re: Grill Deal Alert: Akorn Kamado Cooker with cart $259

I bought one a month or so ago. My first kamado. I love it so far. Very versatile and I can hold it steady at 225 for hours with no intervention. I have read that earlier models weren't as airtight as mine seems to be, but mine is very controllable. I'd say well worth the cost if you are thinking of getting a kamado cooker but are also price-conscious.

Now, ask me in a couple years about longevity. Hopefully I will have great things to say then as well.
