User questions & answers

Question:	How difficult is it to clean the old ashes from this grill
Answer:	Extremely easy to remove ashes. There is a removable lower section. You simply unlatch to catches and slide the entire bottom (ash hopper and lower vent) and dump. The good news is that the hardwood charcoal generates very little ash. To replace there is a guide and you close the two latches. I did experience water in the ash pan (there is an interior metal sleeve around the ashes) that separates it from the shield. I read on reviews this was a problem with someone else. I simply drilled a 1/4" hole and problem solved. I keep my Akorn closed and under cover at all times when not in use, but the moisture comes from condensate since the unit is closed and the moisture is trapped in the enclosure. I am not sure why Char-Griller does not have a drain on the ash pan with a valve. My son has a Big Green Egg and ash removal is a chore since you have to scrap the ash out and there is no easy way to clean.
Question:	How do you add coals or lump coals while you are slow cooking a big peice of meat for 8 hours ? the only place I see to add coals is through top
Answer:	You won't need to add coals for smoking. I just smoked a Butt over the weekend and even through overnight lows at freezing easily held 225-235 for 16 hours (used a thermoworks billows). Out of curiosity I left it going to see how long it would hold temp, finally started dropping at 55 hours. That said I did load the most charcoal I've ever use as previously I'd only done ribs and turkeys, and it was fairly full. There actually were some unburned coals left when it finally was snuffed out by the pile of ash blocking off airflow from the vent.
Question:	How is it in terms of smoking by itself? I saw there are a few aftermarket stones, but are they even necessary
Answer:	I use this grill for all my smoking needs now. I also own a Bradley electric and a propane smoker but I like the results I get with this unit better although there's a learning curve figuring out how to keep the temperature low (keep vents almost totally closed) because once it gets too hot it's difficult to cool down. You do need a pan or stone to catch the drippings to prevent flare ups. Don't spend any money for this, use an old pie tin or disposable aluminum foil pan.
Question:	The cooking grate is cast iron, do I need to do anything to season it
Answer:	Season it just like you would a cast iron skillet oil and heat

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the diameter of the cooking area
Answer:	14 inches.
Question:	how do you season the grill
Answer:	I seasoned the grill using three steps. 1. Wiped out the inside top, bottom, & fire chamber with warm damp cloth. 2. Washed and dried fire grate and cast iron grill. Then brushed Crisco all over and between grates using a light coat and let set until firing up the grill. 3. Fired up grill using 20 Kingford briquets and 3 Hickory chunks and put the greasy cast iron grate on the grill and kept grill about 400 degrees for 2 hours and then reduced temp to 300 degrees and just let her smoke and glow untill group went cold. That's it. The grill is now seasoned and ready to use.
Question:	is it also a smoker
Answer:	Absolutely can be used as a smoker... Just need some sort of heat diffuser and you can smoke like any full sized kamado style grill. Really great and versatile grill and smoker for the size and price. Super efficient with the lump charcoal.
Question:	If used indoors, will smoke alarm go off
Answer:	Yes..The smoke alarm will go off but you won't hear it but a short time. Then you will be overcome by carbon monoxide. You probably won't even hear the sirens from the ambulance or the police. Later on, after the police have broken out all your windows to clear the air. the smoke alarms will go off and everything will be quiet again.

User questions & answers

Question:	I can not afford the bigger grill, I want to get this as a gift for my husband, Will it be enough for a family of 4? we only grill burger and stakes
Answer:	It will be a little small, but with the high heat you can cook at, I’m sure he could make it work. You can easily cook steak in 6-10 minutes
Question:	What's involved in cleaning the used charcoal
Answer:	As for me, I turn the coal bin upside down and and what doesn’t fall out i brush out with a wisk broom. Also, the main chamber will have ash in it as well and I sweep that out the air vent to avoid having to lift the whole grill. I always close every hole when finished with the grill so insects can’t get in and I take the grate in the house and soak that before scrubbing it. That should do it!!
Question:	how much assembly is involved
Answer:	Assembly is very straightforward and should not take more than 10-15 minutes.
Question:	What's the highest temperature you can get with this grill
Answer:	I've easily gotten to 500F, and I never tried to see how high it can go. Normally, I'm trying to maintain a temperature around 350-400, and only got to 500 by mistake, as I let it warming up a little to long and had to take it down a notch before adding the meat.

User questions & answers

Question:	How hard is assembly
Answer:	Extremely easy. There is the lid handle, the 2 side handles for lifting the grill, and the stand itself. No more than 15-20 minutes under normal circumstances. They even give you the 2 tools you need
Question:	Does the heat deflector come stock with the unit
Answer:	Yes it came with mine. This is a very good grill / smoker for the price. I have done 5 long smokes on this grill and it always comes out perfect. Holds temp really well also. Best investment I have made in a long time.
Question:	need instruction manual for Grill
Answer:	Instruction for assembly? Or general use? The stand assembly is pretty straightforward, everything else is preassembled., and the grill sits in the stand. There are many videos online showing how to light and cook on the kamado grill.
Question:	How high does this cook for searing
Answer:	Instructions I believe say up to 700° F. It Sears nicely

SAMPLE RECIPE: Mushroom and Swiss Burgers with Bacon and Aioli

1. Prepare the grill for direct grilling at 500˚F, then preheat a 10-inch cast iron skillet on the grate with the lid closed.

2. Put the bacon in the skillet. Close the lid and cook for 1-2 minutes or until browned and crispy around the edges. Transfer to a plate.

3. Add the mushrooms to the skillet. Close the lid and cook, stirring once, for 7-9 minutes or until browned. Transfer to a plate. Season with salt and pepper.

4. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, season the beef with pepper and 4 teaspoons of salt. Using your hands, mix until just incorporated; form into four 1-inch-thick patties with a slight dimple in the center.

5. Put the burgers on the grate. Close the lid and cook, flipping halfway through, for 8-10 minutes total for medium, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 135˚F. (If using store-bought ground beef, always cook it to 160˚F, or well done.) In the last minute of cooking, top the patties with the cheese to melt and place the rolls cut-side down on the grate to toast.

User questions & answers

Question:	does this unit include the stand and shelves I see pictured
Answer:	If the unit you're buying is described as "Stand Alone," it will not come with a stand or shelves. I believe these items can be purchased separately, but most who purchase the Stand Alone version will either place it into a table-surround or allow it to stand freely. For these purposes, the Stand Alone unit comes with three "feet" to elevate it from wood surfaces and/or to help stabilize it. (These feet can be placed along the bottom in any position along the circumference.)
Question:	I need to know what size hole i need to cut in my outdoor kitchen counter top so i can set it in for kamado joe kj23nrhc classic ii

User questions & answers

Question:	Are there any wifi systems to control temperature automatically
Answer:	Thank you for your question. I am sorry, but Char-Griller does not have any WiFi systems to control the temperature automatically. Thank you.
Question:	How do I clean the grate? After a winter of not using, the cast iron grate is covered with rust. Or can I buy a replacement grate somewhere
Answer:	Scrub with a wire brush and coat with oil like standard cast iron. Cook lots of greasy food on it, below 400 degrees and it will season really well.
Question:	Are these grills the same size as those without the cart
Answer:	Yes same grill, but better with the prep area
Question:	The Akorn at my local hardware store has a warming rack above the grill. Does this one come with the warming rack
Answer:	As of 2017, the model 6520 does not come with the warming rack.
