- AKORN Jr Charcoal Grill and Smoker Ceramic Smokin' Stone Accessory for Low-and-Slow Indirect BBQ Smoking Methods in Ivory, 11.75" L x 11.75" W, .75" H, Model 6211

I was really impressed by how well it worked. It turned my little Akorn Jr. into a legit smoker — helping regulate the heat and deliver that deep, smoky flavor I was hoping for.For such a compact setup, the results were surprisingly good. The stone distributes heat evenly and prevents flare-ups, which made a big difference in the quality of the final cook. Definitely worth it if you’re trying to get the most out of this small but mighty smoker.

The most important thing about this stone is to not put it on a wet, or on an already hot fire. All the stones will crack. I compare it to a frog in boiling water. Gradually heat the stone up. This fits perfect and the small grill. It reduces direct heat from the coals allowing convection smoke flavor to penetrate the meal. It also works great for making pizzas under 13 inches or 4 to 5 stuffed bolillos.

The media could not be loaded. This is the best accessory for your Akorn kamado-style grill. I would not buy a grill if it did not have this. There is no way that flames can lick your meat and burn the edges. Also, the temperature is more uniform, because the air is forced to flow upwards around the sides of the grill, as in a convection over. The fat comes out crunchier.

This smoking stone is very hard to find in retail stores and there were several online retailers selling this for more than the purchase price on Amazon. After using it for the first time, I see why it is so hard to find. Using this stone was a game changer for me. The first time I used it, I smoked a pork shoulder which came out great! A week later smoked a 2nd pork shoulder based on the knowledge gained from the 1st pork shoulder I cooked and it came out even better (moist, tender, and full of flavor). My family of 5 stood around the kitchen island eating the meat as fast as I could slice the meat. The purchase of this smoking stone was money well spent on what was already a nice smoker/grill. Two thumbs up from the entire family!! Highly recommend!!

It works with the griller for low and slow.

This is a must have piece of the system but it is fragile! You will eventually break it either from impact or overheating.It makes baking cakes or cookies much easier as it keeps the grill temp down and more evenly distributes heat. My wife really likes Steak and veggies followed cornbread or yellow cake cooked in cast iron on the Acorn JR!

love it it is just what I wanted

I use my smoking Stone on my big acorn when I slow cook brisket or cook a turkey so I figured I should get one for my baby acorn Jr since it's become my daily driver so to speak. I cook a whole fryer at least once a week for sandwich meat etc and at $3 a pound from Trader Joe's for an organic bird I don't want to ruin it. It's really like cheating but I don't care because I like good food. Start the bird off at about 350 to 425 then slow it down to 325 to 350. Small hens are usually done in about an hour and are always incredibly moist and juicy. Winner winner chicken dinner! If your a serious charcoal hound then you need to have this for your acorn Jr.
