AKORN® Auto-Kamado™ Charcoal Kamado Grill with Digital Control in Gray, Model E6480

This product was a gift for my wife. I watched lots of YouTube videos about other people using this item so I ordered it and when it arrived, It was easy to assemble and started using it the very next day and it does a wonderful job of both smoking and grilling the only drawback is sometimes the Wi-Fi disconnects randomly but as long as you’re connected to Bluetooth, it works just fine and you can also control everything from the grill itself using the control panel

The price is unbeatable, if it's still half priced order it asap. Took bout 1-2 hours to assemble, which was both east and difficult. (My last grill was a pellet smoker) After seasoning the grates I threw on a few chicken breasts since I had the grill hot and they were mouth watering. The easiest charcoal grill I've ever used, just threw a firestarter cube in the lump charcoal and in 30 min I was in the 350's. It runs a little hot likely ver efficient, so watch a few you tube videos to get the tricks but outstanding buy. I will absolutely force all my friends to consider buying one.

Love this grill/smoker! I was able to pick this up for $220 in early December 2022. At that price, it wasn't even a question. However, my opinion would be the same had I paid full price for it. Fairly easy to assemble compared to other grills that I have put together myself. The main reason I wanted a Kamado style grill was to smoke ribs at low temperatures and this does exactly that. I can easily keep the temperature between 200-225F and ribs come out pretty amazing. I have been smoking a rack of ribs once a week since I made the purchase a few months ago. I've also cooked lots of wings, drumsticks, thighs, sausages, brats, burgers, shrimp, mushrooms and the list goes on. I absolutely love the smoked flavor that this grill produces. Everything comes out tasting great. My preference is good quality lump charcoal (B

Best Combination Grille / Smoker I have owned in the last 30 years, period ! Perfect shipping, packaging, assembly instructions and functionality. The best of all worlds - Temperature controlled charcoal cooking. The only grille on the market I am aware of that does it all, at a great price to boot.

Let's strat from the beginning. Opened the box, nothing was dented or scratched. The instructions had to be the best I've ever seen for a BBQ. All you need for assembly is a Philips screwdriver. That's it! Amazing. Went together in about an hour. That's unboxing and assembly. Put some charcoal in it and oiled the grill top to season the grill worked perfectly. First thing I cooked on it was a Boston butt. Did an amazing job on it. This thing is so easy to use and get going holds it temperature very well. I do a lot of BBQ and I hate to say it but this thing has made me say good bye to the weber.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] In bought this probably about 7 years ago. we break it out every time we smoke grill wings. so basically every sunday during the Seahawks season . It has a ton of wear on it but it’s still going strong surviving the Florida heat and rain

I finally got the best price for this grill all i say you can't beat this grill well worth the price i have a few grills and this is the best so far it came packaged well and it looks great 👌 if you want it don't hesitate.

This is my 2nd Auto Kamado. I'm still using the first, but it's beginning to wear out from age and use. I received an email from Akorn about a one day flash sale for the Auto, so I jumped on it. Needless to say, I feel that this grill is fantastic, and suits my cooking style very well. Can't see myself using anything other grill.

Great grill for everything from low and slow to hot and fast! We do pizza at 700! Go slow firing it up, one firestarter and let go open for 3 to 5 minutes. Then open damper to what controller recommends. Close the lid and the controller does the rest. (Mine runs a little hot so I go just a bit under what it says). Join the Auto Akorn Facebook group for tips advice and great ideas! Great miser of charcoal! When finished cooking close lid and damper and you'll have charcoal for next cook

The kamado cover came in with a big dent. I returned and re-ordered but to my surprised the second kamado also came with same exact dent. After investigating, I’m certain that it is the way this product is packaged. The third leg inside the box is what is causing the dent. I have the original Akorn to compare and I find that the quality on this is not as good. Out of the box the seal between the cover and the body has some spot where it is not glued. Besides the big dent, there are small dimple dents on the body. I was able to connect the app with controller with bluetooth but the wifi, while having great signal shown in the app, will not connect. This limits the monitoring if the temp within bluetooth distance. The app is not ready and require further development. I like that it came in with the deflector. I like that there is no guessing how to reach and maintain temperature. Overall, it was very promising in paper but didn’t quite deliver.
