To all you BBQ fanatics, I hope everyone has Safe & Happy New Year! This was my first full year of cooking food off a pellet grill. I've had a great time reading the forum and learning from all. Sterling has been instrumental in my learning process along with all of you. Thanks for making...

After using many different pellet grills here is what I think would be the perfect pellet grill. I'm curious to see what other pellet users would build if they could build the ultimate pellet grill? Have fun and be creative. My ultimate pellet grill would have a CharBroiler side like the...

Not sure what cut of meat to get I purchased a Chuck Pot Roast. Whether at Costco or the local market I see many different types of Chuck roast. Can someone chime in and explain what kind of beef should be used for pulled beef? Here is the outcome of my cook. I will post the rubs used...

Bob Grillson pellets are now available. For those interested, all wood pellets being sold are 100% of said wood. Mix and match to create your own smoking profile. Enjoy

What is Tappecue? Tappecue is the future of thermometers used by the meat smoking hobbiests who need freedom from the smoke of their smokers. Unlike bluetooth and radio frequency devices that limit the distance you can roam, Tappecue offers no limitation through Wi-Fi enabled probes and a...

First time I cooked some Cornish Game Hens where the skin came out crispy. Got home late so I won't be able to enjoy until tomorrow. Cooked on a Mak 2 Star at 375 for around 45 min. Seasoned with Traeger chicken rub and garlic salt.

Decided to make some egg muffins with bacon using the Mak griddle. Everything was simpe to make except next time I will use two griddles, one for the bacon and the other for the eggs and toasting the muffins. The cold smoking box was used to keep the bacon and eggs warm while making smoothies...

I've been enjoying my Mak 2 Star pellet grill for just under 1 year now and am loving the ease of use and the great food that comes off it. I always wondered why is it the electrical cord just hangs there under the hopper for everyone to view when the grill is not in use? Such a nice looking...

Finally starting to play with Bob Grillson. Rick had mentioned he uses an 18" pellet tube in his Mak 2 Star with the grill off to smoke his cheese. That gave me an idea to do the same with my Bob Grillson pellet grill. I lit the 18" pellet tube and placed it in the ash drawer which held the...

This is my 4th pork butt to smoke and I thought I try something new. This time I seasoned it with Money rub mixed with brown sugar. The difference is I vacuum packed it to help pull in the seasoning. There is no need to season overnight as it's my understanding that sucking all the air out of...

Just purchased my first food sealer and am hoping someone can tell me which bags I should stock up on? I'm confused as to 3 Mil or 4 Mil and zipper bags versus non zipper? Can I use bags in a roll and just cut to size or do I need to order different size bags for a chamber sealer? Can you...

For lunch I put together a quick fun Pizza that turned out pretty good. I took last nights turkey meatloaf and mixed in some Blues Hog bbq sauce. Added chopped garlic, onion and some Mozz cheese and enjoyed a tasty pizza 10 minutes later. Sent from my SCH-I510 using Tapatalk 2

MAK is a baking machine, grill, and smoker all in one. Today was a baking day. It was corn bread the other week and Pumpkin muffins tonight after some ribs. Sent from my SCH-I510 using Tapatalk 2

Sterling, I have to thank you for our conversation today. You answered many questions for me of which one was how can I save precious time in the day not cleaning the outside of my Mak 2 Star pellet grill? I explained to Sterling I like my grill looking clean all the time and have been trying...

Can someone tell me about advantages/disadvantages of cooking in a drum? I've never cooked or tasted food off of one. How does a Drum compare to a Pellet grill or Ceramic grill? Thanks Sent from my SCH-I510 using Tapatalk 2
