Review: Built like a tank - 3 month update after using it at least once a week. So this grill is perfect for 3 people, my son wife and I but for bigger families I’d get the regular Akorn. I’ve used a fraction of the charcoal I’ve previously used in big kettle grills and actually very cost effective to buy this if you’re not feeding a clan. I’ve grilled steaks chicken breasts whole chickens just had to flatten it including hot dogs and brats. This is the easiest cleaning grill I’ve ever owned and easy to empty ashes and grill cools down fast. I will always buy akorn grills from now on and I’ve owned gas and pellet grills this is easy to store and very easy to move around and take to the beach. So don’t look at others grills I’ve spent 1000s of dollars on grills and there is no comparable grill for this price point with this quality. Key points: Assembly was very easy with enough patience and a Phillips head or flat head will work for all the screws. Instructions were easy to understand and didn’t leave any questions and not tons of screws to lose while assembling. Solidly built this is on the smaller side but definitely doesn’t feel like something small when you move it, I feel confident our toddler won’t be able to move this or relocate it like everything else. Grates are cast iron and the best grill grate I’ve owned. One Con: The box didn’t arrive damaged and was delivered via USPS however there’s a quarter sized dent on the back of the top lid. Was kinda irritated finding the packaging undamaged however a dent on lid so they have a quality control issue that needs to be addressed because the foam wasn’t impacted and box arrived in perfect shape so quality control needs to be retrained or terminated. Not gonna return this over a small dent that didn’t affect the viability of this product as the dent isn’t deep and has zero chipping. I would buy again even with the dent because it’s a little tank and well built, can’t wait to use it as we have a big traegar pellet grill that I’m tired of cleaning.
Review: Great versatile grill and smoker - I'm a charcoal guy but never owned a kamado style grill. Got this so I could smoke meat on camping trips, but have ended up using it WAY more than I expected to. Perfect for my family of 4, I've done everything from burgers and steaks, to prime rib, pork butt, and ribs. Some things I've learned: - Absolutely buy the smoking stone for this grill, it's a fantastic smoker. I've got this little thing to go almost 18 hours on one load of lump charcoal holding steady at 225. Buy wood chunks, not chips. I also found a little rack to put in it so I can fit 2 racks of ribs in here. - Like other kamado style grills, theres a learning curve with the temp. It gets hot fast, and holds that heat for a long time. So it's easy to increase temp, but tough to reduce it. Just have to heat it up gradually. With both vents only open only a crack it'll hover at 225 with the smoking stone. I like to start steaks at this level, take them off mid-way for a brief rest while I open the vents fully, and in about 5 minutes this baby will be at 500° to get a great sear to finish. - There are some comments about quality. The initial grill I was sent was dented and I sent it back, but the next one they sent was great. So they might just have some quality control issues initially but once they send a functioning grill it seems to last. I've had mine for over a year and have put it through the ringer and it's been great. - I like that it's double insulated steel instead of ceramic. Because it's cheaper (green egg of similar size is over $500), this won't shatter if it's tipped over, and if you touch it it's cool to the touch (great for camping when the kids may bump into it). Overall this is a great grill and a surprisingly good smoker that I've used to kick out a lot of good BBQ. Fun to use, and looks cool too!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ To grill or not to grill
*by R***Y on December 5, 2022*

Wow! What a well made, handy, extremely sturdy, and handsome griller/Smoker!!! Not only is it impressive to look at (a beautiful cobalt blue, super compact, really cool shape), but it functions better than grill/smoker I’ve ever used. I was told to go with a propane type outdoor barbecue by a number of friends and family members. I decided not to because it would have been too difficult for my wife or I to remove, refill and reattach a propane type tank. With this char-griller, you simply use briquettes and/or your favorite wood chips and easily clean them out afterwards. Using the recommended amount of briquettes, this baby gets up to around 600 F. Amazing really when you see how few briquettes you need to use in order to achieve good heat in this wonderfully compact, multi-functional griller. The char-griller is made mostly of what appears to be a high quality iron. There isn’t a single piece that hasn’t been made with the utmost effort and precision that I can tell. It’s completely functional, easy to assemble, easy to clean. And it looks sturdy enough to last a lifetime. This lovely product has made grilling for us a hugely satisfying experience. We just moved here from NYC where outdoor grilling had been banned for many years. But now that we’re here, to grill or not to grill is no longer the question.
