See all of my Char-Griller AKORN Auto-Kamado videos here! kzread.info/head/PLHIaU2TvJ9WNw_UVMHDtTKkTD6Bt6iLgD

I just assembled my Auto Kamado. Will be seasoning it tomorrow and look forward to cooking chicken on it afterwards per your approach here. I very much appreciate how clear you are in explaining how to use it. It’s very helpful that you have an Auto Kamado playlist. Have a great day!

You are cold. Cooking chicken in front of the chickens.

Chicken looks good. Can't wait to see mine. Just ordered an Akorn Auto Kamado. Assembly begins Wednesday Evening. 🤞😁

Looks great rob love your page I’m about to order one of these auto but I have a fear of what happens if the fan goes out or the electrical controls mess up just want to know do you think I should just buy a regular Akorn or get the auto thanks

Hey Sam, thanks man! Some people use portable charger boxes for grills that plug in.. in case the power goes out. I see what you mean though thinking something might happen - that'd mess up the weekend cook for sure if you had to get something replaced under warranty. The regular Akorn is a great cooker... I love mine and will still use it. But, i'll use the auto more probably when I don't feel like babysitting the temps.

I'm definitely getting me one of those grills. I was gonna get a 980 but I think it's to big for just me and my wife. My question on this new auto kamado is can you use charcoal briquettes or only lumb charcoal. The few videos I've seen is only with lumb charcoal. The chicken looks good 👍. I would love to see a video of a brisket. Does a brisket fit in it?

Hey Rene, thanks for watching! I'm a fan of lump and they suggest lump, but I know plenty of people that use briquettes in kamados. I've done brisket in my other Akorn - the grates are 20" wide on both. Once I find some brisket at a good price i'll make a video on this with it! :)

Really looking forward to more cooks. I’m interested in the low and slows. I’m sure you have some coming. Thanks!

If you needed to do some chicken breast, would you leave on with the dark meat (at the same temp) or maybe drop temp 25 degrees & do separate?

If you want to cook without electric altogether (same as the Akorn) is it doable with the Auto Kamado?

@RobsBackyardBBQ

Hey Jeff, I was thinking about this yesterday when I was running it. After my cook I turned off the power and tried to keep the heat going with just the top vent - the temps dropped since there is no flow on the bottom vent unless the fan is on pushing the flap open.
