I'm already loving this Grill and only cooked on it once! The ease of build and the quality is top notch! Sturdy, solid with the stability knowing it's not going anywhere any time soon. Thank you Char-Griller for bringing one of my favorite grills to the future of backyard bbq! Adding the controller to the almost already perfect Akorn was a PRO move! So simple but so genius at the same time! Now people won't have to go spend an additional $300 on an external controller if they wanted to use one. Now it's built in to the grill itself...absolutely brilliant! Speaking of the controller, it definitely gets better with use. I'm now usually within 5⁰- 7⁰f either way as opposed to the 1st start up which was over 40⁰f Once the temps are settled in, they just hover in that range. Such an awesome unit and I highly recommend it! Great job Char-Griller!!
