Assembly was a little time consuming, but straightforward and easy for one person without help. The grill itself seemed very well manufactured and the cart brings it up to a more useful height. I have been fueling the grill with chunks of hardwood. Perhaps because of the depth it is a little hard to get the small starter fire started than in a traditional Weber-style grill, but once it is started, it burns well and it burns as hot as I want it. The airflow controls work well. The air intake at the bottom operates a bit stiffly the first time in each cooking session and then moves just fine. It's easy to control the heat and the grill service is heavy cast iron. Everything I've cooked on it has come out just fine - better more consistently than with my old traditional grill.
The only negative I have experienced so far is that if we have a heavy rain, the bottom ash pan gets filled with water. I am befuddled at how the water is getting in, as everything above is closed and seems tight enough to keep water out.

Steak Extraordinaire on 1st Cook
Out of the box, first thing I noticed was the scratched lid. Not just a little one, but a bunch of bad scratches, as shown in the photos. The assembly was smooth, with a couple questionable fittings and a blatantly noticeable screw just wouldn’t seat properly. This wasn’t a deal breaker though, but it is indicative of the product’s overall lack of quality and attention to detail. After following the seasoning instructions I thereby voided the return option by using the bbq. Afterwards, I prepared a hot coal meal consisting of both a thick New York steak, chicken breast, 2ears of corn and some grilled peppers. Temps rose quickly and remained constant. Let’s just say the steak was cooked to perfection, the chicken was a bit dry and the veggies were excellent. Next time I think I can do better on the chicken, using either a deflector or a half/coal config, as not to overcook the outer layer before the internal temperature reaches a desired temp. Temperature control is critical, but some smoke does leak between the lid and the base, while latched and when cooking, even though the temperature’s impact is likely minimal. Pre and post cleaning is a part of the cooking and maintenance keeping process. I find it helpful to use a leaf blower/vacuum. In conclusion, after the first use, I love this bbq, it has convection capabilities using the deflector, and despite the quasi crappy build and potential long tern rust issues, it's a solid grill cooker. It’s my first egg shaped grill, after having used a kettle grill for most of my outdoor cooking up until now. In time, aging issues may likely arise, but IMHO this baby can cook as good, if not better, than most other coal based bbq grills and way better than gas grills.

I purchased the Char-Griller E56520 AKORN Cart Grill about a month ago. I'm a retired small engine mechanic so assembly was easy for me. One tool that the instructions do not mention is a small Phillips head screwdriver. You will need it for assembly of the cart model side panels.
Great Grill. Need one tool not mentioned for assembly

I've grilled steaks, hamburgers and kabobs that turned out great. I also got the smoking stone and slow smoked a turkey breast and a Boston butt. Turned out moist and delicious. I put a iron skillet with water and spices on top of the stone to help keep the meat juicy. Slow cooked at 250 and used some apple wood chunks in with the charcoal.
I used about half the amount of charcoal compared to what I have used in my kettle grill and it last for hours. It doesn't take much starter to get the coals ready either, so don't over do it. It holds heat really well.
This is the first grill I've had of this type, and had reservations on spending this much, but now I'm glad I did. I see no reason it won't last for years if property maintained and keeping the ashes empty after each use. I got the Char-Griller cover for it too.
Really enjoying this grill!!

Would have given 5 stars however packaged items were not correct as delivered which caused me to purchase additional items (axle and hubcaps) from the manufacturer. Purchased my Akorn E6520 Kamado grill via Amazon, arrived in 10 days. Upon assembly, I noticed that wheel/axle assembly were not able to be fitted together as the directions stated. The axle appeared too short to install washers and cotter pin as per directions to complete the assembly. I suspected that the wrong axle was shipped in my purchase so I researched the the Char-griller parts website to see that they have different axles for the AKORN line. The 6520, 16520, 26520, 56520 lines seem to have different axles than the rest of the AKORN line. To prove my suspicion, luckily my friend purchased an AKORN model E56720 same time as I did, so I compared the axle I received with my grill with his and the axles were identical in length. I then ordered the correct axle (MODEL #: 101055} from Char-grillerwebsite and upon arrival noticed that the axle is longer than the one shipped and it fits perfectly. I also had to buy another set of hubcaps since they are a one time install/use and I had installed on one end already.
Great grill, however quality control needs to be enforced

So far, the grill itself works wonderfully and I have no complaints as yet. Construction seems to be fairly solid overall and its performance has been great. I am satisfied with the overall value compared to other Kamado style grills and would highly recommend this grill to others, however, I would also have anyone who does purchase this grill to check your shipped items for incorrect parts.
