    Akorn Boston butt

    I'm into 15hrs and hit the stall at 195. Hasn't burned much lump at all. It's amazing how little it burns. Last night I did the temp chasing thing , need to just leave it alone !!! That's what I learned last night ! Finally stopped screwing with It and it settled at 235. I haven't foiled it...

    Akorn Boston butt

    Just a little nervous. Last time I smoked a bone in shoulder that was 8lb in my electric mes and it was about 16 hr total.

    New MES Bluetooth Digital smoker

    Did you let it just stabilize for awhile ? Did you leave the drip pan in ? I never check my temps all over like that. I would think it would be hotter around the element or chip basket.

    Sold the MES 30 & Bought a Weber Kettle

    I've been the smoke smokinator route , seriously before you buy go on you tube and check the Akorn out. Or big green egg in your rich. I never understood the love affair with Kamados until I got one. Seriously I'm not bulling you.

    Akorn Boston butt

    I'm doing a 10lb Boston butt in a Akorn Kamado. I'm figuring about 1.5 hours per pound @225 , is that about right ? I bought a tiptop temp controller and tried out all day Saturday and it really seems to lock the temp in. Planning to start at 11 the night before to eat at 4 the next day. Is...

    Electric versus Charcoal - Taste Difference

    Thing about the Kamado is that it uses very little charcoal , u can fill it up and do a 12-15 hr smoke and still have some left over. I never paid much attention to these until my kid bought one. Now I'm a believer. Like I said I'm happy with my mes 40!with the amnps, but it'll probably sit in...

    Electric versus Charcoal - Taste Difference

    I have a mes 40 and it works great. .... But I jus got a chargriller Akorn Kamado cooker and absolute love it. I just wish I had got one of these years ago. And yes I think wood junks and charcoal taste better. So easy to regulate the Akorn , uses very little lump charcoal. I can smoke do...

    Thinking of adding Chargriller Akorn to stable

    My son has the newest model and it doesn't leak at all. I think they've improved it from previous versions or he just got lucky. The cheapest do far is 329.00 I'm hoping they go on sale for Labor Day.

    Thinking of adding Chargriller Akorn to stable

    My son got the Akorn and I am impressed with it. Can believe how it holds the heat and how little charcoal it uses. I have a mes electric that I really love , but I still don't think you can beat the flavor when cooked in a charcoal smoker. I always wanted a egg but just to expensive.

    New MES Bluetooth Digital smoker

    Has anyone noticed were the braided cable goes into the meat probe you can see the wires ? I'd send a pic but is locked up and dark. I'm afraid it'll pull out. I've only used it a couple times.
