I've been working with my Akorn for a couple of years, but I've never had the results like today's.
After following instructions about the Tip Top Temp from Lost Arrow, I was able to hold a temp of 300* for over 3 hours. Noting my success, I adjusted the dial to hold 350*. It climbed and has held at 350* with no deviation for over 4 1/2 hours. It is still holding so I am just letting it go till the coals burn out. I'll be checking later.
Thanks, L A, for giving me control of the Akorn. Now I have and set it and forget it cooker when I want one.
Thanks, Deb, for giving me the T T T for Christmas.

Nicely done Jaxon! :)

I've got one, but I can't get the thing to stay on my Weber grill. So it is with the rest of my "non-used, HAVE TO HAVE accessories in storage! 8) ;D

I have the PitmasterIQ...IQ110 and it works perfectly. Set it and forget it. My Akorn purrs along at whatever temp I set. :)

Mike, I also use the T T T on the Weber. In fact, I got one because of the way Terry used it at the Cookout with Bremer last fall. It just sits there - kinda loose - and does its job. I have to take it off when I open the grill, but I like the way it holds the temp.

I tell you Jack , Debs a great lady for sure.
I use my TTT pretty often. It works very well after a little practice and knowing about how many coals to use. (Something I do by site not by counting coals). I have considered mounting it but I also use the vent so maybe maybe not... I also thought about mounting a ring of sorts to the grill that the TTT could just sit in or on when I want to use it. But I've been kinda lazy lately.

With the picture hanger mount system it's like the TTT was made for the Akorn.
20 sec to mount, stays put when opening lid & 20 sec to unhook

I'll be doing a chicken in the Akorn tomorrow. Haven't used it in a while but after learning the "secret" I am looking forward to it.
Thanks again
