I like that rain shield. The Akorn Jr. is one of the real undiscovered jewels of backyard cooking. it's big brother, not so much.

Why/How is the Jr. Better.?

If it rains during a cook, you pick it up and move it.
But, when not in use, i've found water in the bottom of the ash pan. I think rain gets in through the exhaust cap and water accumulates in the ash pan? Not sure if it gets in through the cap only, or perhaps the intake slide?
Rain cap can't hurt I guess.

*checks SmokerKing's location * :suspicious:
I have the full sized akorn. If i leave it outside uncovered when it rains water gets down into removeable the ash pan. The water gets down into the bottom of the double wall and is hard to get out.

The full sized Akorn has way too many manufacturing problems. Missing parts, dents, poor seals, inability to hold low temps, etc.
I had to take two back before I got an Akorn that was serviceable out of the box. I kept that unit for about a month before I donated it to a Scout Troop.
The Jr. Is just better built.
Just my experience and opinion and we all know what opinions are worth.
I agree with CeramicChef the jr seems far easier to regulate and control compared to its bigger brother . Saying that though I get good results off the Bigger Akorn too. I am able to control at lower temps for low and slows but I feel like I have to fittle with it more to find the sweet spot were on my jr the intake /exhaust settings I know right where to put them to get my temps .

Does the Jr. have a different intake?
