Very nice test. I’ve had a pellet grill for years but looking to go back to charcoal. As much as I like the size of the 980, the lack of fuel efficiency is kind of a deal breaker. I’ve heard the auto acorn can run for 20-24 hours on just one full of charcoal. So I’m leaning that way.

@ramtuff111

Thanks for checking us out! They are both pretty efficient running grills. I can easily get 14 hours in my Gravity 980 but it also depends which fuel you decide to run on.

My 980 temp runs about 50-75°cooler than what the temp controller displays. I was very frustrated with it for several cooks before putting an independent temp probe at grate height. I can then use the actual temp to dial up the controller to where I want to run the chamber. That was disappointing but with the LSS fan mod, and upper rack extension its been great for brisket, ribs, and chicken.

@ramtuff111

50-75⁰ less sounds like a defect. Maybe a bad controller? I would reach out to Char-Griller and see because that is in no way normal.

I have a MB and I think the CG has better build quality, if I could go back I'd go with it instead.

I went from a akorn jr to a 980. Did a 15lb pork butt on a pan with a rack. Went 275 for three hours, sprayed it down went another hour, then wrapped it in butcher paper left it on overnight. Took 16 hours. Rested it in a cooler for three hours, shredded it and added a 2to1 (1cup sauce to 1/2 cup a/c vinigar)ratio of blues hog sauce to apple cider vinegar. Best pork ever for me. The neighbors are buying me bags of charcoal so I'll cook three next time ha ha. Could really taste the hickory wood. Had about 2 chunks for every pound of charcoal for the first three hours. Twas amazing. Doing again for tomorrow night for a Sunday feast. Havn't mastered the ribs yet. It's wild how they are beating down the doors for the pulled pork though! Love the 980 .

It would be interesting to see this same exercise while using a grate level thermometer on the Akorn instead of the notoriously inaccurate dome thermometer. I'd guess you were cooking at a grate temperature closer to 350. Those were likely some dry ribs.

Hey Michael! Thanks for checking us out! As far as the charcoal use is concerned... none of them really use too much charcoal at all! They are all very efficient with great heat retention. Smoke rings are more for looks than flavor. Just because you see a smoke ring doesn't guarantee more flavor honestly, just really pretty to look at😉😉 Plenty of smoke flavor from both Akorns. You can't go wrong with any of the 3 and love them all. Good luck on whichever you decide! Cheers🍻🍻

Idk bro.. I think its kinda like auto vs fire control so you gotta set o.g at like 240 knowing its going to naturally creep up to 250 - 260. ..o.g was probably burning at like 275 and burnt them jawns up 😅😅

I am looking at buying a Kamado unit but the ceramic ones are so so much more expensive than the Acorn. Kamado Joes run $2000 - $3000. i like the idea of that auto fan Acorn, but reading a ton of reviews, they will fail at some point. Then what??? You can't just pull the fan and go back to the old system. Now, I am think the regular Acorn Kamado for what? $330... My thought is that your cook had to have had different temps and the regular Acorn meat looked to be underdone??? Maybe the older Acorn seal was worn and no longer tight???

@ramtuff111

Жыл бұрын

What's up Jay? You can't go wrong with either Akorn if you ask me. As far as the cook went...I was spoiled to the 2 automated ones and didn't realize I was still using the O.G Akorn, so the temp got away from me a bit. The Auto ribs were damn near perfect. Char-Griller stands behind their products with a good warranty and even if it fails which all electronics do at some point..a replacement fan shouldn't be too expensive. But if you just want Kamado style cooking... I'd highly suggest looking into the original Akorn. Cheers🍻🍻
