Primo Ceramic Heat Deflector — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Primo Ceramic Heat Deflector?
This accessory consists of thick ceramic plates paired with a sturdy rack. Together, they enable indirect cooking by absorbing and redirecting heat, giving your kamado grill oven-like or smoker-style versatility.
Which Primo grills is it compatible with?
The Large Oval version (PG00326) fits the Primo Oval Large (300). Other sizes are available for Junior, XL, or Round models—just choose the one that matches your grill.
How does this enhance my cooking?
The ceramic plates create indirect heating, perfect for slow-roasting meats, smoking fish, or baking. You can also lift the cooking grate using the rack alone for two-zone setups.
How do I use and care for the deflector?
Place the rack inside your hot kamado, then set the pre-heated ceramic plates atop it. Avoid thermal shock by allowing the grill to warm gradually. To clean, just scrape off residue and heat to self-clean—the ceramic will darken with use. Don’t use soap or dishwasher.
Is it made in the USA?
Yes—Primo proudly manufactures their ceramic deflectors in the USA, ensuring high-quality and reliable performance.
What else can I do with it besides smoking?
Beyond smoking and roasting, it doubles as a baking surface—excellent for pizza, bread, or baking cookies—thanks to the unglazed pizza-stone design.
