Ohh.. I got a BIG box today!

From Dallas, Oregon. AKA Santa's Workshop..

It's a new drip pan.



Yeah, boring. Blurry pic by the way.

Oh, it is also the 1 Star 'flame zone' pan that allows direct heat from the firepot to shoot up towards whatever you are cooking.




Those inserts come out, so you can get down inside and clean ash/whatever out without having to tear the whole smoker apart. (well, 75% still has to come out, but it should make it a bit easier)



This is obviously a test unit, as you can see the welds and such. But I'm still stoked on finally having one to try!

What to cook, what to cook..............

very cool. do you take the heat shield off to use it?

Sweeeet! Keep us posted.

I understand MAK is making a full flame zone for the 2 star as well.

Yes they are I have a test unit for the MAK 2 Star. Just like other MAK features it works. It looks just like the photos above. Will be home this weekend and give it some more work.

No, Bob told me to leave the heat diffuser in place. I'll get some pictures of it 'in action' this weekend..

Can someone load it up with 70-30 burgers and run it 450-500? I have to them cook for a church group now and then and getting tired of messing with charcoal on my old webber. The Traeger takes to long because I have to do about 60.

I'll be watching this one closely for results.

looks like you are going to have a fun weekend! I can not wait to see pics!
