Well finally pulled the trigger on the Grilla Primate. Delivered today and assembled but not tested. Very solid cooker. The cooking unit was shipped assembled with the griddle bolted down. The cabinet was shipped flat. Took about two hours to assemble by myself taking my time. Once the cabinet was bolted together it was very sturdy. The stainless steel cooking grates are very heavy and should last a lifetime. Will buy a propane tank tomorrow and season the griddle and grill up some chicken or burgers.

I have never cooked on the GG Primate but I did spend an hour or two at their store (now closed) in DFW and I was very impressed by the build quality of all of their products. I like the ability to have a full size gas grill and a griddle in one unit. Enjoy your new purchase and send us some pics of your grilling.Last edited by Purc; February 20, 2024, 07:44 AM.
