Description
The Primo Cart Base with Basket for Oval Junior 200 (PG00318) is Primo's metal cart base in the Junior size: it holds the grill head at working height, carries a wire basket below for charcoal and tools, and rolls on four casters, with two locking casters at the front to keep the grill in place while you cook. Primo designs this base for its stainless steel tops, so you can add side shelves now or later.
It is made for the Oval Junior 200 PGCJRH (100 lb, 210 sq in main grate). Add the stainless side shelves PG00319 for landing space (the same cart and shelves come together as PG00320). For a wood stand, see the Junior countertop table PG00614; to take the Junior on the road, see the Primo GO carrier PG00321. You can also browse our Primo and kamado grills collections.
Plan ahead: the grill head and any top or side shelves are not included. The cart bolts together by hand with an adjustable wrench (or 10 mm and 11 mm wrenches); Primo says not to use power drivers or impact wrenches. Primo does not publish the cart's overall size or weight; ask us for them before you plan your patio space.
Features
- Wire basket: slides into the lower frame to hold charcoal and tools under the grill.
- Locking front casters: two locking casters at the front and two swivel casters keep the grill still while you cook and let you roll it away after.
- Removable front panel: the top-front panel of the top frame comes off so the grill can be set into the cart, then goes back on.
- Ready for Primo tops: Primo intends the base for its tops; for the Junior cart that is the stainless steel side shelves PG00319.
- Made for the Junior: Primo's cart instructions list PG00318 for the Oval JR 200, Primo's 100 lb, 210 sq in. Junior head.
- Hand-tightened build: 12 M6 x 20 hex bolts thread into rivet nuts to join the frames, verticals and shelf, with no power tools needed.

Installation planning
- Before you start: unpack and check every part against the parts list, and handle the metal parts with care, as some may have sharp edges. Tighten by hand: Primo says power screwdrivers, drills and impact wrenches can damage the cart or its rivet nuts.
- Cart assembly (Primo PG1000728): (1) attach the two locking casters to one long side of the bottom frame and the swivel casters to the other, with the pan head screws inserted from the top and a washer and lock nut below; (2) fit the four verticals by threading a hex bolt into the rivet nut at each bottom frame corner, finger tight; (3) set the shelf over the middle brackets and thread its bolts in from below, finger tight; (4) fit the top frame with its long side over the locking casters, finger tight; (5) stand the cart on a flat surface and tighten all 12 hex bolts with a 10 mm or adjustable wrench; (6) slide in the wire basket.
- Side shelves: fit Primo's stainless side shelves after the cart is built, following the instructions packed with them.
- Setting the grill: lock the casters first. You can remove the top-front panel of the top frame, set the grill in, then reinstall the panel. Primo's oval grill unpacking instructions (PG1000596) call for two adults to lift the head, one at each end, with one hand under and one behind the grill, and never by the hinge assembly.
- 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. Choose a smooth, level spot for the casters.
Care: Primo's warranty asks owners to tighten bolts regularly; check the cart bolts from time to time. Weather, moisture, salt and chemicals can mark metal parts, so a cover helps when the grill is not in use.

Its general terms give a limited 1-year rust-through warranty on all cast iron parts and on "all other parts and accessories" unless stated otherwise, alongside the limited lifetime warranty on ceramic parts and the limited 5-year rust-through warranty on metal parts other than cast iron. Ask us to confirm the coverage for this cart before you order.

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 tightening bolts regularly), removal and reinstallation, service calls, labor, travel, diagnostic and freight charges.
