I have a similar one from Akorn Kamado. These grills will rust over time. Save yourself money and get the weber off Craigslist for a discount.

I swear the grate needs to be kept in the house and treated which is more work than necessary

I had the exact same one as op listed that I bought from lowes a few years back. This thing is hard to cook on if your smoking or trying for low and slow type of cooking. Hard to keep temps level without it spiking up. If you just use this as a bbq grill you should be fine but as a poster above said, just get a used webber kettle for cheap and it will outlast this one 😉

Yeah. I've gone thru 3 of these already they don't last long. The bottom rusts and the ash holder ends up loose. I even had a controller with a fan to help the low and slow smoking, and i enjoy using it... but they don't last

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank yakky

Really not sure what people are doing with these to make them rust out, maybe letting rain get inside? When water mixes with wood ash, it is very corrosive.

I bought mine right as covid hit, so its 4 years old now. I keep it covered when not in use and its been great. I've done slow cooks in it and blazing hot cooks, it even makes decent pizza if you get some fire bricks. It will get blazing hot unlike a Weber and it is really fuel efficient. I'm guessing around 20-30 cooks on a bag of 20lb bag of lump charcoal.

I've had this since 2014ish and left out to the elements.
The metal hanger that holds the ash catcher section rusted off.
The attachments on the side can still hold it so it isn't a huge deal.

Water does get into the vent in the ash catching section and since its a double layered it seems to hold the water in there unless you remove it and drain it.
Grease/Smoke buildup occurs so it needs to be scraped off at least once a year.

Everything else is all mostly good.
The grate is cast iron so it needs to be treated like any cast iron item. As long as its seasoned properly it shouldn't rust.
As for low/slow cooking, its hard to maintain 200-250 and I think it will depend on wind/fuel. The best I've been able to do was maintain +- 70degree fluctuations. And that's babysitting it by adjusting the bottom vent.

Overall held up pretty well. I think it was 300-350 back then. I switched to the Auto version a few years ago, and that one I keep covered.

I this deal expired; I was tempted to check. I had this grill and got me started on using kamado grills. This is an EXCELLENT grill btw. Extremely fuel efficient, I could make a huge pack of chicken thighs with only a handful of brickettes. Mine last 4-5 years before bottom fastener wore out that holds the bottom on. If you cover this grill and don't leave it in the rain. Dont overheat it with crazy heat you will get many good cooks out of this thing.
