Charcoal Flavor in a Smaller Kamado Grill

The AKORN Jr. is designed for cooks who want real charcoal flavor without needing a large grill. Open the dampers for hotter direct grilling, or dial down the airflow for lower-temperature cooking. This makes it useful for burgers, steaks, chicken, pork chops, vegetables, ribs, and other backyard favorites.

Because the body is triple-wall insulated steel, the AKORN Jr. holds heat well while staying much lighter and easier to move than a traditional ceramic kamado.

Great for Patios, Camping & Tailgating

The compact size makes the Char-Griller AKORN Jr. a practical choice when space matters. It works well on smaller patios, for customers who want a second charcoal grill, or for cooks who want a portable kamado-style grill they can take on the road.

At 35.7 pounds, it is easier to move than a full-size kamado, while still giving you the heat retention and airflow control people like about kamado-style charcoal cooking.

Low-and-Slow BBQ with the Right Accessory Setup

The AKORN Jr. can be used for smoking and indirect cooking when paired with a compatible heat deflector or AKORN Jr. Smokin' Stone accessory. A heat deflector helps shield food from direct flame and makes low-and-slow cooking more consistent.

Use it for smaller batches of ribs, pork, chicken, sausage, or other BBQ favorites when you do not need to fire up a larger grill.

Easy Ash Cleanup

Charcoal cooking is easier to enjoy when cleanup is simple. The EasyDump™ ash pan lets you remove ash from the bottom of the grill after cooking, helping keep the grill cleaner and ready for your next cook.

Why Choose the Char-Griller AKORN Jr.?
