Tom, I can’t believe the timing! I’m a big fan of your channel and I’ve been considering the Akorn Jr. for a couple weeks. Really glad to get your opinion on this one. Thanks for another great video!
Another great product review. I actually had put this grill on my wishlist, for this spring, I'm really glad you reviewed it and had a lot positive things to say about it. Nicely Done. Thanks for sharing.😎🇺🇸.
I have had one of these going on 6 years and I have used it so much that it’s rusting out inside from the heating and cooling. Yes I do keep it covered when not in use. Makes great smoked pork shoulder at 200 degrees. This is the best grill I have ever owned but it has a short lifespan.
Awesome video Tom! I have smoking with the big brother (Full Akorn) for about 10 years, but I might have to give Jr. a try. Question, what's in the box, it looks like a new grill?
That's a nice little kamado and a reasonable price. So many different smoker/grills out there I'd like to try. I have a Weber kettle, pellet grill and propane grill. A friend came over and commented on all the grills in my garage. I didn't have the nerve to tell him I'm thinking about getting something else to add to the arsenal. And I foresee a new grill review coming, propane/pellet grill?
Second your comment on b&b.. It's not always available at Ace here in mn so I always stock up when I can. Shame Weber discontinued their briquettes, thought they were good.
this thing looks great, is the dome lid tall enough inside to do beer can chicken? what if you remove the grate and set it on the diffuser plate? (i smoke a lot of chicken this way)
@@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ thank you! I've got a big vintage Japanese kamado I can't use at the moment and I miss it... Backyard demolition going on so it's at the neighbors place for storage... I kinda want this little grill!
I bought a unit called tip top temp for my full size Kamado and once you get the temp set it maintains the temp perfectly but even without that the Acorn Kamado is a great cooker .
I have both the large Akorn & Jr for about 4 years now. They stand up well to the elements. If I could make a recommendation I would drill a hole in the large Akorn to keep water build up & rusting to a minimum. Other than that, very good alternative to the golf ball grill.
Sapphire Blue is the other color , I ordered one from Char Griller Akorn Jr . Took 30 days for them to ship it . I don't know why it took so long ? Maybe had to get it made in China and ship it to the United States and then ship it to me . 😂
I was very disappointed Tom, as you said welcome to the land of grills I said to my wife look at all the grills this guy has. Then you didn't show them off like you normally do. LOL otherwise great video

That's a neat little grill Tom. I like it 👌🏽

I've had a Akorn Jr for two years. I love everything about it except that obvious - it's small - so I'm going to get a full size one too.
Thanks for watching Theodore!

Thanks for Watching Adam! Agreed
That is a nice little grill . It would be perfect for tailgating
Thanks for Watching Eric! You are correct!

Thanks for watching Tom! On the diffuser for sure

Hey Tom. Thanks as always. Do you think you could get some baby backs on here?
Thanks for Watching Keith! In half’s , yes
I bought a unit called tip top temp for my full size Kamado and once you get the temp set it maintains the temp perfectly but even without that the Acorn Kamado is a great cooker .
Thanks for Watching Kevin! I have one,, just need to use it
Where did you get the wooden chargriller pcs.
Thanks for Watching Barry! Got the stickers from Chargriller, made the rest myself
What’s the red one called - I don’t see them online anywhere only see the Akorn jr- black one
Thanks for Watching! Chargriller Akorn

Thanks for watching Everett! Appreciate the advice
How much heat does it radiate onto the table it rests on?
Thanks for watching Chris! It does make it warm, I’d stay away from plastic or wood tables
Where did you get the stand
Thanks for Watching Bryan! It’s from Chargriller
I have the red jr. It’s heavy enough that I’m afraid of dropping it. I believe it’s 70ish pounds, so I don’t consider it portable anymore.
Thanks for watching! Appreciate the information

Thanks for watching Michael! I think the colored ones are very popular. Enjoy!
