We recommend using Primo brand
Quick Lights. They’re easy to use and will have your Primo ready to cook in just a few minutes. You should never use lighter fluid or other flammable liquids with your Primo Grill and Smoker.
Absolutely! As long as it is safe to be outdoors you can use your Primo Grill and Smoker. The ceramic is not affected by cold weather or rain although we do recommend using an official Primo Grill and Smoker Cover to protect your Primo Grill when its not in use.
Primo Grills and Smokers are designed to cook with the lid down unless adding, removing or turning your food. Cooking with the lid down will ensure you hold in all the heat and moisture to produce the best tasting food.

Possibly. If you are setting your Primo on any combustible material you must use the ceramic feet to keep the material from eventually scorching the material or possibly in a rare occurrence catching fire.
Yes. The exterior shell will become hot to the touch when cooking on your Primo. But unlike conventional metal gas and charcoal grills which become dangerously hot to the touch, your skin will not stick to the glazed exterior of the Primo.
We recommend using
Primo brand Natural Lump Charcoal for best results. Other natural lump charcoals are also fine to use in your Primo.
No. All Primos are for outdoor use only.
