        Comments about Char-Griller Kamado Kooker Charcoal Grill and Smoker- Brown:

        Great enty to the Kamado grill world. Cheaper than "egg" grills but does everything they do. Won't last as long but will perform almost as good. Some air leak adjustments you can find online will fix that. Great grill and customer service...

        Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

        Great for a quick batch of wings. Smoked chicken or turkey breast in two hours. Throw on a couple of baking potatoes in foil and you have a fantastic meal.

          Comments about Char-Griller Kamado Kooker Charcoal Grill and Smoker- Brown:

          I've been grilling for years, but mostly with LP. I've used wood fired bbq's quite a bit, but most of my grilling lately has been done with a high end LP grill. I'd been considering making the switch to charcoal, but was unimpressed with the kettle style grills available and didn't want to shell out over a grand for a Big Green Egg (which I really wanted). My LP grill was ready for replacement and I was pretty much resigned to getting another LP grill and adding a kettle to the arsenal...Enter the Char Griller "akorn" Kamado Grill!

          I saw an ad for this in my local Meijer and after a bit of online research, ordered one online to be delivered to my local store. Delivery to the store was quick and once home, setup was a breeze. My Akorn did have a slightly damaged lid (does not affect performance) but I've spoken with Char Griller and they're sending me a replacement (though it's backordered). There's a website called "kamado guru" that has a TON of great info on this grill including several very minor, but IMO necessary modifications.

          As for performance, the grill's been rock solid. I'm impressed with how little lump charcoal it uses to reach and maintain cooking temps. I think it's more me than the grill, but I'm still working on dialing in an exact temp and locking it there for extended periods of time. For example, I smoked a pork shoulder the other day and was able to keep the temp between 225-240, but not just lock it in at 225. I'm sure as I work with it, I'll get better. So far I've had great success with everything from low and slow smoking to high temp searing...pork shoulders, beef brisket, spare ribs, steak, pizzas, burgers and dogs, etc. I've been extremely happy with this grill.

          One thing I did not think about when switching to charcoal was the smoke/smell...sure when you're smoking something, but keep in mind that even if you're just grilling with charcoal, you're going to smell after. For me, it's worth it for the enhanced food quality, but it's something to keep in mind. Also, while this grill heats up very quickly, nothing's as quick or responsive temperature wise as LP. While this grill's replaced my main LP grill, I still have a portable Weber Q LP grill that I'll keep around for quick burgers and dogs or whatever.

          Overall, I would...and have recommend this grill!

          Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
