    Mak 1 Star #174

    Just wanted to say thanks for all the input over the last few weeks, and a special thanks to Sparky and Squirt for putting up with me. I got a Mak 1 star and started off the day by cooking some pork candy. I then finished it with 3 N.Y. steaks. I was very impressed with how fast the grill heated up, how hot it got, and how much smoke it produced on the lower settings. I'm looking forward to trying some butts this weekend, along with a brisket. any input would be great since I'm new to cooking on this grill
    Thanks again
    Greg
