Features
- Factory Primo part: made for the Oval Junior 200 rather than a universal kamado lid.
- Lifetime ceramic coverage on the grill: Primo gives a limited lifetime warranty on all ceramic parts of the grill to the original purchaser; a defective lid is replaced through your dealer.
- Oval Junior lid size: 21 in. wide at the lid with a 10.25 in. lid height (Primo Junior spec sheet), the same as your existing Junior lid.
- Keeps your Junior's range: the Junior is rated 151 to 850°F+, with a 210 sq. in. main grid (13.5 x 18.5 in.) and 360 sq. in. with Primo's optional rack system, per the Junior spec sheet.
- Pairs with Primo's damper top: Primo's precision damper top is a replacement for all grill sizes, so a worn top vent can be replaced on its own.

Installation planning
- Confirm the model first: this lid is for the Oval Junior 200 only (for the Round, see PG0177902R). Primo's warranty does not cover unauthorized parts, so match the part to your grill before ordering. Primo sells separate pre-2015 and post-2015 Easy Lift hinge kits, so tell us your grill's year.
- Warranty route: if the original lid 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.
- Lifting: Primo's oval grill unpacking instructions (PG1000596) call for two adults to lift the grill, one at each end, with one hand under and one behind, and never by the hinge assembly. Treat the ceramic lid with the same care.
- Reassembly: Primo does not publish instructions for swapping a ceramic lid, and its owner's manual says not to loosen the bands or the hinge assembly, so ask us or your dealer before you start. Primo's unpacking instructions say to use a 5 mm hex key to check that both bands are tight before and after first use, without over-tightening, and to check them periodically.
- Placement: Primo's Junior 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.
- Fuel and lighting: use only natural lump charcoal. Never use lighter fluid or other combustible liquids; Primo says the ceramic absorbs them.
Care: Primo's owner's manual asks you to lubricate the moving parts inside the hinge at least twice a year and to check and tighten the band bolts frequently. Primo's warranty maintenance adds: clean the ash from the cast iron grate, clean the cooking grates after each use, and check and tighten bolts several times a season and after each high-heat cook.
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 top 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, and the existing part must be disposed of once the replacement arrives. Not covered: rust, fading, surface blemishes and oxidation unless they cause the part to fail; damage from use, misuse, improper installation or storage; unauthorized service or parts; lack of maintenance (including not removing ash from cast iron grates and 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, serial 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.
