The Charcoal Difference
Any backyard pool owner is bound to tell you about their love of outdoor grilling at some point in the conversation. Truth be told, if you’ve got a outdoor living area that you share with family and friends, then you need a grill to cook on!
At Illiana Backyard Fun, we are proud to supply the American Made Primo Charcoal Grill line. These charcoal grills are designed to outperform standard gas grills available on the market today. The premier oval design provides a broader cooking surface than the famed “round” design of the Green Eggs.
Charcoal cooking allows the food to naturally soak in the flavors of lump charcoal (a natural cooking method) while leaving out the fumes of natural gas and propane. The Primo Grill also retains majority of its heat and provides a safer cooker method that has less surface radiation than stainless steel grills.

The Primo Grill utilizes both Conventional and Conventional cooking methods. Direct heat is applied to the food from the charcoal beneath. Meanwhile, heat is circulated inside of the unit due to the vertical airflow that is created internally. Regulate the heat utilizing both the air intake and air outlet.
It’s All About “How It Works”
The genius is in the design. Created to operate similar to an oven, the Primo Grill has the capability of cooking your food using 3 diverse cooking methods:
- Grilling: Direct Cooking
- Grilling & Roasting: Direct & Indirect Cooking
- Baking, Roasting & Smoking: Indirect Cooking
Alter your cooking method depending on the type of dish you’d like to whip up! You have the freedom to choose what works best for you. One of our favorite aspects of this grill is the diversity and re-usability. Once you’ve finished your meal, you can leave the remaining lump charcoal in the cooker and re-light it for your next dish!
Controlling the temperature is fairly straight forward. You can regulate your temperature based upon the air flow that you allow into the unit. Utilize both the air intake (metal door located on the bottom) and the air vent (cast iron lid on top).
Both of these units regulate the amount of air allowed into the unit. The more open you leave the vents, the faster the temperature will rise. Secondly, once you’ve dialed in your desired temperature level, just close the grates halfway and allow your meal to cook!

Our oval design provides you with greater cooking surface than the conventional shape of the Green Egg. Using the same cooking technology, we can slap on some juicy t-bone steaks or sizzle up some crispy asparagus as the perfect pair to any dish!
Convection Versus Conventional Cooking
As we’ve already mentioned, the Primo grill utilizes the power of Convectional and Conventional cooking methods: all in the same design! Our oval design allows us to fit more food into the same grilling space compared to the widely appraised Green Egg units.
We dare you to take your next meal from your battle hardened gas grill to the Primo so you can see and tastes the difference! If you think your gas grill has more horse power, then you’ve got another thing coming! The superior engineering of the Primo grill allows you to hit a range of 150 – 850 degrees Fahrenheit! You’ll be melting your stainless steel grill while trying to keep up with our oven style cooking technology!
Lastly, the heat is circulated internally allowing your food to cook both internally and externally. Not only will it cook your food throughout but it will retain the moisture of your meat and hold flavors due to the gentle radiant heat. Your food will be tastier, healthier and and more flavorful than ever!
