Yeller:
Saw these in Lowes I think.. Had an CG offset..it was ok sealed rather poorly always had to make mods. The egg style cooker looked solid around. Struggle to do pizza on my Weber 22

Save your money on that Char Griller Akorn, get a BGE or a Primo. head out to Egg in the Desert on the 17th at BBQ Island and see 20 plus BGE going at one time. That's what we did last year. We were lucky enough to get a demo that was available, now I have 2 large and a small. This time we are getting an extra-large. If we are good and or lucky enough, maybe another large.  ;D

not sure why Bob says that. I've been hearing nothing but great stuff about the Chargriller Kamado.

Keep in mind its $299 and not $799 so it's not exactly a BGE but it's a lot lighter from what I hear and is practical to also take camping. They are carrying them at Frys Grocery stores now I hear. Thinkin about pulling the trigger on one myself.

SmoknAZ:
Bought one this week and have no complaints about quality. Not a BGE or Kamado but to see if I like this style of cooker the money was right. Cooked a pizza last night at 500 and held the temp well. Before cooking the pizza I seasoned the grate at 400 and once it was set it stayed right there. Probably going to try baby backs tomorrow. I have heard that low is tough to achieve without tightening up the ash pan / lower vent due to some air leaks. Right now for the money love it. If you go to the egg head site some BGE owners are saying it looks like a great deal. Then you have the others that won't even look at it since it isn't a BGE  ::) .

Mark:
And for years I wouldn't look at a BGE because it wasn't a Kamado. Folks tend to get clannish about their brand of cookers. 8)
