We'd never used a Kamado-style grill until testing out the Char-Griller Akorn Jr., but this grill design quickly won us over. A typical Kamado grill is egg-shaped and insulated by thick ceramic sidewalls, which boosts heat retention and grants you the versatility to smoke at 200℉ or sear at 700℉. The Akorn Jr. is not ceramic, however — Char-Griller has instead substituted triple-walled steel, which is how they can offer this heat-efficient grill for a fraction of the cost of traditional Kamado grills. Though the pan is only sized for a small coal bed, we were still able to sear steaks at 500℉ within minutes of getting the coals up to temperature.
There was definitely a learning curve regarding temperature management with this grill — once it gets heated up, it's a challenge to get it to cool back down quickly. Out of all the grills we tested, this one has one of the smallest cooking surfaces, and it was challenging to find a spot on the edges to move the food to so it wouldn't burn as we were figuring out how to control the heat zones correctly. If you are looking at the price-per-square-inch of cooking surface, the Akorn Jr. could be considered costly. However, with its capacity to grill, smoke, sear &#40;and possibly bake&#41;, it becomes clear that this is a small but mighty charcoal grill. If learning a new style of grilling seems daunting, Char-Griller includes helpful instructions suggesting damper adjustments to achieve the ideal temperature for whatever type of cooking you are doing.

 This is really good to see because it's very well packed and when you order something you do want it arriving at your house you know in a perfect condition and then down in the bottom we have the mystery box and I do not know what this is so we'll open that in a couple of minutes. Pretty heavy, more hardware I'm assuming so we'll check that out and then we have another piece here that there is going to be going on the inside of the bottom and I'll just give a a little show of this. Very nice. I'm really impressed with the build quality

 Walk those down, don't over tighten, that's it. That's how easy it is to put all those leg pieces on. So at this point I have put on the main handle two pieces of hardware. Here there are two screws on each side and then you slip this in

 Nice! That's pretty well built for something in the $200 range in Canada I'm very impressed. So there that there's that little piece more styrofoam in here.

 Great! You just line that up and it fits perfectly. just like that and then our last piece this here. line that up and there we go and that's it. Close it down you are ready to go! Hey everybody this is a little while later you can see This is my first time using this really nice grill

Char-Griller Akorn Jr Kamado Kooker Charcoal Grill Unboxing and Review

Initial Impression is good with a couple design flaw caveats.

Akorn Kamado is awesome!

 Almost threw away the main grill grate. Its packaged underneath the very bottom styrofoam packing with no protection other than the cardboard. Mine was fine when I found it, but I can see these arrive cracked from rough transport.  The handle attachment is poor

I already have one of those big 300lb beasts of a kamado cooker and wanted something easier to fire up and clean for a quick 2 person dinner or a few burgers and this seems to fit the bill. There are similar all ceramic mini-eggs out there, but they are pricey with smaller cooking surfaces and super heavy. This hits the sweet spot of affordability, larger cooking area and easy to move around without pulling something.  POSITIVES One of the best features of this unit is the removeable ashpan

 This hits the sweet spot of affordability, larger cooking area and easy to move around without pulling something.  POSITIVES One of the best features of this unit is the removeable ashpan. The combination of the middle hanger and the 2 quick release clips on the edges make it easy to clean and prevent the pan from accidentally falling off when you release the clips. You'll need to spin the pan a 1/4 turn to pull it out from the front since the legs get in the way of the handles, but its really easy once you figure it out

  NEGATIVES Packaging was a bit poor. The inner liner has a spot rubbed away by one of the feet on the firebowl about the size of a quarter. Not enough damage to warrant a return but irritating nonetheless. I'll just add a little oil on it on the first season

Good value for the price

 After that the temp slowly started climbing. When it got to 280 deg, I did my first vent adjustment. Fair warning, a little goes a long way in terms of adjustment. Over shooting both to the up and down side is easy to do

5 hours getting it put together, when it should have only taken 5 minutes!  Now for the Pro's: Other than for the assembly, it is hard to find anything negative to say about this little unit. One thing to note, this is not a ceramic cooker as you will find with other Kamado tile grills. It is made of steel with "triple insulated walls". However I did not find this to detract from it's performance

  All in All, I have to say I'm loving this grill. It is the perfect size for when you are cooking for just one or two people, which is for me most of the time. You can't go wrong for $200.

 It is made of steel with "triple insulated walls". However I did not find this to detract from it's performance. In fact it is much lighter and easier to handle than a comparable ceramic cooker, yet it was still very efficient and held it's temperature very well.  The unit seems well constructed and looks amazing

Wonderfully inexpensive way to get into Kamado cooking.

Best built, most efficient grill ever

 Keep them on the covered patio, so no problems with corrosion. All I can say for all the haters out there is make a couple of dry runs with the grill, and learn how to build a fire, and adjust the vents to maintain temperature before you begin smoking and grilling food. This little thing will smoke for 3 hours, grill for another 2 hours, and you'll have enough fuel left over to repeat the process.

 Seasoned the grate with olive oil, put in some KJ XL lump coal, and brought it up to 250º, and began backing it down. Snuffed it out a couple of times but got the combo right on the vents, and haven't looked back since! Smoking at 230º with a little apple wood works great! LOL I always put too much lump coal in it! Can't get used to how efficient the thing is! One of them had a problem with the cover gasket, but that is probably because I ran it up to 700º! The rivet popped back into place and seems to be working fine. Keep them on the covered patio, so no problems with corrosion. All I can say for all the haters out there is make a couple of dry runs with the grill, and learn how to build a fire, and adjust the vents to maintain temperature before you begin smoking and grilling food
