Would RecommendAwesome.... did exactly what I wanted, couldn't justify a green egg and this gave the same results ... if it rusts, just buy the part needed and replace cheaper then worrying about a life time of cracks-

This is the best grill I’ve ever had.
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had the Auto Kamado for about 30 months. I use it 4 or 5 days a week. It’s as easy as cooking in an oven. Put charcoal in, light with a torch, use the torch to heat the vent at the top so that it melts the grease that’s collected there allowing it to open. Set the temp you want and open the vent by the fan. It will tell you how far to open the top vent. The more you use it the less you will rely on that information. I’ve replaced the the...

Super Handy for Weekend Smoker
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use mine as much as I can. Very user friendly… holds temp and smoke very well. Set the timer and meat probe and enjoy your day. The only complaint I have, is the top damper, must be cleaned…it greases over and gets stuck tight.. a quick spritz of citrus and a couple of turns does the trick.. have fun!

Top Notch!!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was given this grill for Father's day and I was very apprehensive about trying it because I thought it wasn't going to live up to my expectations. But I was totally wrong this grill is an absolute game changer and my new go to for my outdoor grilling ventures. It's very versatile and user friendly to the point that anyone came use it. I am very impressed to say the least.

Can't beat perfection
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought one of these over 15 years ago and it has been by far the best cooker I have ever had. The sad part is I didn't buy a cover for it and rust has gotten to it now. But it smokes as well as grills absolutely beautifully you can't get any better charcoal griller than this by far the best cooker ever!

Effortless Grilling with Amazing Results!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Char-Griller Akorn Auto-Kamado has completely changed the way I grill. The automatic temperature control is an absolute game-changer! I set the temp, and it holds steady without any guesswork. Whether I’m slow-smoking ribs for hours or searing steaks at high heat, this grill delivers perfect results every time. The insulated steel design retains heat incredibly well and uses much less charcoal than traditional grills. It gets up to temp fa...

I’m in love!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My wife and kids bought this for me for Father’s Day and man I’m glad they did, mostly because it’s way better than a tie and socks 😂😂. I love the charcoal mixed with wood pieces when I smoke anything because the flavor is unbelievable because the temperature is always on point. My briskets ribs and pork not to mention the turkey and chicken are always moist and flavorful.The clean up is easy and simple and the amount of cooking space is perf...

Best Grill Ever!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Four members of my family have bought and used these grills... I love mine. It holds a lot of food and with the temp gauge, I can monitor smoked meats, as I can leave them over night in the smoker (I smoked a whole large turkey).
