Acorn cooker

Got myself one heck of a fathers day present.............char grill acorn cooker

Congrats they look like great cookers.

Had mine a year and love it. The key to temp control are the vents. Use only lump charcoal.

How about a picture

Been looking at them myself. Have ya sparked it up yet? How ya like it?

I like it.........made some wings and burgers. Oh and some snake bites wrapped in Italian ham stuffed with salmon cream cheese.

10-4, how is the temp control, curious if it would be as good as the Weber Kettles for the extra money.

It holds temp like a champ. It will burn 4-5 hours on a hand full of lump charcoal, amazing. Small hand full of wood chips and it made the chicken taste like I had smoked it for hours............I like it.

10-4 thanks.

I have had mine for a year and LOVE IT! Here's a pic of a Boston butt I smoked low and slow for ten hrs. It barely burns up the charcoal. Put in one layer about 5 inches high and smoked 2 butts, a chicken, 2 racks, and burgers with it. It's truly amazing how well it holds temp.http://i974.photobucket.com/albums/a...531_153102.jpg

What size grate do you have holding that pizza stone?

15". Think I got it from Home Depot or Walmart. Fit's nicely. If you look on line, you can buy a stone that fits in the 3 slots where I have the grate. Friend had one and it seems to produce more smoke. I have a Kamado Joe store not to far from me. Gonna pick one up!

My grate is a Weber grill grate. 22 inches I think, fits perfect. About 20 bucks at Lowes.

Thanks.......I have stone for it but was thinking about getting closer for the sear factor.

It's 17" not 15". Was at work so I couldn't measure.

What temperature did you hold for the butt??Inject---rub????:scratchhead

225 for ten hrs. Injected with apple CIDER, not juice. Breaks down fat and meat better. Homemade rub. Lump charcoal with apple and peach wood for smoke.
