supports)

Factory, there are no distributors yet
What you like most about it/them?
Size. Available options. 3 cooking levels,
optional gas burner for quick lighting of the charcoal and boosting the
temperature for higher temperature cooks. Semi-portable

(see Below)
Which grill & size?
Kamado #3 Tera Blue Mosaic Tile with Stainless
Steel bands and grill
How long you have had it/them?
4 months
How often do you use it/them?
Several times a week
How's it holding up?
Excellent
Table or nest?
Stainless steel wheeled cart
Customer service, (factory/distributor?
Factory
What you like most about it/them?
Perfect size for everyday cooking for 1 to 3
people. The beautiful tiled appearance. The optional gas burner. I can fill
it with charcoal, light the gas, go inside and before I build a pizza, I have
a dome temperature of 600+ (less than 20 minutes). 2 cooking levels (3rd is
available). Almost portable enough, it is slowly taking the place of the #1.
(but does any 1 person really need all 3?)
What you like least about it/them?
No regional distribution. Long wait time from
order time to delivery time. (about 3 months, can be longer)
I didn't get all of them in Mosaic tiles.
I've never tried the #1 for temperature control.
Mostly grilling.
The #3 will cook up to three 5-6# pork butts at a
time with excellent temperature control.
The #5 will cook up to six 5-6# pork butts at a
time, or 3 butts and a 12 pound brisket at the same time.
The #5 will cook an 18 plus # turkey.
Sizes, compared to BGE since I don't know Primo's sizes:
#1 similar to a small BGE
#3 similar to a medium BGE
#5 similar to a large BGE
Kamado also has a #7 and a #9 with a #11 in
production
Hope this is a help.
