lots of reports of the Akorns failing in under 2 years due to rust.quote:Originally posted by thumperfbc:
I once bought a “Char-Griller” AKORN at Walmart. This was several years ago. It’s a Kamado style grill. I didn’t keep it long as it wasn’t the style I ended up wanting.
Walmart online has a 20” one for $300 still.

Honestly, a $150 22 inch Weber kettle grill using the charcoal snake method is all you need.
I’ve made pretty damn good ribs, brisket and pork butt on a Weber using that method.
I put a chunk of wood every few inches too, keeps the smoke going
You can also buy the ceramic inserts to make it a kamado style for like $90.

The top vent assy pops off, it has spring fingers holding it on. take out the center bolt, IRRC the hex is 10 mm under all the grease. The new spray Dawn and a wire brush works well to clean it, or the larger parts can go in the dishwasher. When you get it clean, use a liberal coat of anti-seize on the sliding surfaces. I did mine about a year ago, and you can still move it with one finger.
