Product Description

Primo Heat Deflector Rack is needed for indirect setups in Primo Round Kamado.

The Heat Deflector Rack holds your deflector plates beneath the main cooking grid, enabling low-and-slow barbecue, two-zone grilling, and controlled heat circulation inside the firebox.

How the Primo Deflector Rack Works

The rack sits directly on top of the firebox and supports your heat deflector plates below the cooking grid. This placement blocks direct heat coming off the fire, creating the gentle convection needed for smoking and long cooks.

Setup Steps

  1. Place the Heat Deflector Rack on the firebox.
  2. Set the deflector plate(s) on the rack.
  3. Add your cooking grid onto the three built-in risers.

This simple structure forms the essential indirect barrier for stable temperatures and consistent smoking results.

Using 15" Half-Moon Deflectors on the Rack

CGS strongly recommends pairing the rack with 15-inch half-moon ceramic deflectors. The 15" diameter provides the best coverage, airflow, and performance on the Primo Round.

Most Common Indirect Setups

  • Full Indirect (Low & Slow): Use two half-moon deflectors to fully block direct heat—perfect for ribs, pork shoulder, brisket, and longer barbecue cooks.
  • Two-Zone Grilling: Use one half-moon deflector to create direct and indirect areas on the same cook.
