I have always been a fan of offset smokers but my wife talked me into buying an Akorn. She said I was old and broken down and worked too hard at cookin with the offsets!
Anyway, I bought one and I have to say, that thing is awesome. We considered a BGE but, the cost was a budget buster for us so the Akorn seemed to be the next best thing. I have done two cooks now and I am well please with it's performance and the charcoal economy. I did an all day cook on it yesterday with one load of charcoal. Nice! I did ribs, chicken, a fattie, cedar planked salmon, shrimp and corn on the cob, all on the Akorn.Here are some pics.
