Thanks Cybercowboy...
After all the posts about cooking on a Primo XL I decided years ago that I needed one. I finally have the spot, and one came up for sale on craigslist.
Came out of a $2M home. Owner had it nine years and said they'd used it a dozen times. It was pretty clean so I'm guessing that's accurate. Brought it home Monday...(an ordeal on its own)...steaks last night, smoked chicken tonight. |

Nice! It took me nine months to get a used Primo. Those things just disappear before you can close the deal, it seems.
How much did you give ferrit? |

They are great to have and nothing else really quite does as well. But I gotta say, the various pellet grills nowadays are really nice too. I'm sure you'll get many years out of the grill itself but their table thing won't last all that long sadly. At least mine didn't. I now have a custom stainless monstrosity that I got in Springfield MO from a specialty store. It's built like a tank. Used the Primo last night to grill some pork chops. The firebox is cracked in several places and held together by wedging wood chunks between it and the main body. 20 years and still on the same metal grates.

$750. Kind of a chance happening that I found it. I had searched weeks ago on my iPad. I was closing tabs when I hit the craigslist search tab and there it was, had been posted a few hours earlier. I made contact, went to look at it the next morning and had to make a decision right then; they said they had a line of people that wanted it if I didn't.

I paid $750 for mine too.
The outer shell had some minor checking and he received a new one for free from Primo. I kept the replacement shell in the garage and after a few years I built an outdoor kitchen for my Dad. I rounded up all the innards and now our family has two Primo XL grills. |

Well looks like I'll be getting a new firebox and grate soon, and I sorta need some new cooking grates. I don't even care if they charge me.
