If any MAK Grills Mobile customers are sent the free upgraded hardware - I would recommend against upgrading. My previously solid WiFi network is now anemic, and there is no signal out my back door which means no MAK Grills Mobile! Your results may vary, but we have poor signal through the...

Opened up the paper today, and there was a great article about MAK Grills being inducted into the Made in USA Hall of Fame. To top it off, they are the first grill manufacturer to be honored like this. We all know MAK has great quality and service, and manufactures a great product proudly made...

Wife was out of the house for the day and my 16-y/o was craving burgers. Burgers it is! Cheezy-cheeseburger: 1/2lb extra lean beef with 1 slice American cheese inside the patty, 2 on top. For the kid. Dad's Flamethrower: diced-up some Jalapeño, Habanero, and Fresno peppers and pressed into...

It's no secret that I like to grill, and do it far more than I smoke. It's about time, and a small group to cook for. MAK Daddy knows my passion for grilling, we've had a conversation or two on the subject. Enter the Batmobile (afterburner was taken). I remove the drip pan, slide my diffuser...

Hey gang. It's that time of the year again. I find myself browsing through various websites looking for the perfect Super Sunday snacks. Then it hit me - The best place to look is HERE! I know there are probably a number of appetizer/snack posts scattered throughout the site, but I thought...

OK, a subject near and dear to my heart. Ended-up walking the piers in San Francisco yesterday, drooling at the smell of mesquite fires burning in many of the restaurants. If I'm out looking for a restaurant and one of them is burning mesquite - that is where I will be eating. The problem...

Well, today I got perhaps the one and only MAK accessory I was missing - the griddle. Like all MAK accessories, it is a beautiful piece of work. The question though is this - What should I cook on it first? I have a Sizzle-Q so I have done the whole breakfast thing, even did Panko breaded...

Santa's coming early around here. He's bringing a special gift from the great team at MAK. Some upgrades to my 2 Star. Anyone want to guess what they are? I'll post pictures as son as I have them. You won't believe your eyes! :o

OK, so not an exciting topic. But read on a bit. I'm planning on doing 2 butts tomorrow. One "normal", and one "Asian". My thought is to inject with a low sodium soy sauce (perhaps watered down a bit), and seasoned with a rub of garlic, ginger, five spice, pepper. I'm thinking of making a...

Living in close proximity to MAK has its advantages. MD gets some wild ideas, and sometimes he gives me a shout to test them out. I've recently been testing his new drip pans with the redirected airflow. Instead of having the 1/2" zone around the edge where the heat comes up, these new pans...

It's too bad that the MAK can't sear like "the other guy". 1.24lb strip using the MAK searing grate. Works for me. ;)

Over the last 6 months since I got my MAK I have done countless Papa Murphy's on it. Everyone swears they just taste better on the MAK. After about a 15-year hiatus from doing from-scratch pizza's (read - before kids) - I decided to dust-off my pizza pans and get to work. Did one thin crust...

Well, it's time. I've done enough "playing" with the 1 Star, it's time to put it to work. I have a Costco pork butt thawed, and have prepared a modified version of Chris Lilly's injection and rub. I'll be putting in the Butt tonight about 10pm. I'll use the program feature of the Pellet...

Well, here I am in Oregon where after a couple weeks of wet, we get a couple back to back days of beautiful sunny fall weather. I hop on my bicycle and did a 20-mile tour of the West Salem hills. Orchards, Vineyards, fall colors, crisp clean air. Figured the only way to improve that is to...

Hey gang. I am interested in making my own chipotle. I like making home-made salsa and my favorite uses chipotle in it. I just can't bring myself to add something from a can to my fresh (MAK charred) veggies. Has anyone made thier own Chipotles and if so, how would you rate the results...
