It is best to take a conservative approach as you can always open the air vents to get more in and increase your heat. With this in mind you will find yourself extremely frustrated if you over shoot your desired temp and try to get it back down. If purchasing a Kamado grill for the first time it is important to note that these grills are designed to retain heat.
#Char griller acorn grill manual
The manual states that the AKORN can get up to 700 degrees, the highest we achieved was 650 but that wasn’t an issue for us because you don’t need to hit 700 degrees. Once we switched out for some fresh charcoal we get a lot better results. Then we realized that we were using extremely old charcoal that was not burning well. Our first few runs on the AKORN Kamado found us struggling to get past 350 degrees and we started to get concerned.
Temperature Control:Īs with any charcoal grill temperature control is essential to grilling that perfect piece of meat. While the grill is compact it did a good job of storing food and necessary supplies. On the side of the grill it offers a couple of small tables and below those tables comes with hooks to hang your utensils on. The grate also has holes that allow a small chrome plated rack on a swivel post that can be popped into the holes that is used warming or slow cooking. Inside the grill features a cast iron grate with a removable center that allows you to add coal. The body features 22-Gauge Steel which is high quality and should keep the grill around for a long time. Char-Griller appears to have created a cooker that performs pretty close to traditional Kamados at a fraction of the cost. By not using the extremely heavy ceramic it allows for a more cost efficient product and with a high-quality manufacturing process you are still getting an extremely well-built Kamado grill. While typical Kamado grills are ceramic, don’t think for a second that reduces the quality of Char-Griller version or makes it less durable. The Char-Griller version features a triple wall, insulated steel egg that is much lighter and than ceramic Kamados. Most Kamado style grills are built very similarly because these grill styles are the more modern version of the Japanese kamado, an earthernware cooking urn whose original design is said to be at least 3,000 years old. Once assembled the shape of the grill will resemble the very popular Green Egg, but don’t think that it’s a knock off. From un-boxing to completion, the entire process took a little over an hour. The pieces are light enough that one person can do the entire assembly on their own.
#Char griller acorn grill manuals
If you don’t like manuals there is a great YouTube video by Ken Fisher that does an excellent job of walking you through everything.
The instructions could be a bit more detailed as there was some guessing going on but once you get the concept you really do not need the instructions. Once you have everything laid out, the grill is fairly simple to put together. The good part about the assembly on the AKORN Kamado Kooker is that the longest part of the assembly is just getting everything out of the box.
