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.

Glad you are finally finding out how good Grilla products are.
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.
Great stuff my friend!! The Primate seems like a workhorse!
It's garbage. A few major design flaws, had several times light wind sparks serious flame up while the lid is closed, it's melted my knobs twice. But a tick more wind, and the flame blows out with the lid closed which is dangerous. Never had these issues with my old gas grill.
Your review was very helpful. I got mine today. I'll be using it over the weekend and report back. Thanks!
I had the same dilemma - I ended up buying a Monument 4 burner (all stainless steel) and then got an insert from Outfitters Edge that fit perfectly inside.
1099?! Jeez, hopefully someone from Grilla will post a 50% off coupon code or something...
Don’t the new Weber genesis grills have the same feature? Just pop the grates out and throw in the griddle. Maybe not quite as large of a cooking area tho?
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!
This will be the next grill I get I have the Grilla grill silverback and the kamado grill so can’t wait to get this one
Love the channel! I recently purchase the Grilla grill kitchen combo with primate. Glad to see it’s held up well in rain. Has it continued to do well in your weather conditions? I am debating if I should get a custom cover. Thank you!
This is great info. Never knew about these brands.
I bought the primate a few months ago after watching this video. I've used it for breakfast/lunch/dinner. I think its an incredible value for the griddle alone and havent even tried the grill configuration (but i have 0 dout the gas grill portion will have any unwanted surprises).
I really wish they had an option to get a stainless steel cooking surface to match all of the other stainless steel. I have to avoid carbon steel and cast iron.
Defo look aswell as it sound but 1 thing I would like to see is the option to use it as half grill & half griddle aswell as full grill or griddle depending on what iam cooking. So a everything in one box kinda thing
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)
How does this compare to the weber genesis with full griddle insert?
Looks like the primate is sold out. I want to get it for an outdoor kitchen build. I really like it but I may have to go a different direction. Any other suggestions
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.
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?
