Primo Heat Deflector Rack for Kamado (1 pc) — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Primo Heat Deflector Rack for Kamado?
This is a stainless steel rack (model PG00331) designed to sit inside a round Primo kamado grill. It raises the cooking grate or supports a ceramic heat deflector (pizza stone), enabling indirect cooking, smoking, or baking.
How does it improve cooking versatility?
By elevating the grate or holding a deflector above the coals, it lets you block direct heat and create a convective cooking zone. This expands your grill’s capabilities for low-and-slow, roasting, or indirect smoking.
What are the dimensions and specifications?
The rack is made of stainless steel. According to listings, it weighs about **3.5 lb**. The exact footprint is sized to fit Primo’s round kamado interior.
Which Primo or kamado models is it compatible with?
It fits round Primo kamado grills (e.g. the “Large Round” series). Use it in any compatible round model where it can be seated and where a deflector or grate above it will clear the dome lid.
How do I install and use the rack?
Insert the rack into the interior over your firebox or grate.
If using as a deflector support, place your ceramic deflector (or pizza stone) atop the rack.
If using it to elevate the cooking grate, you can run food above it for more dome clearance.
Make sure there is enough clearance to close the lid and maintain airflow.
Always preheat and test for fit before a full cook.
Are there any limitations or things to watch out for?
Because it raises the cooking surface, the dome lid clearance might be reduced, especially with tall cuts of meat. Also, the rack itself must be stable and properly seated to avoid shifting during temperature changes. Finally, it’s not a replacement for heavy cast deflectors in very high heat scenarios.
