    Looking for tip - Char-Griller Akorn Kamado

    Nice thanks for the tip using foil on the latches. I thought it had a little slack there. Been having fun grilling steaks chops and burgers on it so far and playing with the dampers. Looking forward to my first smoke. Only have to decide between couple butts or ribs for my first attempt.

    hanging rib or on grate

    I have never hung ribs on a rack, but did get a rack for my new Akorn to have if needed. I will always lay flat on the grate, only time I will try the rack is if I am doing so many I absolutely have to use it to get them all on.

    Sweet that pizza looks great! I will have to put that on my list to try. I have received my smokin stone and rib rack. Should be trying my first smoke on the Akorm here very soon.

    Question on rub for ribs

    Hey gang, Got a new Char-Griller Akorn Kamado recently, and going to be trying my first smoke on it  here in the next few days. We downsized and moved, and had to get rid of my Oklahoma Joe due to space constraints. I have been smoking ribs using Jeff Phillips recipes for the rub, and love...

    Looking for tip - Char-Griller Akorn Kamado

    Question for you guys, how many racks of spare ribs should I be able to fit on this Akorn? I am thinking 2 may be about all I will get on there, perhaps 3 if I push it utilizing the top rack that sits above the grate  as well?

    Looking for tip - Char-Griller Akorn Kamado

    Thanks so much guys. I have been watching some of the videos on youtube, and am amazed how long one can smoke on not a heck of a lot of lump charcoal with some hickory blocks thrown in. Really looking forward to my first smoke on this thing! It has been too long since I last smoked some meat...

    Sounds good thanks damascusmaker! Yes I have cooked burgers and brats so far but really looking forward to doing a smoke with it soon. My smokin stone and rib rack should be here soon. Thanks,

    Thanks so much for the tips! Just to clarify when I fill it up with the lump charcoal does it actually rest on the edges against the bucket or do I need to just build a pile in middle on top of charcoal grate? Thanks,

    Looking for tip - Char-Griller Akorn Kamado

    Hey gang, So I recently became disabled and retired a few years sooner than planned, the wife and I have moved and downsized. My Oklahoma Joe was just too bulky for our new home, so I have sadly gotten rid of it and recently picked up a Char-Griller Akorn Kamado grill and smoker. Coming from...

    Convection Plates.

    Fwiw, I ordered a custom convection plate from Horizon for my OKJ offset - the way the made it, it just sits down in the barrel of the smoker butted up to the wall and works fairly well. Yes it is bent with a 45 that goes up and then flat out to the wall. But it just drops right into the smoker...

    First Smoke

    I did a rack of spare ribs for my first smoke which was back in June - but I had done a lot of research and reading here on the forums and felt like I could probably do it - and it turned out great. Matter of fact spare ribs is all I had done up until two weekends ago, when I did my first butt...

    jeffs recipes

    Like others I too have only used the rub so far, have yet to make the sauce but I plan on doing so. Last smoke I did was a boston butt - my first - for pulled pork. Loaded it with the rub the night before, and man oh man was it good - especially that bark - addictive. My wife went nuts over...

    What do you use to clean your probes?

    I use Dawn dishwashing liquid and a sponge/rag , have done 4 smokes with my probes so far and seems to clean them ok. Not super shiny but at least clean.  The flexible wire close to the probes is another story, but I don't worry about that too much as I don't want to damage especially where it...
