This is definitely a deal on a wonderful budget smoker, especially with the auto temperature control assuming it all works well. I have a manually controlled one but it holds the temperature so well and can really smoke up some great central Texas barbeque! And at a small fraction of the cost at the actual restaurants!

I enjoy my manual Kamado but I end up grilling because the temp always goes high - what's the secret for keeping an extended, low temp burn? I use hardwood charcoal but not the green egg / expensive stuff

Great price on a good starter kamado. I had the original Akorn and used it for about 5 years before my wife got me a BGE. Some things to note about the Akorn:

-It's not ceramic but, instead, stainless with insulation to hold temperatures. It works just as good as a ceramic Kamado.
-Rust on the cast-iron grates was an issue. This just added to the spring maintenance. You can replace the grate with a weber one that will not rust as easily.
-The ash catcher is a pretty good design (much easier to clean than the BGE) but don't let moisture get trapped here because it will rust.
-The size of this is a little smaller than a Large BGE or Kamado Joe. Some of those accessories will work but do your research first.

If you are able to keep it under cover or out of bad weather, it will definitely last longer.

Man, if I didn't already have a large BGE and a small kamado, I would seriously consider this. Love that it has a bt/wi-fi temperature controller/thermometer built in and it also has the side tables.

You don't need to use the expensive stuff.

My suggestion is to practice more and creep up to the temperature that you want to cook at. I use a chimney to light my charcoal and then dump them into the grill when ready. From there, I open the lower vent all the way so the charcoal can breathe and spread the heat. Not sure what kind of Kamado you have but on my BGE, once the heat has spread around and I'm within 25 degrees of where I want to be, I adjust the lower vent. If I'm looking to do a slow and low cook around 225 degrees, that vent is barely cracked open. If I'm doing a steak and need 450 degrees, it's only about a quarter open. Too much vent will make you spike past your desired temperature and it's very hard to bring it back down.

Hope this helps.

This Auto Kamado is about the same price as Thermwork's Signal + Billows that was on sale during BF (I think around $210). Insane.

I have one I bought during last sale. It's a good kamado. Coal burns completely due to automatic fan control.
