That model is on sale at the Zachary Home Depot for $165. I have an electric smoker and a gas grill but have often looked at the Kamado style grill, is this the way to go without breaking the bank? Tia

I've had mine for 6 years and it still works great. The only issue was the thermometer is not that accurate, but I never relied upon it I used my Maverick digitals. While it is not ceramic it holds the heat well and works just as well as my father's BGE. For the price you can't go wrong.

Ive heard good things.
It wont hold heat quite as well or last as long as a BGE but cost difference makes it worth it I suppose.

I had one and held a steady temp for 10 hours. Just have to figure out the airflow.
Great starter unit.

For that price, it's a no-brainer. If you can keep it out of the elements, do so. I had one a while back and it lasted about 4 years out in the elements. It is a really good cooker, regardless of the price. Go for it.

i really liked mine
treated it like shite and still got about 6 years out of it
i moved on to a ceramic now, but I used the akorn to learn whether or not I liked the kamado style grills

Do you have a large family? If so get a Big Green Egg or the big Kamado Joe.
If small get a Kamado Classic.
The Akorn is a cheaply made.

I have the regular sized one and the Jr. I like it because it is low on charcoal consumption. Getting the temps right takes practice though. The Jr. is great to sear steaks on because it gets hot fast and you can stop the burning of charcoal when you're done.
