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.
Built for Local Backyard Grillers in DFW
The Char-Griller AKORN Jr. is a practical choice for North Texas grillers who want charcoal flavor, kamado-style versatility, and a compact grill that is easier to move and store. Stop by our Denton store to compare charcoal grill options and get help choosing the right grill for your patio, backyard, campsite, or tailgate setup.
Why Choose the Char-Griller AKORN Jr.?
The AKORN Jr. is a good fit if you want kamado-style charcoal cooking in a smaller, more portable package. It is especially useful for customers who like charcoal grilling but do not need the size, weight, or footprint of a full-size kamado grill.
