Char-Griller Akorn Jr
The short version
Tabletop version of the full-size Akorn. Steel body, kamado-style cooking, fraction of the weight of a ceramic portable. Pairs well with tailgates, camping, and small balconies.
Pros & cons
- + Lightest serious kamado-style cooker on this list.
- + Cheap enough to be a no-regret second cooker.
- − Tiny grate — one-or-two-person cooks only.
- − Same wind-sensitivity issues as the full-size Akorn.
Who should buy it
Anyone who wants kamado-style cooking on the road on a budget.
