We’re a Primo dealer, too. Primo’s ceramic charcoal grills let you grill, roast, bake or smoke with the right cooking setup. The oval design gives you useful flexibility for direct and indirect cooking.
Your choice of setup: build a Primo into a custom island, or keep it freestanding with a compatible Primo cart or cradle. We’ll help match the grill, support and accessories to your space.
Ceramic vs. steel smokers: what changes?
| Consideration | Ceramic, like Primo | Steel smokers |
|---|---|---|
| Heat retention | Thick ceramic stores heat and helps hold a steady cooking temperature. | Depends on steel thickness, insulation and the smoker’s design; thin, uninsulated walls lose heat faster. |
| Cooking style | One cooker for smoking, roasting and high-heat grilling with the appropriate accessories. | Options include offset, pellet and cabinet smokers; fuel and temperature control vary by type. |
| Everyday ownership | Heavy ceramic needs careful handling and a properly supported base. | Weight varies widely. Protect the finish and follow the maker’s care instructions to manage corrosion. |
Both can make excellent barbecue. Choose by cooking style, temperature control and construction—not the shell material alone.

Custom outdoor kitchens
Your backyard doesn’t have to fit a prefab island.
We offer custom outdoor kitchen work as well as prefabricated islands. Let’s plan the layout around your patio, cooking equipment and entertaining space—including a built-in Primo. Prefer a freestanding setup? Primo carts are an option, too.
Before you choose the finish
Four things to bring to the conversation.
A few measurements and phone photos can turn a long product list into a practical starting point.
Your space
Measure the patio or intended kitchen area. Leave room for people to pass, doors to open and the grill lid to lift.
Your cooking style
Think about your usual dinner crowd, weekend gatherings and whether you want just a grill or a complete prep and serving area.
Your utilities
Tell us whether you have propane or natural gas nearby, and whether the plan includes refrigeration, lighting or a sink.
Your project
Bring photos, your target budget and timing. For a grill replacement, include the current model and the opening measurements.
Final placement, ventilation, cutouts, clearances and utility connections must follow the selected equipment’s instructions and local requirements. Confirm specifications before construction.
Outdoor kitchen questions
Let’s make the choices easier.
Can I buy a grill without a complete island?
Yes. We can help you shop grills separately as well as compare complete outdoor kitchen options. If you are replacing a built-in grill, bring the current grill model and exact cutout dimensions.
Which grill and outdoor kitchen brands do you offer?
Yes. Hot Tub Factory Outlet is a Cal Flame, Bull BBQ and Primo dealer serving Greater Pittsburgh through our Monroeville and Wexford locations. Contact us for current product availability and pricing.
How much does an outdoor kitchen cost?
The grill, island size, countertop, finish and selected accessories all affect the price. Utility work and site preparation also depend on the project. Ask us for a quote based on the layout and equipment you want.
Can you help me plan around an existing pool or patio?
Yes. Bring photos and dimensions so we can discuss an equipment and layout starting point. For a pool project, explore our sister site, Pittsburgh Pool Company, too.
Are the models on display at both showrooms?
Displays and inventory can vary. Call 412-326-0361 before visiting so we can confirm where to see the products you are interested in.
