Primo Junior Oval Grill (JR 200) – Dallas–Fort Worth Primo Dealer

Located in Denton, TX, Ceramic Grill Store is the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex’s only dedicated ceramic grill store. We proudly feature the Primo Junior Oval (JR 200), the largest portable ceramic kamado grill available today.

For over 20 years, customers from Denton, Dallas, Fort Worth, and across North Texas have trusted Ceramic Grill Store for expert guidance on kamado grills and cooking systems.

A Junior with Medium BGE Capability

At 210 sq. in., The Primo Junior 200 delivers performance closer to a Medium Big Green Egg (195 sq. in.). So, you can enjoy medium-level capability in a portable, space-efficient kamado.

  • Primo Junior Oval — 210 sq. in.
  • Big Green EGG Medium — 195 sq. in.
  • Big Green EGG MiniMax — 133 sq. in.
  • Kamado Joe Junior — 143 sq. in.

The oval shape also provides more usable cooking space, allowing you to cook whole chickens, racks of ribs, or multiple steaks more comfortably than most portable round kamados.

Why the Primo Oval Shape Matters

The defining feature of the Primo Junior Oval is its patented oval cooking design. Unlike traditional round kamado grills, the oval layout naturally creates separate cooking zones.

This makes it easier to run direct and indirect heat at the same time, even on a compact grill. You can sear steaks over direct charcoal on one side while finishing vegetables or chicken over indirect heat on the other.

The oval shape also provides more usable cooking space for real BBQ foods like whole chickens, rib racks, and longer cuts of meat that can be difficult to fit on smaller round portable kamados.

Portable Primo Cooking for Tailgating & Camping

The Primo Go Carrier and Bottom Base turn the Junior Oval into a highly capable portable ceramic grill system. It provides more cooking capacity than most travel-sized kamados while remaining compact enough for tailgating, camping, RV trips, and patio cooking.

The Junior heats quickly for weeknight grilling but still delivers the temperature control and fuel efficiency kamado grills are known for.

Best Uses for the Primo Junior Oval

The Primo Junior Oval is a favorite among cooks who want true kamado performance in a compact footprint.

  • Tailgating: Large enough to cook for a crowd while remaining portable enough for game day setups.
  • Camping & RV Cooking: Ceramic insulation maintains stable temperatures even in cooler weather or windy outdoor conditions.
  • Small Patios: Ideal for patios, townhomes, and smaller backyard spaces.
  • Weeknight Grilling: Heats quickly and uses less charcoal than larger kamados.
  • Secondary Grill: Many experienced kamado owners keep a Junior for quick everyday cooks.

Indirect Cooking on the Primo Junior

Unlike other small kamados, the Primo Junior Oval is capable of both direct grilling and indirect cooking. Indirect setups are used for ribs, chicken, pork shoulder, and other low-and-slow BBQ cooks.

Many first-time kamado buyers don’t realize that heat deflectors are required for indirect cooking. Depending on the Primo package purchased, deflectors may not always be included.

At Ceramic Grill Store, we help customers configure their Junior with the right cooking setup for how they actually plan to cook. Our CGS cooking systems, racks, and accessories can expand the Junior’s capability far beyond the basic factory setup.
