    More continuous smoke from pellets

    When my MAK 2 star was delivered, I immediately used the MAK pellets that came with it. I really like the smoke profile, kind of a sweet smelling smoke. Also, when the grill was on smoke setting, I got nearly continuous smoke (more after an auger run but always some). I ran out of MAK pellets...

    I've got a screw loose. 2 star general

    The screw around which the grill top rotates (right side) keeps falling out all of a sudden. I have put it back in and tightened it as much as I think I can and it keeps happening. It almost appears that the screw is too short. Or, something is out of alignment. Thoughts? Picture is attached...

    Need some cleaning tips

    First, I'd like to know what, if anything, you guys do about the smoke stains on the rear of the grill. Then, I was also wondering about burned on grease on the flamezone pan and covers. I've been making some killer ribs and this weekend, a bunch of the drippings got underneath my foil onto...

    First cook/Filet

    Well, after seasoning my grill last night, I went straight to the Filets tonight. Here's a pic after 2 minutes on the searing grate at 500 degrees. They turned out awesome! Had a nice dusting of BP's Double Secret Steak Rub. I got an A+ from my wife and steak-loving 16 year old. Sent from...

    MAK WiFi

    I had been waiting on the wifi to be available prior to ordering a 2 star general. As I was looking through the details, I noticed that only certain routers have been successfully connected. I have an Apple AirPort Extreme. Anybody have any luck with apple routers yet? Thanks Sent from my iPad...

    Newbie here. Pre-purchase question about ash clean out

    I'm new here. Been cooking on a Traeger for some time. Now I'm looking to upgrade. I had narrowed my choices to the 2 star general, the PG1000 and the Memphis pro. I was about ready to pull the trigger for a MAK when I decided to research the ash clean out function some more. It is very...
