The Grilla Primate is not technically a combo grill, but it is the combo grill you've been looking for. After using the Grilla Primate gas grill and griddle for about a year and performing extensive testing, we share the 7 reasons why this is the only combo grill we recommend right now.

After watching your reviews of griddles and grills I purchased the Primate because of it's versatility. I also purchased the 2/3 griddle to use as a combo which I find to be my favorite way to use it as I generally just cook for the wife and I. Bought it 2 months ago and very happy with my purchase.

@RH-zt9ph 6 месяцев назад

Glad you are finally finding out how good Grilla products are.

Truth!

@cliffwallace5521 6 месяцев назад

I've had my Primate more than a year now and I love it. I use the griddle 95% of the time, but it works great in either configuration. The build quality is far superior to the units you get at the big box stores. Plus it has more BTUs than those models as well. For the price, if you were building an outdoor kitchen and wanted both a grill and a griddle, you could get 2 Primates and always have plenty of cook space in either set up.

@TheBarbecueLab 6 месяцев назад

That's a great point Cliff.

@briankannady6469 2 месяца назад

I've never had a grill sold as a combo grill, but I have a Weber Genesis with the full size griddle, so similar in concept to the Grilla. I love it. Wanting the same kind of thing in my outdoor kitchen we're building, and not wanting to pay the $$$$$ for a built in Weber Summit. Looking hard at this thing.

I preordered the primate and have been using it regularly since I picked it up in Holland. Best gas grill I've ever owned and I use it year round here in Michigan, The double wall construction is a game changer, especially in winter. I was confident in Grilla construction since I already owned the Silverback smoker and they both have stood up to a lot of use and still perform like new.

@dustinvinci345 6 месяцев назад

This one is on my wish list and will be my next grill once mine finally goes. Grilla products seem to be high quality for a fair price! Review more grilla!

@k1llerdir 6 месяцев назад

The closet thing to a combo grill have ever had has been my weber genesis s435. I have the full griddle insert and half the time I use griddle for smash burgers and breakfast. The times I use it as a gas grill I am either making a boat load of burgers or searing steaks. I like to use the side burner for making perculator coffee, making pasta, making sauces, and deep frying. I often use the side burner while using my other grills for making sauces and sides.

@davidward1259 Месяц назад

I have a 2008 Weber Genesis S-670 (the beast). I recently bought their replacement cast iron griddle plate that can replace one of the large stainless grates in the 670. I also had a Blackstone which I bough some years back. Now that it's just the 2 of us, I leave the griddle in one section of the Weber full time and have plenty of space to either grill or griddle for 2 (and still have the rotisserie burner option as well). There are options out there, even 3rd party aftermarket heavy duty drop in griddles. So it should be possible to find something that works for pretty much everyone.

@brianh395 6 месяцев назад

Glad to find your video on the primate. Not very many videos out there that arent from the company or are just showing the griddle side of the primate instead of the grill. I have a weber kettle grill and a grilla grill chimp. Was thinking of getting a blackstone 36" pro series but i like having the option of having a gas grill when i want. Leaning more towards the primate now. Thanks!!

@TheBarbecueLab 6 месяцев назад

Thanks for watching! I really like the versatility of the Primate, and the gas grill sears so hard that I burned my steak sear by underestimating it. That's what I like in a gas grill. When a sear can get too seared, I know I've found a good one.

@brianh395 6 месяцев назад

@@TheBarbecueLab Do you think the 2/3 griddle is worth it? I keep thinking that with just fixing meals for 2 people, most of the time and some of those meals could be cooked on the grates and the rest on the 2/3 griddle would be ideal for my wife and I.

@TheBarbecueLab 6 месяцев назад

That's my preferred setup when I'm not cooking for guests@@brianh395 - It just gives us so many options on how to cook things for the family on weeknights without having to fiddle with changing things over.

@brianh395 4 месяца назад

Something I've noticed is, how the gap between the front edge of the griddle and the edge that the griddle sits on towards the temp knobs get so freaking hot. I cook on low must of the time but after awhile the heat coming up there can burn you. Do you have any suggestions on taming the heat in that spot?

@determinedskeptic 3 месяца назад

This looks pretty awesome. Only two improvements I’d like for my personal preference: higher lid & rotisserie option (I don’t need a rotisserie burner, but that would be nice), and a 1/3 griddle option. Grilled steaks, and fried eggs on the griddle is a great meal but ⅔ griddle takes up too much space (I think)

@RamblersDiner 6 месяцев назад

I’ve never had a combo, probably never will, of this sort anyway. Sometimes, we’re entertaining 25+ people at a time, and I can have both my 36” Blackstone, and my Napoleon going at the same time, to produce a full meal. If it was always just the two of us, it would be great. But that isn’t us.

@TheBarbecueLab 6 месяцев назад

That's always been a concern of mine. I never wanted to have a grill that was too small to entertain, so I ended up with multiple grills in the end. Now we've outgrown our largest offset smoker, so it's time for an upgrade to do bigger fundraisers and non-profit cooks for the causes I care about. It's what appears to be a never-ending struggle.

@johnhawkins3263 2 месяца назад

I can understand your concern, I fight that myself. I have a full outdoor kitchen with my primary smoker being a Memphis Elite Pellet smoker. I have side burners, power burners and even a sear burner. But I must say having a griddle and gas grill combo will give me the flexibility I need to up my game...even for big cookouts I can share the wealth amongst the different cookers.

I have had a Blackstone the larger 4 burner one for almost 4yrs now. I loved it at first, but the maintainence just became a pain. then I saw that some of these flat tops were coming out with a ceramic type non stick thing that really seemed cool. But did not want to re-invest. Now after a few years, I have heard a fair number of horror stories of those ceramic type models. So Having the Blackstone is a good thing at the end of the day, but I hardly ever use it. I focus on my old school Webber 22" charcoal kettle.

@TheBarbecueLab 6 месяцев назад

I’m interested to see a few of the new surfaces that come out this year in griddles, but haven’t gotten hands on with them to date. I do love my 22” Weber though. It’s a family weeknight favorite around here!

@Mrn00gie 5 месяцев назад

Quick question.....the burners....are they removable? They looked like they are "staked" in a Grilla video. I'm concerned about getting replacement burners down the road .... Do they appear to be something "standard" that we may could find online? I contacted Grilla about parts before ordering, and was told "they keep a few spare things laying around". That doesn't give me confidence in the company.

@DavidKirchhoff 2 месяца назад

I looked at this in detail and even downloaded the manual... On the web page it is described MANY times as a Combo Gas Grill AND Griddle... BUT, when you look in detail at the Installation section, it states "do not install the Flame Tamers with the griddle configuration". I even called them about this and the Rep. stated this is the case, so it's really not and AND, it an OR. She stated the new 2/3 griddle to leave 1/3 as a grill. I don't really want to go that way. But in your video I see that the Flame Tamers are installed and you are removing the grill grates and dropping in the griddle. ANY ISSUES with the functionality of the Griddle with the Flame Tamers in place ? I would really like to have this unit, it looks great and this is the functionality I want.

@garytman007 Месяц назад

You simply just lift the flame tamers off when you want to use the griddle.

@justinvoye8967 5 месяцев назад

The griddle itself is made out of good ole cold rolled steel correct? I'd prefer to not have any type of coating whatsoever. Thanks!

How do you drain the bacon grease off the griddle when you’re cooking baking on it where does it go? Is there a hole? I didn’t quite catch it and is there a basin for it to go into when you’re using the grill?

@TheBarbecueLab 6 месяцев назад

There’s a small oblong hole on the front left of the griddle surface, and a drip tray that sits under the left side shelf. I’m surprised I didn’t show that in the video, but I must have left it on the cutting room floor during the edit.

@bennisim7949 Месяц назад

How is it compared to Traeger ?

@TheBarbecueLab Месяц назад

I’m going to assume that you mean the Flatrock, right? On the griddle side of things, the Flatrock is deeper and can hold more compared to the Primate which loses a few inches on the griddle side of things since it’s a griddle insert. In the plus side, the burners on the Grilla are incredibly powerful, and since it doubles as a gas grill, there’s no comparison in terms of it doing two functions in one body instead of just the griddle. For me, it just depends on whether you want the gas grill and the griddle or just the griddle.
