Gas Grill and Griddle in One Beast. Meet the Primate.
The Grilla Grills Primate is one of the most versatile grilling machines out there. With all the function of a high-end griddle AND a gas grill built into one unit, this steak-searing, hash-slinging beast is the answer to your propane prayers. Heavy-duty stainless steel construction, safe and easy-to-clean grease management, and an insulated hood — the Primate clearly meets Grilla Grills' high standards of quality.
Why the Primate stands out:
Most people end up buying a gas grill AND a separate griddle, taking up twice the space and twice the budget. The Primate gives you both in one unit. Sear steaks on the grill grates, flip pancakes on the griddle, or use the full surface for one big cook. The removable grill grates and steel griddle mean you can configure it however the meal demands.
