[quote="Larry Wolfe":2c3txdx7]Pig's do yourself a favor and sell it NOW. Enough said. I can say that from lots of experience cooking on both the XL and Jr, sell it fast and buy a couple Webers and bank the rest of the money!
You say that after YOU sold me one.... 
Don't listen to him Pigs... they are good cookers.. Larry just didn't know how to use it.[/quote:2c3txdx7]
Do car salesmen love or drive the cars they sell??
They are NOT GOOD cookers IMO.
My Number of Reasons to support my opinion.
#1 They cook uneven
#2 They cook more like an oven
#3 They can and
will break (firebox specifically)
#4 The lids WILL, DO AND HAVE come out of the bracket and surprise, they shattered
#5 The can 'seize' shut due to the gasket melting
#6 The firebox divider in alot of cases expands due to the heat and breaks the firebox
#7 They are top heavy and WILL tip over and breakwith the nest set up
#8 The Stainless Steel Side Tables are not straight on ANY Primo and they're flimsy for the $ you pay for them.
#9 It is recommended by almost all owners to buy a cotronics gasket because the Primo Stock Gasket is CRAP. I replaced them on each grill 5 times or more. The cotronics gaskets contain asbestos and are NOT food safe. Why would you want to buy a $1,000+ grill and have to buy an after market gasket? Shouldn't it come with a better gasket? Would you buy a Corvette with a V-6?
#10 They are heavy and very impractical to relocate if you need to.
#11 The wheels do and WILL break off at the bolt when you're rolling, therefore tipping over and smashing. I 'think' this happened to Ron Beaux or something similar.
#12
Everything is an optional accessory....Would you buy an oven with one rack and want to buy a second one at additional cost?
#13 The porcelain coating on the grates chips after a couple cooks.
#14 Welds pop loose on the grates.
#15 Doesn't hold temps nearly as good as a WSM, even with a Guru.
So if you want to spend over $1,000.00 for one of these with all of these issues, more power to you!
I'll spend $299 for another WSM without the worry of any of the above mentioned problems and GET EVERYTHING I need for the cooker with that $299 without having to spend another $200-$500 in accessories, some that you really must have in order to fully utilize the Primos.
A WSM will out cook a Primo any day of the week and give you a more Traditional BBQ Tasting finished product for alot less money.
Just my .02 on a Primo vs. WSM
This one is not going to get away!
