Add a Raised Second Cooking Level to Your Primo Oval

Expand your cooking space with a genuine Primo Oval Extension Rack. This stainless steel accessory adds an elevated second cooking level above your existing cooking grid, giving you additional room for grilling, warming, or moving food farther from the charcoal.

Designed for the Primo Oval Junior, Large, and XL, the Extension Rack provides an easy way to increase usable cooking space without replacing your existing cooking grids.

Important — One Extension Rack Per Package

Each purchase includes one Primo Oval Extension Rack. Two matching extension racks are required to create a raised second cooking level across the full Primo Oval cooking area.

Select the extension rack designed for your specific Primo Oval grill size.

Why Choose the Primo Oval Extension Rack?

  • Additional Cooking Space: Adds a raised second cooking level above the existing cooking grid.
  • Raised-Grid Cooking: Positions food farther from the charcoal for gentler cooking and additional flexibility.
  • Warming & Staging: Provides an elevated area for warming buns, holding food, or moving items away from more intense heat.
  • Flexible Setup: Use one extension rack for a smaller raised cooking area or two for full-width second-level coverage.
  • Stainless Steel Construction: Durable stainless steel designed for repeated grilling use.
  • Genuine Primo OEM Accessory: Designed specifically for compatible Primo Oval ceramic grills.

One Extension Rack or Two?

The Primo Oval's two-piece cooking grid design allows you to expand your cooking space based on how much additional room you need.

  • One Extension Rack: Creates an elevated cooking area above one side of the main cooking surface. Ideal for smaller meals, warming food, or adding a little extra space.
  • Two Extension Racks: Creates a raised second cooking level across both sides of the Primo Oval, providing additional cooking space for larger meals and entertaining.

Using two racks provides more cooking capacity while leaving the main cooking grids available underneath.

How to Use the Primo Oval Extension Rack

The Extension Rack sits above your existing Primo cooking grid, creating a second cooking surface without requiring a complete replacement of the main grid.

Use the lower cooking grid for steaks, burgers, or foods needing more direct heat while positioning vegetables, chicken, buns, or other foods on the raised rack.

The elevated position is also useful during indirect cooking when you need additional space for larger meals.

Setup Tips, Care & Frequently Asked Questions

Explore the sections below for information about rack placement, cooking setups, cleaning, and compatibility.

How Does the Primo Extension Rack Install?

The Primo Extension Rack is designed to sit above the existing cooking grid, creating a raised second cooking level.

Position the extension rack securely on its compatible main cooking grid, ensuring that it is stable before adding food.

No permanent modifications to the grill are required.

Do I Need One or Two Extension Racks?

Each package includes one extension rack.

One rack creates a smaller raised cooking area, while two matching extension racks provide a full raised second level across the Primo Oval cooking surface.

Select the quantity based on how much additional cooking space you need.

Can I Use the Extension Rack for Indirect Cooking?

Yes. The Primo Extension Rack can provide additional cooking space during an indirect cook when used with the appropriate heat deflector configuration.

The rack itself does not create indirect heat. Ceramic heat deflectors or another compatible indirect cooking setup are required to shield food from direct charcoal heat.

What Foods Work Well on the Raised Rack?

The elevated cooking level is useful for foods that benefit from more distance from the charcoal or need additional room during larger cooks.

  • Vegetables: Cook above the main grilling surface while preparing proteins below.
  • Chicken & Seafood: Use the raised level for gentler cooking when the temperature and setup are appropriate.
  • Buns & Bread: Warm or toast above the main cooking grid.
  • Additional Proteins: Expand cooking capacity during indirect cooks and larger meals.
Cleaning & Maintenance

Allow the extension rack to cool before removing it from the grill.

  • Remove food residue with a suitable grill brush or scraper.
  • Wash with warm water and mild dish soap when necessary.
  • Rinse and dry thoroughly before storage.
  • Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaning methods that could damage the stainless steel finish.
  • Inspect the rack periodically for damage or distortion.

Normal discoloration from cooking temperatures and smoke exposure is expected with stainless steel grill accessories.

Will the Extension Rack Fit a Different Primo Oval Size?

No. Each extension rack is designed for the dimensions of its corresponding Primo Oval grill.

  • Oval Junior: PG00312
  • Oval Large: PG00315
  • Oval XL: PG00332

For the Primo Oval XXL, select the separate XXL Extension Rack.

Note: Each purchase includes one extension rack. Primo ceramic grill, main cooking grids, heat deflectors, and other accessories shown for illustration only are not included unless specifically stated with the selected product option.
