## Description

Bring authentic kamado cooking to your backyard with the Char-Griller® AKORN® 20-Inch Kamado Charcoal Grill and Smoker. The triple-wall insulated steel body holds heat and limits airflow, so you can maintain steady temperatures from 200°F to 700°F while burning less charcoal — ideal for low-and-slow smoking, roasting, baking, and high-heat searing over real charcoal. With 445 square inches of total cooking space across thick cast iron cooking grates and a removable stainless steel warming rack, the AKORN gives you room to cook for the whole family. Indexed dual adjustable dampers and a built-in temperature gauge make dialing in your cook straightforward, while foldable carbon steel side shelves with tool hooks and a bottom storage shelf keep everything within reach. When the cook is done, the EasyDump™ Ash Pan clears out leftover ash in seconds. A grill grate lifter is included, and 8-inch locking caster wheels let you move and park the grill wherever you need it. Pairs with the AKORN Grill Cover and the AKORN Smokin' Stone, both sold separately.

Review: Four Days of Grill Master Heaven - UPDATE --- After almost a year of use... This is hands down the best grill I've ever had. I's say it's the best purchase I've ever made period, but I'm sure I'd be leaving out something really important like a house or a vacation to Australia or an engagement ring or something. But when it comes to food and cooking... forget about it. This thing is awesome. Here's why... everything you cook on it comes out good. Literally it seems impossible to mess-up. Get the grill too hot, the food just gets done quicker, but it still rocks. Dont' add enough coals and it's not warm enough... just give it more time or add coals right mid-cook... no problem... it comes out right. It's also very spacious; room for tons of food when you're cooking a week's worth in advance or having a few people over. I just love it. Some people say the Big Green one is better. I can't imagine how it could be. It's also held up very well in my harsh salt-water environment. So far it's pretty much like-new, or it would be if I'd clean it real good. ORIGINAL REVIEW BELOW ---> It's been four days since the Big Red Egg arrived. Possibly the best four days of my life? That might be an exaggeration but hey, that's how this grill makes me feel. Obviously I love it. My real concern when buying a grill online was that I would be displeased with either the quality of construction and/or materials and/or that the cooking area would be too small. Neither is the case. The construction is top quality and the cooking area is huge. Everything I read in the other reviews here pretty much turned out to be true. It cooks fast if you want it to, slow if that's what you want. I haven't had any trouble keeping a low temp as long as I start with a very small pile of charcoal, like maybe what would fit in the bottom half of a 2-liter drink bottle. More than that and it does get tough to stay below 300F. In four days I've smoked mullet, cooked two london broils, done some amazing chicken breasts in record time, and slow cooked a Boston Butt. Oh, and I also used it to season a cast iron skillet... why I've never done that on the grill I'll never know. It was much nicer than filling the house with smoke and the skillet seams seasoned better than ever. Maybe because I was able to recoat it with oil a couple of times during the process. The warming rack is awesome and the main cooking area is huge (20" diameter). I took the advice of another review and purchased the wireless thermometer which shows both the grill temp and the meat temp. That was nice. I used it for making some of the best baked potatos ever (forgot to list them above) 222 degrees for a great baked potato. I'm going to order the pizza stone and I'll try to remember to come back and update as more time passes. Assembly was easy and took about an hour. I bought the red one and it looks great. The metal side shelves are sturdy and the wheels seem sturdy as well. So far, I couldn't be happier. Regarding the title... I know you probably thought YOU were the Grill Master... sorry. Maybe before, but now that I have my Big Red Egg, I'm unstoppable.
Review: Love it! - I am still learning as I go but I really enjoy cooking with it and the food is yummy. First a few minor complaints - The device they give you to lift the center grill doesn't work well at all. It hardly fits between the grates and needs two hooks to be useful. Also, the removable center section of the grate used to add more coals can easily drop through the opening and down into the coals. This happened the first time I used it and it was difficult to retrieve without burning the skin off your hand. I eventually resorted to long handle pliers to get it out. Now for the plus side - It was relatively easy to assemble and fortunately not nearly as heavy as a BGE or other ceramic lined cookers. I was able to set it up myself on the patio without help from others. It has a porcelain lining and appears to be insulated with some fiber like rock wool between the liner and the outer wall. It does say not to exceed 700F which is hot enough to cook just about anything including pizza and steaks. You can also maintain a steady temp of 200-250F which works well for smoking and slow cooking. I have to admit I was a little skeptical about this purchase since similar grills are 2-3 times more expensive but I am very happy with my purchase. Hopefully it lasts a long time. One last note - You are not supposed to use lighter fluid or self lighting charcoal, in fact they specifically recommend using only lump charcoal. If you want a low temp fire for smoking then you just want to light the top coals. Otherwise I use a chimney and get them all going at once. The first time I wanted to use it as a smoker I didn't have any of the recommended starters so I used my propane torch I have around for the occasional plumbing task. It works fantastic and takes about a minute to get the top sufficiently burning. If you decide to go this route just be sure to purchase a torch that will burn when inverted such as the BernzOmatic TS4000. Update after two years of use: This grill is fantastic and holding up extremely well. I purchased their cover and always cover it after use. I also purchased their indirect stone and a pizza stone from Emil Henry. Just be careful when starting the fire not to overshoot your desired temperature as it takes a while to bring the temp back down. Also, use Royal Oak hardwood lump charcoal (sold at Home Depot). I tried a bargain brand from BJ's and hated it. It looked the similar but seemed to have a much higher moisture content. As a result, it didn't light near as easily and sparked a lot when starting up. Happy grilling! 11 years later and my original one succumbed to the elements. I purchased a second one and still love it

## Questions & Answers

**Q: The cooking grate is cast iron, do I need to do anything to season it?**
A: Yes. Take a thick slab of freshly cut onion, (some say a big slice of potato works as well) and rub it through out the grill. Do it before each session, and the grate will not stick and will look  . . . eh  . . . grate. The juices react to the high temps and prevent staining and sticking. One of the top chefs in Chicago swears by this. Having tried it, I use it every time I grill.

**Q: How is it in terms of smoking by itself?  I saw there are a few aftermarket stones, but are they even necessary?**
A: I have three other smokers but this is replacing them except for large smoker because it can do more volume. The acorn works great. Definitely get the smoke stone and the pitmaster 101. It's the best way to smoke and keep temp constant. Example I'm smoking a one pound piece of pork belly that's been bringing. It'll smoke at 225.  Yesterday I made belly burnt ends then let the komodo heat up to 400;for shrimp skewers. It's definitely worth the money. If you want to know more just contact me. BBQ ers help each other. I have at least 35 years BBQ smoking experience. Enjoy. Peter

**Q: How do you add coals or lump coals while you are slow cooking a big peice of meat for 8 hours ? the only place I see to add coals is through top ?**
A: I have had this grill for over a year and have done a few brisket and Boston butt roasts.  I have never used any lump charcoal because I still had a load of briquette I bought on 50% off sale from Home Depot.  I have never had to add charcoal for the brisket low and slow cook, 8 to 10 hours long.  Set at 225 degrees it would easily go the entire cook without need to add coals.  The thermal efficiency with this smoker is amazing.

**Q: How difficult is it to clean the old ashes from this grill?**
A: I used to take the bottom off. But it was a bit of a hassle getting it back on. So now I just take the lower great out and scoop out about 2/3 of the ashes leaving some there so that the next fire will have a residual bed. It's the same message you use when cleaning out a wood stove you don't want to take all the ashes because then there's nothing there for the next fire for the coals to nest.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best way to get into Kamado grilling.
*by B***S on December 20, 2025*

I'm impressed with the quality of this grill, and it's bigger than I expected. If you're on the fence about ceramic-style grills, don't hesitate—these are awesome. This is actually my second one. My first was a Brinkmann, which was great and lasted five years, but it wasn't built to the same standard as the Akorn. I highly recommend watching some videos before you get started. There's a learning curve, but it's not difficult—just different from a standard grill. What I love most is how well these hold heat. Even at 30 degrees outside, they maintain temperature beautifully. They also use very little charcoal, and you can cook for hours without adding more. Another big advantage is moisture retention. These grills keep your meat incredibly moist. If you love smoked chicken, this will produce the best you've ever had. These are a great alternative to expensive ceramic kamado grills at a fraction of the cost. Plus, ceramic grills are extremely heavy. If you ever need to move it, this one is much more portable.
