Akorn vs BGE
Would RecommendI was gifted a schmedium BGE several years ago and became proficient at cooking on it. We enjoy the taste of the food it cooks so much that we decided to get a similar cooker for our lake house. I compared multiple Kamado style cookers and chose the Akorn primarily because of the size and price. The metal construction is very efficient and maintains its temperature while getting up to temperature faster than its ceramic counterparts. I cooked chicken quarters for the first time tonight and have ...

Great temperature control
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought my Kamado from my wife’s nephew about 6 months ago and was able to learn to control the temperature in a couple of uses. Now I am able to confidently smoke brisket. I love the Kamado. But, my pulled chicken is fantastic.

The Akorn Rocks! Best Burgers & Steaks Ever!

Green Egg Overcomer
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased my Kamado grill some 6 plus years back because the "Egg" was just too dog gone expensive. The Akorñ is well built, the grates sturdy, and overall seemed to me to be as good as the "Egg" without the high pricetag. I have smoked chickens, tenderloins, 100 - 1" to 1 1/2" boneless pork chops for a Christmas supper for my Sunday School Class, and grilled numerous burgers and hotdogs. It has exceeded all of my expectations and then some. ...

The best grill and birthday present ever!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this grill 11 years ago for my 40th birthday. I had used it ever since then and I love it. It made me retire my gas grill. It has been one of the best and well built products I have ever owned. I would highly recommend this grill to anyone and everyone.

Awesome Akorn Kamado Grill
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This grill, a Father's Day gift from my wife several years ago, has completely transformed my outdoor cooking. I've gone from someone who just grilled burgers to the person friends and family rely on for perfectly smoked ribs and exquisitely seared steaks. The Akorn's triple-walled insulation is no joke; it holds temperature for hours with surprising fuel efficiency, whether I'm doing a long, low-and-slow smoke or cranking it up for high-hea...

My go too grill
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the second Acorn charcoal grill I’ve owned. I love this grill and use it weekly. One thing I like is you can shut it down and have charcoal left for your next grill. You cannot beat this grill for the money. Well built and reliable. I traded in a Kamoto for this Char griller acorn grill.

Don't balme the grill!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had my AKORN for almost ten years now. Used it for about 5 years and then set it aside for a newer shinier grill. Two years ago I pulled the cover off, and fired it up again. I've learned so much since the first round of use that I now realize now how poorly I managed the fire the first time around. I loved it for round 1 but it's even better now! I have no trouble maintaining temp with minimal effort and no refills for 8 hour cooks. It'...

Akorn
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Best charcoal grill I have owned, haven’t used my gas grill or electric smoker since I purchased this. Great at grilling hot or smoking. Bottom line is I would purchase the same grill if it was stolen.o
