Here is sort of rating my first cook on the new MAK One Star. Serial #0001. (Thanks again!)
It comes assembled. WOW. Ok you have to put the casters on. WHile missing mnay of the neat features of the MAK Two Star like side shelves, Warming drawer, quick change pellet door, the direct flame zone...it retains the fabulous flexibility of the Pellet Boss controller.
The first cooking observation is that this thing puts out noticeably more smoke at the lower temps. The back yard was like some mermaid was wafting around with my favorite smell...smoking pellets.
I put the steaks on at 250 and pulled them at 130 and rested while I pegged the controller for a reverse sear. It hit 500 and I was very very happy. The pluses of the One Star is that it produces more smoke and it gets hotter. The knock on pellet grills is that for some it does not put enough smoke on the meat...The one Star does not have this problem.
I used the stock grill grates and I think they work wonderful in this unit.
I believe that this is a very very solid product...Great Job Bob!
Most companies entry level isn't this thought out.
Bob says that they are able to put out more smoke because of no warming drawer to feed...the can turn down the amount of air....more smoke.
I am going to give it a try at the next comp in Buckeye Arizona and cook our comp chicken on this bad boy
