different temperatures in the same session.
Is this divider specifically for the XXL model?
Yes — this unit is designed to fit the **Primo XXL** grill. Primo lists this accessory as compatible with “XL, XXL” models, and it appears under the “Primo Cast Iron Firebox Divider for XXL” listing.
How do I install and remove the divider?
The divider simply lies on the firebox grate, fitting snugly along the chamber’s internal contour. To remove it, wait until the grill is cool and lift it straight up. No tools are required for routine removal.
How should I maintain and clean it?
After use, allow it to cool, then scrape off residue and ash. You can brush with a stiff grill brush. Avoid soaking in harsh chemicals; dry thoroughly before reinstalling to prevent corrosion. Because it’s cast iron, occasional light oiling can help maintain the surface.
Does using this divider affect warranty or performance?
No — this is an official Primo accessory. Proper use will not void your grill’s warranty. In fact, it enhances versatility and helps distribute heat better.
