All "ptom's" have been banned! :)

I just crank the heat up as well, to burn the any crud off. It doesn't need to be spotless. I do a thorough cleaning a couple times per year by putting what fits in our self cleaning oven and...

Welcome to the forum!

Welcome to the forum, from NE Ohio!

If you're willing to spend the extra money, definitely go with the MAK 1 Star! It now includes the FlameZone in the base price, and let me tell you that grill is built like a tank and absolutely...

Yes, the LJ Competition blend (formerly known as MHC Blend - Maple, Hickory, Cherry) can be very ashy. I use them for smoking Charcuterie stuff (sausages, bacon, hams, etc.).

What I do is mix...

There's a listing on Amazon that says "Discontinued by manufacturer," but I don't think it's true. I can still get them here with no trouble, and they still list them on their website.

I'm guessing the URL expired, and it just happened to be on a holiday weekend.

Unfortunately stuff like this happens, and during a busy time it's easy to miss.

I've assembled four MAKs over the years, and it's definitely easier with a second person! ;) They're built like a tank!

Welcome to the forum! Can't wait to see what you do with your new MAK!

Now THAT is some useful info! Thanks MAK Daddy!

I wasn't implying that relative cooking temperature didn't matter. Of course you want to cook things at SUITABLE temperatures so you don't burn the sugar in BBQ sauce, or get a proper rise on pizza...

You might not be able to get KC style BBQ where you live, but if you go stand on a corner, I bet you'll see a flat bed Ford...
Sorry, I couldn't resist. :D

I know a few people who have the Pit Boss, and while it does not compare to a MAK in build, features, etc., it seems to be a decent mid-grade pellet grill that'll let you get into the world of pellet...

Do a biscuit test.

Go to the store and buy a can or two of cheap biscuits. Place them evenly across the bottom grate and cook them. when done, look at the bottoms of the biscuits and they will...

I think Google photos is playing games. I had fixed them, they were working and I checked on multiple devices with different browsers. And now they're not working again. :mad:


For now I've...

Yeah, I'm not sure why that happens once in a while with Google Photos, but it should be okay now.

I have to humbly disagree with dubob that there is no "One stop shop" for a grill/smoker. BUT, Before the last few years that may have been true, especially if you haven't experienced a MAK within...

Great post! It's been a while since we've talked about this on here.

Some guys really freak out over temp swings and, as you elude to, under normal circumstances it's not a problem!. Temp...

I love it!

That is great news to know that MAK Grills took care of you and you'll have your MAK back up and running!


Other than the old style igniters, and a little paint chipping (mainly around the lip of...

We've been very happy MAK owners since 2011 and currently own both a 2017 1 Star and a 2019 2 Star, and absolutely LOVE both!!!

The grilling capability of the newer MAK FlameZone is awesome,...

Yes, this is a very old thread.

Welcome to the forum!

The first place I'd suggest to look for at least some of your accessories, is BigPoppSomkers.com the sponsor of this forum. Buying at least something from there helps keep...

Welcome aboard, from NE Ohio!

I currently have both a 1 Star and a 2 Star. Both are exceptional smoker/grills!

What I love about the 1 Star is that you can get into the top notch brand of...
