New Akorn Model with Table (pics)

[Jason TQ]

Any idea of tHe Home Depot sku on this? I can't seem to get my hd to believe me that it exists and they didn't find it in their system.

Sow them the picture :grin:

That's a pretty sweet lookin cooker.

I showed them the picture and I got what I would describe as a Deer in headlights look. They said " are you sure that is a home depot?" to which I replied " You're kidding right?
I think I will try to call Char-griller today and see if they can give me the sku. If I have time and get it I will post it here.

Ha! That is crazy. Granted there isn't a ton identifiable in the pic, but not many other places have the orange shelves :crazy:. I may be swing by again today if so I will take video for you :becky:

Where did the information about the new model having three layers of insulation come from? I cannot seem to find any references to extra insulation on the internet. If the cooker is not any thicker, I would be skeptical of any claim that the wall structure has been modified in any way.

I mentioned it and dont be so skeptical. I wouldn't make it up.

So I did a little detective work and called Char-Griller. I was able to get both a sku and a contact number to see what stores have it. I havent called the contact number yet, but I will post both things here.

HD Sku number: 104343

Contact number to see if you local store has it: 770-433-8211.

Hopefully this will be helpful and we can see if we can pick one up.

Looks like the same wording as the original to me.


I'll see if I still have my box.

The table upgrade alone is worth the extra $30 IMO... now if they have made insulation upgrades as well...? Definitely worth it.

I love my Akorn ( Lowes version ) I do wish I had that table though. :icon_smile_tongue:

The wording on the box says Triple Wall & Insulation. IMO this doesn't necessarily mean it's triple insulated. Anybody knows what the orginal box says?

I've said this before but I'll say it again, I don't think extra insulation is a major plus from the perspective of keeping temps under control in low n slow cooks.
