How Long It Takes To Get To Desired Temperatures

BE PATIENT. The AKORN Auto-Kamado is a highly efficient design, position the fuel source directly in the firebox, and require minimal airflow. This design is sensitive to the activation of the charcoal. Always season your grill before first use.

Smoking at 200-250 degrees takes around 20-30 minutes to reach desired temperature.

Grilling at 255-350 degrees takes around 15-20 minutes to reach desired temperatures.

Bake at 355-450 degrees takes around 20-30 minutes to reach desired temperatures.

Sear at 555-700 degrees takes around 15-20 minutes.

 

NOTE: You will be able to go from low to high temperatures, but not high temperatures to low temperatures.
