Brilliant!
Me neitherStill can't adjust/align the lid properly, ugh.
In Minnesota check Lowes & Menards. Lowes is black with steel tables, Menards is red with wood tables. Keep in mind that my local Menards had last years model with the (not as desirable) thin steel top vent on display.
Just a quick warning, got a package full of disappointment! The ceramic heat diffuser from chargriller only fits the new "akorn" model. I have the king griller from last year, it only has 2 tabs in the fire bowl. The diffuser is designed using three tabs which the akorn has.
The red King Griller from Menards does have the three tabs.
@Triple T, I just pulled the vent off of mine and ran a small bead of the high temp red RTV around the opening. Yours is the new style with the cast top vent, looks just like mine.
Also, you may want to keep watching the ash tray as there seems to be issues with it separating on the outer lip, Mine was doing this by one of the clamps, I just RTV'd that as well.
Here's my new CG Akorn in it's new home. (Yeah, I had a lot of parts left over after assembly)
I have not rtv'd anything. I have cooked @250 and at 400. No prob
