Char-Griller® AKORN® Jr. Portable Kamado Charcoal Grill and Smoker with Cast Iron Grates and Locking Lid with 155 Cooking Square Inches in Ash, Model E86714

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.

Best charcoal bbq I’ve ever used
It can be really difficult to slow bbq meat on a small bbq, but not now! This isn’t just sheet metal, it’s sturdy & most importantly, it works great! I do recommend getting the stone if you want to do low & slow. I can’t ask for a better bbq for a 1 person household

BBQ for two – Romantic
This is the most controllable BBQ ever. You can keep the temperature anywhere you want it from 250º to 700º. You can cook with natural coal, charcoal briquets, or your favorite wood. I love mango wood, and Guaiacum Sanctum (Guayacán) wood here in the tropics. You can cook up to six steaks, but I usually only have two, or one large one to split between us. It is very economical, because it is airtight and you simply shut all the little windows and the fire dies out, saving the coal and wood for the next time. Cleaning it is supereasy, just remove the bottom dish and go dump it out somewhere.

Try it
Easy to assemble, Can reach 699 degrees. BARGAIN!

Efficacité parfait comme un gros bbq

Fabuloso, mi esposo tiene un nuevo amor y no soy yo jaja, nos encantó.

I received this grill in excellent condition. It’s a solid well engineered grill. Im looking forward to using it. I assembled it in about 30 minutes and I’m no genius.I read some reviews before purchasing it. Some found it difficult to get the lid handle attached. I think the secret is don’t tighten all the studs leave them loose then put in the wood piece in then tighten all, and away you go. I had no issues whatsoever with the assembly. And I would recommend this product it’s a great piece of kit to have.
