Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased the Kamado grill as a option to my Gravity Char-Griller grill. I expected to cook more item that I need direct fire under. The grill performs as it should but the timer\fan unit has failed several times will using. The grill space is great and there secondary grill kit that allows you to take things of the grill directly. All in all it seems to be a great option to regular grills and smokers but issues with the fan keep me from ra...

Awesome grill!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this grill several months ago and it has been so awesome. I absolutely love that I can set my temp and turn the fan on and it doesn’t take very long and it’s ready to grill! Also works great for grilled pizza!! We love it!🥰

Extra features make the grill worse
Would Not RecommendI've owned 2 Akorn Kamados, my first was the standard version with no extra features and this "auto" version. After having used the auto version I wish I had just gone back to the basic grill. The main selling point of this version is a fan and integrated thermometer which supposedly helps regulate temperature, making the grilling experience much more hands-off. In practice the presence of this fan gives you even less control than the basic version of this grill, since the fan sits in a hole c...

Great control!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very pleased with the temperature control. Maintained a perfect 225 degree over a 12 hour smoke session.
From Char-Griller
The best and fastest way to smoke.
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought an Auto-Kamado about 2 years ago and I love it. The onboard fan makes it so easy and the fact that it's a kamado cuts hours of the cooking time. It makes my football season even better.

Finally got things right. It's my go-to grill with
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] You know how they say you should never be the first to buy a new model? Well they're partially right. I've had my Auto Alien for a little over 2.5 years now. I loved the grill's auto fan and WiFi. You start the fire, set the temp and go back to prep until it reaches its temperature. Things started going back with the grill's automation. I'll give Char Griller credit though. They worked through the issues, and finally got things right thi...

The Auto-kamado turned me into Grill-Man
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this as a birthday gift (for myself) and it was such a fantastic purchase. Grilling is great but there is always that problem of keeping a good temperature and with the Auto-kamado, the guess work is over. A couple of handfuls of charcoal last for hours, and with the auto feature, you can set the temperature of the grill, with the probe the temp of the meat. I just started a 4 lob Boston Butt. 7 hours at 225-- internal temp at 200, and ...
