AKORN Kamado at 3 years
« Reply #-1 on: April 12, 2015, 11:12:59 AM »
My AKORN had its first cook 3 years ago today (my birthday present in 2012)
Holding up pretty well.
On my second cover , sits in the sun & the Mississippi UV earts grill covers.
The wooden handles on the ash pan burned up & on my second set of gaskets ( operator error)
Has survived 2 grease fires !
Interior still in good shape & nothing has rusted other than lip on ash pan .
Wooden shelves aging but good for a while.
Should be good for a few more years!

Wow....3 years already? Time flies, when you are cooking good food! ;D

Good report LA. The Akorn will definitely last longer in more mild less humid climates. This is a good assessment of its quality.
Got Smoke?
