Char-Griller AKORN Smokin' Stone Ceramic Convection Accessory – Low-and-Slow BBQ (Ivory, 15-inch)

Upgrade your Char-Griller AKORN Kamado grill with the Smokin' Stone, a ceramic accessory that turns a standard grill into a practical outdoor convection oven. Crafted from cordierite, it withstands temperatures well over 1200 degrees, giving you flexibility when you grill, smoke, or bake. The stone’s design channels heat around the grill’s perimeter, reducing direct flame contact and helping maintain moisture while delivering even browning and crusting. This is not a guaranteed outcome, but a possibility you can explore as you expand your cooking repertoire.

With indirect heat circulating around your food, you can approach low-and-slow smoking with greater confidence. Expect more consistent results for ribs, pork shoulder, and poultry, along with the opportunity to bake or roast in your AKORN. The Smokin' Stone also enables baking adventures like loaf bread, flatbreads, or cookies, opening a different range of flavors and textures without moving to a different grill.

Key benefits at a glance:

• Convection oven-like performance: indirect heat circulates around the food for more even cooking.
• Direct-heat protection: the stone shields meat from flare-ups and helps preserve juiciness.
• High heat tolerance: cordierite withstands temperatures over 1200°F for versatile cooking scenarios.
• Flavor- and texture-friendly: ideal for low-and-slow smoking to keep meat moist and tender.
• Versatile baking surface: great for bread, cookies, or even a crisp pizza crust on the AKORN.

The Smokin' Stone is designed for use with Char-Griller AKORN Kamado grills, including models 16620, 26720, 06620, and 6520. Its ivory finish adds a clean, premium look to your outdoor setup, and the 15-inch footprint with 1-inch thickness provides a sturdy, heat-distributing surface without expanding your grill footprint. When used as directed, you gain a flexible tool that supports indirect cooking methods without sacrificing performance.

Practical guidance for best results: preheat your grill, position the stone to maximize perimeter heat flow, and plan your cook around indirect zones. Start with simpler recipes to learn how the stone shifts heat, then explore longer smoking sessions or baking experiments. Cleaning is straightforward—cool the grill, wipe away residue with a damp cloth, and store in a dry place. With care, the Smokin' Stone can become a reliable companion for seasonal cookouts and weekend gatherings alike.

In essence, the Char-Griller Smokin' Stone invites you to broaden what your AKORN can do. It offers a practical pathway to more evenly cooked dishes, enhanced moisture retention, and the chance to experiment with new textures and flavors, all while keeping your outdoor cooking experience simple and enjoyable.
