Features
- Factory Primo part: made for the Primo Round rather than a universal kamado base.

- Round footprint: 13.75 in. wide at the base with an 18.5 in. base height (Primo Round spec sheet), the same as your existing Round base.
- Keeps your Round cooking area: the Round's 280 sq in. cooking area on an 18.5 in. diameter reversible grate, per the Round spec sheet.
- Same temperature range: Primo rates the Round from 151 to 850 °F and up (Round spec sheet).

Installation planning
- Confirm the model first: this base is for the Primo Round only (for the ovals, see PG0177501R or PG0177801R). Primo's warranty does not cover unauthorized parts, so match the part to your grill before ordering.
- Warranty route: if the original base has a ceramic defect, contact your dealer with the model number, serial number and proof of purchase before buying a replacement; Primo replaces defective parts with equivalent parts, the purchaser pays shipping, and the old part must be disposed of once the replacement arrives.
- Handling: the complete Round weighs 200 lb (Primo Round spec sheet). Primo does not publish lifting or base-swap instructions for the Round, so ask us or your dealer how to handle and reassemble it before you start.
- After reassembly: Primo's warranty asks owners to check and tighten the band bolts several times a season and after each high-heat cook.
- Placement: Primo's Round spec sheet asks for 10 in. of space behind the grill so the lid can open fully, and at least 2 in. around the outside of the grill. For a built-in, check the cut-out drawings on the Round spec sheet against your grill on site before cutting.
- Fuel and lighting: use only natural lump charcoal. Never use lighter fluid or other combustible liquids; Primo says the ceramic absorbs them.
Care: Clean the ash from the cast iron grate to prevent buildup, clean the cooking grates after each use, and check and tighten the band bolts several times a season and after high-heat cooks (Primo warranty maintenance).
Warranty
Primo Ceramic Grills gives the original purchaser of the grill a limited lifetime warranty on all ceramic parts, a limited 5-year rust-through warranty on metal parts other than cast iron, a limited 1-year rust-through warranty on cast iron parts and on all other parts and accessories unless stated otherwise, and a limited 30-day warranty on felt gaskets and thermometers. Primo's warranty page does not state a separate term for a ceramic bottom bought as a replacement part; ask us to confirm the coverage before you order.
Primo's conditions: coverage is for the original purchaser; the product must be installed according to Primo's instructions; keep a bill of sale or payment record. Replacement parts ship at the purchaser's expense. Not covered: damage from use, misuse, improper installation or storage, unauthorized service or parts, lack of maintenance (including not checking and tightening bolts several times a season), removal and reinstallation, service calls, labor, travel, diagnostic and freight charges. Claims go through your dealer with the model number and proof of purchase, or through Primo's online warranty claim form; international claims are not accepted. Full terms are on Primo's warranty and parts page.
