Affordable Enclosed Charcoal Grills

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Char-Griller Akorn Kamando Kooker Makes Tender Meat

— June 17, 2017 — Lifestyle
For those who want to cook up quality barbecue meals throughout the summer without having to give away an arm and a leg for a decent grill, the Akorn Kamando Kooker is a great option. Though the 'Big Green Egg' has a reputation as the premier charcoal grill out there, it has a price tag that matches its lofty reputation. The Akorn Kamando Kooker employs a similar system (and delivers similarly tender results,) but it's in a far more affordable price bracket.

The newly released convection cooking charcoal grill has a 306 square inch cast iron cooking surface, putting it in the same size range as the large Big Green Egg. However, at $270 on Amazon right now, the Akorn is almost a third of the price of its competitor.
Trend Themes
1. Affordable Charcoal Grills - Opportunity to disrupt the high-end charcoal grill industry by introducing more affordable options with comparable features.
2. Convection Cooking Grills - Opportunity to integrate convection cooking technology into other types of grills for enhanced flavor and tenderness of food.
3. Alternative Grill Brands - Opportunity to introduce new, lesser-known grill brands to challenge the dominance of established brands like Big Green Egg.
Industry Implications
1. Grill Manufacturing Industry - Manufacturers can explore producing affordable alternatives that retain the features and quality of high-end grills.
2. Outdoor Cooking Industry - The outdoor cooking industry can benefit from offering consumers more affordable options that cater to their budget without compromising on quality.
3. Home and Garden Retail Industry - Retailers can explore introducing more affordable grill brands to appeal to a wider range of consumers looking for high-quality but budget-friendly options.
