Style: AKORN JR. KAMADO-GREY
The Char Griller AKORN Jr. is an impressive compact kamado that delivers the classic charcoal flavor and heat control of a full sized ceramic unit without the heavy weight or high price. For camping, tailgating, small patios, or anyone who wants real kamado performance in a portable format, this grill performs far better than its size suggests. Build Quality and Design The AKORN Jr. uses a triple wall insulated steel construction rather than ceramic, which keeps the weight manageable while still providing excellent heat retention. The locking lid is secure and helps maintain consistent temperatures even during longer cooks. The cast iron grates are a standout feature at this size, offering excellent heat transfer, solid sear capability, and long lasting durability. Heat Control and Cooking Performance Temperature control is where this small grill excels. Once dialed in, it holds steady whether you are grilling hot and fast or smoking low and slow. Adjusting the top and bottom vents is simple and responsive. With 155 square inches of cooking space, it fits burgers, steaks, chicken, or a small rack of ribs with ease. Despite its compact footprint, it cooks evenly across the entire grate. Smoking Capability For smoking, the AKORN Jr. performs far better than most portable charcoal grills. The insulated body makes it easy to maintain low temperatures for extended periods. Small pork shoulders, wings, sausages, and even small brisket flats can be smoked successfully with minimal fuel once the temperature is stabilized. Portability and Practical Use Its smaller size makes it ideal for camping trips, apartment balconies, tailgates, and RV use. The grill heats quickly, uses charcoal efficiently, and cools down faster than a ceramic kamado. The exterior stays cooler than many metal grills, and the compact design fits easily in a car or truck bed. Value and Longevity The combination of insulated construction, durable cast iron grates, and kamado style efficiency makes the AKORN Jr. an outstanding value. It offers cooking performance comparable to much larger units while remaining portable and affordable. With proper maintenance of the cast iron grates, it should last for years of regular use. Final Verdict The Char Griller AKORN Jr. delivers true kamado performance in a portable and efficient package. It provides excellent heat control, strong searing power, reliable smoking capability, and durable construction. For anyone looking for a small but highly capable charcoal grill and smoker, the AKORN Jr. is one of the most practical and best performing options available.

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.

These are great little smoker/grills and perfect size for a couple of people or to take along camping. You can fit 4 large burgers on the cast iron grates and get a good crust on them, pizzas are also especially good done on the grill. One accessory I would HIGHLY recommend is the smoke diffuser which fits inside to allow an indirect heat giving you a more smoky flavor. The grill is quick and easy to assemble and the durability is pretty good as our previous one lasted 6 years before the ash rack rusted out. But it did sit out in the weather under the eaves of our home.

Been looking at this style of grill for a while but didn't want to pay a huge price for a huge grill I won't end up using. Found this one and took the plunge and very glad I did. Perfect size for 2-3 people, easily grill a couple of burgers, a few steaks, a lot of drumsticks, you get the idea. Easy to get started with a lot less charcoal than a large grill. Gets to temperature quickly and holds it easily. My first experience and I didn't need to fiddle with it after using the guide and marker numbers. Requires some assembly, did it myself in about 20 minutes with a philips screwdriver.. Small and portable, good sized handles. Not what I'd call light-weight but you won't need a cart to move it either. Three legs keep it stable on the ground, latches keep the ash pan on and the lid closed from curious hands. I'll be ordering the steel heat deflector and a steel cooking grate soon. I'll treat it well and hope to get many years of use out of it. I'm happy to recommend this grill as an alternative to the larger and more expensive grills.

I've been using this for about 3 months multiple times a week for both grilling burgers / steak and some smoking. I use this entirely at home / not camping. build: -I baby this grill keeping it under a cover all the time and seasoning the grill grate very well and haven't had any issues with rust at all. -the wood handle on the front has a ridiculously thin layer of cheap paint on it so just sitting in the sun for a few hours at a time over 3 months burnt most of it off. I ended up sanding and re-painting it. -the legs are comically short. I get that this is a 'portable' grill but come on. they should've designed it with telescopic/folding legs so it sits higher. I ended up putting some PVC pipe on the ends of the legs -I put on a strip of felt seal on the bottom hatch to help with air leaking. really should just come with a better seal that actually works -the construction is solid steel all around and the lid locks tight every time grilling: Amazing at grilling. the grate isn't big, you can do ~6 burgers or 3 steaks if you're careful. great for 1 or 2 people, 3 would be pushing it. smoking: it's OK at smoking. I got the stainless steel deflector ,you can also get a pizza stone if you don't want to buy the expensive stone that tends to crack. just wrap whatever you use in aluminum foil so it doesn't get destroyed by grease. the biggest problem with smoking is the temperature control. this thing gets very hot very quickly but cools off extremely slowly. so if you light your charcoal wrong and over-shoot 225f it's almost impossible to recover. the best way to do it is to fill up the basket. create a little crater in the center, and dump 5-8 lite pieces of charcoal from a chimney into it and let the fire slowly grow out from the crater with the vents fully open and only closing them down once the temp hits ~180f the other problem is the thing is TOO efficient. you barely burn through any charcoal even over a 6 hour smoke. this thing could probably run 24 hours on a full basket. what that means is you don't get alot of smoke flavor in the meat. the size also limits you on what you can smoke. you can forget a full brisket or pork shoulder, no way those will fit.

My husband loved this! I absolutely hate that burned charcoal that happens when cooking on charcoal grills, so after reading the reviews I decided to give this a shot. I was going to buy a gas grill but he loves a charcoal grill. The food that comes off of this grill is amazing!!!! Just follow the directions and enjoy some amazing meats!

I bought this Char Griller Acorn Jr together with a Supjoyes cover, the Acorn Jr ceramic heat deflector, and a steel basket for easy removal of used charcoal. I was really impressed with the packaging for the Acorn Jr. It came delivered without a scratch. The Supjoyes cover will save you some bucks over the Acorn Jr cover and the quality is very good. The small steel ash basket is well made and it fits nicely inside the Acorn Jr, but I’m not sure that I really needed it, because the coal bucket inside the Acorn Jr functions just as well. The ceramic heat deflector is well made and it will fit snugly between the iron cooking grate and the coals below. If I smoke a pork shoulder on this grill, the deflector plate will come in handy. So far, I’ve cooked a spatchcock chicken on this grill, and it turned out great. I used only 1.5 lbs of charcoal and it lasted hours after my chicken was done. What’s more, there’s plenty of charcoal left over for the next cook. Char Griller recommends Lump Charcoal for this grill, but I found Kingsford brickets to work just fine. This was a good purchase, and I hope to enjoy it for a long time to come.
