Char-Griller 6201 AKORN Kamado Grill Smokin' Stone, Ivory

This thing is fantastic, it worked exactly as it should and kept my bbq at 225. It fits my smoker perfectly and it's a little thicker than I expected but that's a good thing. Seems like it should last a long time if it's taken care of well. All in all, I am extremely pleased with the quality of the product.

Use it for the first time last weekend and it was great kept my temperature consistent and low with out any flare-up, and fit perfectly really liked it.

Works great for flare ups a deflecting the flames.

This is the smoking stone for the Akorn Kamado. It fits perfectly and works very well as expected. The only thing that would make it better is if it was included in the grill kit, instead of having to buy it separately.

This is a great stone and works as advertised. I highly recommend using a drip plate on top of the stone. Also, a lot of people talk about them breaking. I think that a lot of that is a quick change in temperature. Don't pour cold marinade on the meat and on the stone when you are cooking at high heat--it will crack it.I would like to say that Brookstone was amazing during this purchase. The first one I bought came in a box that looked like it was put in a rock tumbler and then beaten with a sledgehammer. Accordingly, the Smoking Stone was broken into 20 pieces. I contacted Brookstone through the Amazon return process, and they got back to me on the same day asking if I wanted a refund or new stone. they sent the new stone out immediately. The next one came in one piece and has worked great!Brookstone is a great Amazon seller with terrific support in my experience!

This stone levels up your smoking game. Keeps the meat from the fire. I need to get another one.

I purchased this stone for my Akorn Kamado Grill - and it definitely does the job well.I don't really cook pizzas on it - so I kinda wish it was made of some type of metal so I won't accidentally break it someday.If you cook pizzas on your grill but don't want to put a pizza stone on it - this will double as that.I don't, so if this was metal, I would feel better about its longevity.As it is - I'm worried about breaking it because I am admittedly a clumsy person.So far though, it has performed exactly as I'd hoped, and as long as I don't inevitably break the damn thing, it really helps me with my longer, slower indirect cooks.What I do is, I wrap it in foil before each cook because since it's made of stone, it will stain and retain some of the fat that may drip on it.I dunno - maybe any fat that drips on it and smokes will add flavor to whatever I'm cooking, but I cover it for now anyway.Overall - for the price, it's a nice heat deflector - I just hope it lasts me a few years.

Works great
