    We purchased one of these grills through Lowe's in December of 2025. We discovered on 03/29/26…read morewhen we tried to use the grill for the first time (because who grills in the cold of winter?) that the delivery people had not assembled the grill correctly and left parts unconnected. The delivery company (XDT) refused to address the problem, so we contacted Chargriller customer service. They were absolutely useless and unhelpful and refused to send any technician to fix the problem. As a result, we are now going to have to return what is probably a perfectly good grill to Lowe's, and they will lose a sale. The customer service representative was snippy and totally unhelpful. I have nothing but a very bad taste in my mouth now for the Chargriller company and strongly discourage anyone from buying their products.

    I was looking to upgrade my Volcano Charcoal Grill that I carry in my RV and at the same time I…read morewanted to explore the Kamado type grills. Although my instinct told me I'd likely be looking at the Big Green Egg or Kamado Joe options I had lots of concerns so I had lots of due diligence to do. There's no doubt if this was going to be a permanent solution at home the range of grills to choose from would be much larger however my challenges were the extreme weigh of the ceramic option and also it ability to travel well without breaking and in the beck of my mind I was thinking do I really want to wrestle the weight of a ceramic grill while camping. The grill I am replacing has a 14" diameter grate which has never been an issue when cooking for the two of us so the Char-grilled Akorn Jr quickly became the one I was leaning towards, this steel Kamado weighs in at approximately 33 lbs vs nearly 127 pounds of a similar size ceramic grill and the cost, the Akorn Jr in blue was $169 vs the 14" ceramic models start at $577 plus I eliminate the risk of a fracture while driving down the road and probably saved my back down the road. This little grill arrived nicely package and undamaged - after opening the box and inspecting and verifying all the parts and hardware were included. I started the assembly process. I only needed a medium flat blade screw driver (a 7/16" nut driver or socket would work well too) to complete the assembly. I finished the job in about 20 minutes after following the simple directions and illustrations, all the parts aligned and fit together precisely. After registering my purchase online I was ready to fire this baby up and get her seasoned - the initial firing worked perfectly, the dual dampers enabled me to get it up to 400 degrees and maintain that temperature for an hour after oiling up the grates and reinstalling them. My first impression after throwing a few pieces of chicken on to test her out is that I like it and although I wouldn't expect it to last a lifetime I think for the cost it's a great value especially for anyone just getting into this style of cooking and this is definitely the perfect solution for the RV - no regrets here...
