This is the hinge and handle kit for the Post-2015 Primo Round. Primo's hinge hardware is not the same on pre-2015 and post-2015 grills, and a kit from the wrong era will not fit yours, so settle which one you own before anything else.
The kit covers the hardware that holds the dome and moves it: the hinge, the bands that wrap the ceramic halves, and the handle. Those three work as one assembly on any kamado. The bands grip the ceramic, the hinge carries the weight of the dome and decides how it lands when you close it, and the handle takes the pull.
Worn hinge hardware announces itself. The dome sits crooked, fights you on the way up, or stops meeting the base evenly the whole way round. That last symptom matters more than it looks, because a dome that does not land square leaks air, and a leaking kamado is a hard thing to hold at a low temperature. Replacing hinge, bands and handle as a set keeps the parts matched to each other rather than pairing new hardware with bands that have already spread.
This kit belongs to the Round alone; the Oval sizes have their own, split by era in the same way. The grills it serves are the Primo Round ceramic charcoal grill and the Primo Round All-In-One package. If you are rebuilding the stand at the same time, the Primo cradle for the Round is worth a look, and the rest of the parts catalogue sits in Primo grill accessories.
Frequently Asked Questions
Go by the age of the grill, not its size. This kit is built for post-2015 Round grills, and earlier Rounds use different hardware that does not swap over. If you bought the grill new, the year you bought it answers the question. If it came to you secondhand, find out when it was originally sold before you order.
The hinge, the bands and the handle. Bands are the metal straps that wrap the ceramic dome and base; the hinge joins them at the back and carries the dome's weight; the handle is the part you pull on. Buying all three together means the pieces are matched to one another instead of mixed across generations.
No. It is made for the Round, and the Ovals are a different shell shape with their own kits, each of those split by era as well. Browse the full Primo range to find the listing for your grill. On this part, matching the size is not enough on its own; the era has to match too.
You can change a handle on its own if that is genuinely all that is wrong. But handles usually work loose because the band hardware they mount to has worked loose first, so a new handle on tired bands is a short-lived fix. If the dome is also sitting off-centre or closing hard, the whole assembly is what needs attention.
It can. A kamado holds a low temperature because the dome and base seal against one another, so if the hinge lets the dome rest crooked, the seal opens and the fire draws air it should not have. If your Round has started running hotter than the vents suggest, look at how the dome sits before you blame the charcoal.
Most owners do it with ordinary hand tools. Work with the grill completely cool, support the dome so it cannot drop while the bands are loose, and get a second pair of hands for the lift, because ceramic domes are heavy and awkward. Spend your time squaring the dome to the base before the final tightening.
