Perfect for my wife and me!!!
We relocated to Florida and gave away my Kamado Joe Classic, Large Akorn Kamado, Char-Broil Kamander and a Brickmann charcoal grill. We use to have BBQs for more than 20 people. Now, we downside to the Jr Akron Kamado for my wife and me. Is was great to see this grill raising the temp to 550 easily. This is a small version of a regular kamado just use smaller cut of meet. The will taste as good as any regular Kamado. I made a 4' table and we are having fun with it!!!!

Sreious design fail for handle assembly
Serious design flaw for assembly. First part of the assembly is easy until you get to the handle for the top. You can't get the bolts in due to the handle brackets. After an hour, I got one bolt fully in on each side in with a phillips screwdriver. The second bolt on each side can only be partially tightened. The grill itself is good, but whoever designed this handle should be fired! This is not a cheap grill. I should expect better for the price.

    Good as a portable grill
    It is a nice little grill, easy to use and easy to clean. Don't count on it for smoking though, temp control is very challenging, the "smokin' stone" isn't wide enough so apart from a small circle at the middle that it actually protects, the rest receives a direct heat, I had used few layers of aluminum foil to enlarge this area. The plastic protective tip on the chimney broke in my 3rd use, I heated the grill to 500 degrees when the lid was closed in order to reverse sir my steak, when I wanted to close the chimney to choke the fire when I finished cooking, I discovered that it is jammed and after a little push it a part of it broke. That's it, will not recommended for smoking but I think that it is ok for a portable grill.

    Better than imagined, highly recommend!
    What a cute little egg, it's orange! Performs beyond expectations. Holds steady at 225° for several hours for awesome smoking action. Had it up to 670° for a lovely sear on those double thick pork chops. 5stars!

    Let me tell you why you need this
    Let's say you get home late, you've got to grill up something quick, few chicken breasts, thighs, maybe burgers for your spouse and kids. This akorn jr is the perfect size for weeknight meals, I can cook the perfect amount of food to feed my family quickly and efficiently. Because of the size it can get started quickly and up to temp quickly. Next time you decide to order pizza because you don't want to start up your massive charcoal grill, use up way more fuel than necessary just to feed your family. Remember you could be having that amazing flavor of charcoal grilled food with the jr, not to mention there's nothing better out there for the price as well.

    Unit arrived with lots of damage.
    It arrived: chipped, scratched, blemished paint, hinge needing alteration to fit, and grill cracked straight through. I almost returned it immediately, but didn't want to wait and deal with all the hassles in getting another and was excited to use it. I am still attempting to have this company return my requests for a replacement grill outer. After having to alter the hinge to fit and tweaking the latches so they were tight, it looked good, minus the cosmetic damages. The inside coal holder doesn't fit right and rocks when pressure is applied to the grill surface. I like the portable aspects, as well as how efficient it is with charcoal. It does maintain good steady heat when it gets to temp you set the vents to. It is difficult and time consuming to do small adjustments with heat. It isn't ceramic and that is most likley the reason, but due to that same fact it is more portable and not as fragile. It needs to be taken care of and kept dry. I overall like it. I just would have liked the company implementing better QC before sending it out. Damage was not due to shipping.

    Love It!
    Absolutely love this grill/smoker. I was worried that it might be too small, but pleasantly surprised at the size and convenience. Plenty of space for a couple or small family. It's big enough to smoke a slab of ribs (cut in half), a 5 lb pork butt or grill enough burgers, dogs, chicken or fish for a small family. I've already smoked and grilled and everything has worked great! The only drawback if you use it as an everyday grill are the short legs. I took them off and dropped it into a table with a cutout. Best purchase of the year!

    Great little cooker!
    So far I love it! I had a bit of trouble getting it up to 450 degrees to season it but I think it was the fact (beginner learning curve) that I did not use enough charcoal. I did cook a prime rib on it the day after and it came out spectacular! Husband put legs on it so feel that it will be perfect to cook on!

    I'm very happy with this little cooker!
    I went back and forth on wether to order this or not. Saw some reviews that were less than stellar, and a bunch of good ones. I finally ordered it, and omg am I happy with this cooker! Assembly is easy. But take your time and don't force anything. I can absolutely see people forcing things, and then claiming the manufacturing was to blame. Mine fit together perfectly. Roasted and smoked chicken, ribs, brisket, salmon... all came out amazing. Now it is small. And I wanted small to take with us camping. So it's perfect for that, but now I want a large one for the house for cookouts and such. That is if you wanna share!
