I have had one for some time, it's an awesome piece of work. Nothing on the market does it better for the price of these things. I cook on mine every day I'm having meat, fish or chicken. If you want to try char grilling and smoking, you can't go past these for a first try. They can do everything the more expensive ones do at 1/3 the price. Some, like me, are completely satisfied with these and don't make the big investment into the others.
I'am Your Newest Subscriber I Bought That Same Grill Used For 50.00 I Have Ruined Alot Of Meat With Mine It Is Hard To Keep The Heat Down Mine Likes To Stay At 400 Degrees
Thanks for subscribing! I usually start choking down the vents when mine gets about 200 degrees. It will definitely spike on you. If you use a heat shield. You can put a water pan on it below the grate. Then if temp rises just add some water to pan. That should bring temp down.
Steaks that were 90 degree temp was because top half of the grill had all the heat @ flames where bottom half was way cooler. Should have moved steaks from top to bottom half way thru cook. High heat @ 3-4 minutes on each side @ I'm good . 💥 💯
Notice how we never did see the finished temp on those steaks. The thermometer was pulled out of the meat on one of them when it was clearly going to surpass 150 C. 😂
Nice work man, what kind of paint did you use to restore your grill? Also, the seals you used? I have an old acorn and would like to restore mine, you restored yours like it came out of the shelf. Awesome work.
man it looks good great job on the grill real good job on grill marks she likes it over cooked lol i just knock off the horns wipe its ass and throw it on the plate lol great job man keep the videos coming
You're a good man cooking those steaks to medium well for your wife..... although ii did make me cringe to watch those good cuts of meat go to waste like that. Maybe next time get her a pork chop or a chicken breast and then grill those steaks for yourself with some pinkness in the middle like they were meant to be. lol...
Trying out my Akorn for the first time. Couple of questions.. Did you leave the temperature at 650 'degrees the whole time? Did you spray the grate with Pam or anyting? How did you start the coals? Thanks for uploading the video.
I use to think the green eggs was just hype and they were only popular because they are expensive and I thought they was for sure ugly but Praise God for the little Green Egg because when I can grill a steak as good or better than Texas Roadhouse then you better check out what I'm using because I'm not a good cook at all.
What was the process for replacing the seals? I was given mine as well but it lived a rougher life outside so I'm about to replace a few things on mine.
Skylar Kovac I used a 5/8 rope seal (used for wood stoves) and used a high temp, food grade rtv gasket to seat the rope seal. Then I used an Oklahoma joe felt smoker seal for the ash tray on the bottom.
Akorn an awesome grill! You can do most anything on it!
Sir I love your enthusiasm! But that is how you cook chicken not steak 🤣 great video btw

I agree totally. My wife asks me to cook on it all the time. It does such a good job. Thanks for watching!

3 minutes a side at that temp with the lid down would of done it for me. Great score with that grill, fixed it up real good and does the job nicely.
Thank you and thanks for watching.

Does anyone know if you can do two zone cooking in Akorn?

Do you recommend using the smoking stone or no please? Thank you ☺️
I do recommend it. Thanks for watching!

Thanks a lot man! Thus is my first kamado style grill and I must say I like it. Thanks for watching👍

I like Kosmo Q rubs
I do to! Our favorite right now is dirty bird. Thanks for watching
Give me a bite of that. Lol no it looked really good and I absolutely love my Akorn
I love my Akron too! Thanks for watching!

How did you start the coals?
Thanks for uploading the video.
Yes I left the vents open and I did spray the grates and I start the coals with weber or royal oak starters. Thanks so much for watching!
The only thing I do differently is keep the lid closed. They will drop top end temp quick. For a less Smokey taste, use the deflection ceramic.
Love it! I always have that one steak that's not quite done! Funny! 🤨👍
That’s for sure🤣
Thanks for watching!
Looks over cooked
It looked brand new good job on the grill
Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Nice! What seal is that?
Thanks, it’s actually a door seal for a wood stove. I picked it up at a local hardware store. I used high temp rtv gasket underneath to hold in place.
nicely done
Thanks👍👍

@@wvgrillbilly oh ok I might have to give that a shot. Thanks for the reply!
Looks new!!
Meat should ALWAYS be cooked completely!
Disagree
This is just factually incorrect
I dont care what either of you think, its my opinion.....leave it at that!
Is this hikock45?
Hahaha
