Thanks for watching Casey! Yeah, you're going to love it - it really does stick to the temp. I did an assembly video also - hopefully that'll be handy.
Rob, now what I’d like to know is if a classic KJ SloRoller will fit in the Auto Kamado so I can get the best of set and forget it with the best of cyclonic air circulation. Hmmm
Any idea how long this will cook low and slow? Did you have much charcoal left after this cook? Can you snuff out fire after cook? Looking forward to next cook.
Hey Jim, thanks for watching! These Akorns (and most thick walled kamados) use very little charcoal. You can easily get 10-12 hours with a good amount in the cooker. To snuff it out, just close all the vents and it should take a couple hours until it's safe to put a cover on it.
Hi, Akorn cooker in Australia here and i just have a few questions about this new model.... 1. It looks like there is more side space / side gap with the new heat deflector (smoking stone), do you think Char Griller should of made it wider? 2. Do you think the old ceramic heat deflector / smoking stone will still sit on the same 3 taps in the new model's firebox? 3. Does an aluminum tray fit on the new style heat deflector / smoking stone? It sort of looks like its concave and not completely flat like the old one? Cant wait for these to hit Australia.
Hey Fenton, thanks for watching! 1. I noticed that but have not asked them about it yet. 2. Yep, thinking that's the same internal shell as the regular akorn I imagine. This one comes with the heat deflector, however. 3. I don't think so - the deflecter does concave 'up' leaving not much space under the grill itself. In a pinch, i bet you could use the regular 'smokin stone' but not sure if that'd affect the heat sensor's accuracy.
@@RobsBackyardBBQ thanks for the reply mate, was a very informative video. 3. Surely the heat sensor sits above the whatever stone you have in there? Might take a little while longer to get to temp because ones metal and ones stone but im sure it wont be a problem. I will use the proper old smoking stone for low and slow (less side gap better heat retention) and use the new metal one for indirect hot and fast. Cheers mate.
Looks like you're happy with your new grill, seems it cooks just fine. The ribs and the pulled pork look delicious. 😋 You know, you might want to leave the mic off and do the voice over again, I thought it was entertaining 😅
Been seeing this grill pop up every since i watched a reveiw on another channle. Now i want one. Ribs looked amazing
The Auto-Kamado did a terrific job on that pork. I bet it was nice to walk away from it and not have to babysit that cooker! Cheers bro!!!!
Hey Troy - yeah man .. made it too easy! :)
Awesome to see some content on the auto! I just ordered mine today. Looks like every time I seen the temp on the auto it showed spot on temp.

Don’t worry about the voice over. I’ve had similar issues. I think you handled it well.
Ha, thanks man :) It made it kind of fun lol
Nice job Rob, great cook to break that new cooker in (even in the rain). 🤘
Hey man, thanks! Yeah, stupid rainy weekend lol.

Do you think a brisket will fit on this grill? if so what do you think the biggest brisket you can put on there is.
Hey Trashcan - absolutely. I've done them on the regular akorn, but can't remember what size. The grate is 20" wide.
I hear you can fit a 17lb brisket on there
Great cooks Rob!👍🏾
