This hinge and handle kit fits the Post-2015 Primo Oval X-Large and nothing else. Primo used one hinge design before 2015 and another after it, and the wrong era will not mount, which makes the age of your grill the first thing to establish and its size the second.
Three parts make up the kit: the hinge, the bands and the handle. An X-Large carries a big dome, and every time you open and close it during a cook that weight runs through the hinge, while every lift puts it through the handle. Hardware on a grill this size is doing real work, which is why it eventually becomes a part you replace.
When the assembly loses its tension the grill tells you. The lid drops instead of settling, or comes to rest against the base unevenly. Since a kamado only seals when the dome lands flat, that unevenness turns into a fire you cannot pin down at low temperatures. Fitting hinge, bands and handle together puts the geometry right in one pass rather than chasing it part by part.
The grill this belongs to is the Primo Oval X-Large ceramic charcoal grill, sold on its own or as the Primo Oval X-Large All-In-One package. With the bands loosened you have easy access to the sealing surfaces, so it is a sensible moment to look at the Primo replacement gasket for the Oval X-Large 400 and Large 300. Everything else Primo makes for this grill is in Primo grill accessories.
Frequently Asked Questions
This is the post-2015 one. If your X-Large dates from before 2015 you want the Pre-2015 Oval X-Large hinge and handle kit instead, because the two designs do not interchange and there is no adapting one to the other. Establish the grill's age before you order rather than after the box arrives.
The hinge, the bands and the handle, which is the complete set of hardware that clamps the ceramic and swings the dome. Replacing them together avoids the common mistake of bolting a fresh hinge onto bands that have already lost their shape, which puts the dome back out of alignment almost immediately.
No. These kits are cut to the grill they serve, so a Large kit will not band an X-Large shell. Size and era both have to match, which means an X-Large owner is choosing between two listings only: the post-2015 kit and the pre-2015 one. Getting either half wrong leaves you with a part you cannot use.
It is a reasonable time to do it. The gasket sits on the rims that the dome and base close against, and those surfaces are far easier to reach and clean while the hardware is loose. If your grill has been slow to hold a low temperature, the gasket and the hinge are the two usual suspects, so address both at once.
They are the metal straps that wrap around the ceramic dome and the ceramic base. The hinge bolts to them rather than to the ceramic itself, so the bands are what transfers the load. When bands spread or loosen, the dome stops sitting square, and no amount of adjusting the hinge alone will bring it back.
No. This listing is for the Oval X-Large, and the XX-Large is a different grill with a different shell. Hardware that clamps around ceramic is not something to size up by eye, so buy the kit that names your grill rather than the closest one you can find.
