Don't cook any fish in that lovely thing I imagine the stone would absorb that fish odor for a very long time! I probalby wouldn't do hot dogs/ sausages in it either.

Those eggs can be cranked up to like 900F right? Perhaps that would wipe out an lingering odors?

I'm clueless about eggs

Fish isn't really an issue. You may want to wipe down the grates a little more than usual once you're done. Sausage and tube steaks REALLY aren't a problem. Lighter fluid, on the other hand, is a whole other thing.

Bam, nice score and nice food man! An XL for 6 bills with accessories is a steal.

They will have to pry mine out of my hands when I'm dead. Love that thing.

Just curious about the Akron is it a good cooker? I have been thinking about trying to talk the wife into a kamado. Nice craigslist big green egg.

I own the akorn and as far as I am concerned it does a compliant job on anything I throw at it. I would like a BGEXL but that is more of a status thing and if I had that kind of money to play with I would save a little more and get a trailer unit with reverse flow...

The worst problem with the Kamado style cookers is space for ribs. I can fit 4 butts, 3 briskets, 3 turkeys in my smoker I can only fit 4 racks of ribs vertical and 2 horizontal. If you don't entertain with ribs then grab one.
