I appreciate your time and seeing the process. I couldn't hear your commentary too well because of the music. thanks again.

Thanks a lot. Great video. Really helped me to assemble my Akorn. As others suggested recommend to keep the background music at low volume in your future videos. It was very difficult to hear you with the background music on.

Great channel! I own the Akorn and an Akorn Jr. I cooked on ceramic Cookers(BGE & Primo) for 25 years. This cooker cooks just as well as a ceramic and won't crack and it easily transported for use on the boat and while camping. I use a BBQ Guru with them for low and slow cooks, works wonderfully. I carry the Akorn Jr., a Blackstone 22" Adventure Ready and a RecTec pellet smoker in our 5th wheel.

Hey man - thanks for watching! Just got the Akorn and still feeling it out - check out my stromboli video tomorrow!

This was an awesome video! Thank you for your attention to detail and your patience. I got this grill as a birthday gift and it made me so happy. I'd been eyeing it at Lowe's for months. Can't wait to experiment. I was intimidated by the assembly but, after watching your video, I'm gonna put it together. I'm empowered thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tried desperately to understand how you got the lower shelf on but got hypnotized by the music.

Thank you for putting such detailed video. It was very well worth spending over 40 minutes watching it. I loved it!

Loved the demo. Just got the Akorn and can't wait to grill on it!

Great video..definitely gave me an overall starting point…and I enjoyed the music who is that playing?

There should be KZread videos like this one. Sometimes, reading instruction gets boring. I’m getting a Akorn this week and will use this as my guide.

Great instructional video. Had a little trouble hearing you cause the music was drowning you out. I did like the choice of music though. 😊

Thank you so much. I had such a time with the bottom shelf. Took it apart several times. I ended up having to stand sit on a leg to get them together. Not sure what the problem was but I was glad to see it was trickier than should have been

I bought the Expert Grill Kamado from Walmart that is pretty close to this one. Used your method to season it. Thanks for putting this out!

Great video. I couldnt tell if you greased the top and bottom of the grate does it make a difference? Or is the top of the cooking surface good enough?

Hey Chris - I did oil up both the top and bottom.. wanted to try and protect/coat everything. Since then, i've basically sprayed 'pam' or some other cooking spray on the top of the grate before/after cooks.

Nice looking grill. i'm looking forward to your first cooking review.

I have never grilled with charcoal before so I made sure to subscribe to your channel because I plan to grill a lot this summer ! Thanks again and take care.

I advise using hardwood charcoal. Not regular charcoal. Healthier and tastier. Don't be afraid to use wood chunks over the charcoal either if u want a smoky flavor. Imho.

Hey there - thanks for watching. It seems very sturdy - it'd be nice for veggies while you're cooking meat below, or to toss some finished meats on while you're waiting for another to get up to temp.

Aren't the shelves supposed to go down instead of up? I watched Tom Horseman assembly of the Char Griller Akorn and the shelves went down when not in use?

Hey there David! Thanks for watching. You can do either, but for me it's easier to just push them both up in one motion. Otherwise you're putting up slightly, then pulling out, then putting down.

I'm about ready to buy one of these, and this tutorial video of yours was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks very much for creating it.

Terrific video, well explained. Can I cook on the grates as soon as they have been seasoned? As someone who is not good at assembling things this video made my life slot easier

Your sound was a bit low for this video. Had a difficult time hearing you at times. Good review on assembly though. Will use this assembly to follow for my assembly when it arrives next week. Thanks 👍

Hi how's it going? Hope all is well. Looks like alot of pieces there. Lol

He the gentleman did a good job on showing how to do it this barbecue but the one big flaw he has he has the music going and you cannot hear anything what he's saying you have to just watch what he's doing and for people like myself never built anything never put things together sadly my husband passed away he did everything so this is going to be a whole new experience for me at 65 years old trying to put this together you might want to change your video the sound so we can hear your voice

Thank you for this video. It saved my life 👏

Man you helped out big 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Great video, but the music is too loud🤷🏻‍♀️

Do you not realize that the music is drowning out the talker?

I tried real hard to hear what you was saying in the video but you drowned out your own voice with the music. Otherwise I really did find it helpful.

Great, but background music to loud

Enjoy your videos but This was brutal !!!

Take out the music, it ruined the whole video, couldn’t take it, terminated the video to look else where. But, thanks, your heart was in the right place.

Would be a great video without the constant too loud bad music

Music is too loud to hear you…

I could not hear you. At least get a clip on mic. And, lower the music volume or don't add it at all.

Gave it one more try, now the music is even louder and I can’t even make out what you are saying because you are drowned out by your own music. Music video maybe, assembly video NOT.

Cut out the back ground music - it drives you nuts!

Just had to turn off your beautiful video because the MUSIC WAS TOO MUCH, TOO LOUD, IT RUINED YOUR WHOLE VIDEO! The same beat over and over, it was giving me a headache! Sorry but adding that music was a really bad idea, it overpowered your great looking video.
