Primo Cast Iron Charcoal Grate for Oval JR 200

Primo Cast Iron Charcoal Grate for Oval JR 200: Small Grill, Same Demands on Draft

In a compact kamado like the Oval JR 200 the firebox is small, so it shows all the more when the air does not flow as it should. The charcoal grate has the job of lifting the coals so the draft from the bottom vent reaches the embers, while ash falls unobstructed into the ash chamber. This original spare part from Primo is made of heavy cast iron, and gives the junior back the fast lighting and precise vent response it had when new.

The grate is a true wear part: it sits at the bottom of the firebox with the embers directly on it, every single session. When it finally cracks or warps, the airways clog with ash and charcoal pieces, the embers burn unevenly and everything takes longer. With an intact cast iron grate in place the charcoal burns evenly across the whole small base, and the JR 200 responds quickly to vent adjustments again, from low smoking temperatures to full grilling heat. The swap takes under a minute and needs no tools.

Features

• Heavy cast iron: Withstands sitting directly in the embers session after session without losing its shape.
• Open airways: The grate ensures good airflow to the coals, while ash falls freely into the ash chamber.
• Original fit: Primo's own part for the Oval JR 200, drops straight into place in the firebox without adjustment.
• Quick swap: Out with the old, in with the new, no tools needed.

How to use

1. Let the grill cool down completely, and empty out charcoal and ash.
2. Lift the old charcoal grate out of the firebox.
3. Set the new grate in place at the bottom of the firebox.
4. Fill with charcoal and light as normal, and empty the ash chamber regularly for the best draft.
