The quest for the perfect kamado grill continues! CNET has put three top contenders through a rigorous test, including the Kamado Joe and Char-Griller Akorn. The verdict? Temperature control is key, with a magic number of 225 F for slow-cooked meats. The Akorn shines with its ease of use, weight (only 100 pounds), and pleasing charcoal flavor. However, the Kamado Joe takes the crown with its bundled heat deflector smoker system.
