Char-Griller Auto Akorn Kamado thoughts

Anyone that missed this cooker at the sale price of $224.49 shame on you. I needed one for no reason at all but…..and handed over to the boss the same amount of cash to remove some of the F5 category tornado out of it. The grill/smoker is just as amazing as Tom H says it is. I’ve done the burn...

Do not pass this up again if you didn’t get one. It’s a fantastic grill for the money. I’ve had several good cooks to evaluate performance now and I’ll post pics from the next cook.
 
Just ordered mine!
$233.20 includes shipping.
I've always wanted to take a dip in the Kamado pool, but the cost has always scared me.
Thanks, for sharing!

Ordered mine from Walmart today. I have a few questions, if you don't mind.
Did it come with a cover?
Can you, somehow, fit a drip pan over that convex heat deflector?
Do you you use the probe that came with it to measure food temps, or do you think I can use my own ThermoWorks Pro-series probes with this cooker.
Thanks!
 
It doesn’t come with a cover. A half steam pan will sit on the heat shield that comes with it but you have to push the center up and form it a bit though I bought the stone for better heat retention, I prefer the stone. The original heat shield probably could be flipped over I haven’t tried. I’ve used the factory probe and it was fairly accurate but not as much as my Thermopro. Any separate probe has no problem being used as the lid gasket is very thick and forgiving. I’ll post cooks and look forward the comments of others here that purchase.

According to the review he had to buy a cover.
I'm gonna keep mine in the garage for now but did find a cover on Amazon.

One last question, if you don't mind. Do you know what model? I saw one on Amazon, and it showed the models that the stone would fit, but it didn't include Auto grill. Thanks!

edit: ugh....I see that timothy posted as I was writing this. Same question though.
