Depends on what you want and your experience. Like comparing a Mercedes to a Honda. Honda will get you where need to go but the Mercedes would be a lot nicer, with a lot more features. Been smoking/cooking with a full size akorn for years and love it, not sure I would ever pay the premium for a Kamado Joe or an egg. Maybe someday, the Akorns are what they are. Just bought my first Akorns Jr. for my camper this year, looking forward to you using it.

Generally speaking, where two items of a similar function are priced at a 100% cost difference, the more expensive item will be more desirable in functionality, build quality, support, and other criteria. HTH.

Got one for $49 a few years back, still think this price is very well worth it as long as you get a cover and don't let it get wet. (rust damage)
For all those on the fence, yes, this is WAY BETTER than a Smokey Joe. The (Sometimes) $299 Kamado Joe Jr is Much better than this, not so much in function per say, but durability and quality is much higher. And yes, I have 7 Kamados in the family at the moment.

Kamado Joe is way better in every way but cost. The question is, do you want to buy cheap or pay extra for quality?

I always thought the Akorn products cheap and undesirable, however I got an Akorn auto kamado grill for Christmas and it's been nothing but great. That being said I haven't tried this particular grill, but seems like a good deal and I wouldn't hesitate based on my other experience with Akorn. BTW I have a Big Green Egg as well, and other grills.

This is more portable, but the Joe JR will outlast and outcook it. Better heat retention on ceramic. The nice thing about the Akorns is they heat up quickly, that ceramic on the Joes really soaks up heat. But it's also why the Joe Jr is better for temperature regulation. Also Joe Jr has stainless grates as the Akorn has Cast iron, so you have to oil them for rust protection when not used often.

I have one had 2 and they are amazing. I love to pick one of these over my other 7ish grills/smokers . You can do a nice hunk of meat on it it holds temps great, can be hard to bring the heat down if you let it get high tho. The top vent has a piece on it that can melt so be careful if grilling at temps near 600 or 700+. Doesn't need a ton of fuel to cook for long periods of time. I did get it when it was on sale for $25.

Have the Kamado, constantly having to rebuy thermometer for it, the insides also crack, need replacement. Isn't worth that $$$ price in my opinion. That said the bigger the better, for smoking or cooking pizza.

Inside I mean the ring, the stuff inside. Outside tough as nails.

I have two of these, Walmart closed them out at 35$ a few seasons back. That being said if you have a family of four this is great. When we use these with guest I get them both running. Be careful, these are not webers so if you open them up for some time or let them burn out on their own they can get very hot. I had one that was well over 700. I have since started to use my flat top grill more often. It is faster and I am getting lazy. If it sears it goes on my flat top. If it doesn't it goes on the used treager I bought. If you like a Weber you will love these. Get a charcoal electric lighter, make it easy on yourself. Temps are stupid easy to regulate if you watch them. It is hard to cool down if you get it way to hot.
