    Cooking on MAK 4 Star question

    I usually set my 4 star on dual pots with smoke when cooking on my 4 star. Would it be better to set it on 225 left pot w/smoke and do a long cook on the right side with indirect heat?

    Help: Thinking of doing a Kobe Tenderloin roast for Christmas Eve

    I'm thinking of doing a Kobe Tenderloin Roast for Christmas Eve. What's the best way to cook it in the MAK without having too much of a smoky flavor when it's done? Probably looking at a 5lb roast (We're feeding 10 people)

    Grilling burgers on the 4 star - Why I am I so nervous about this?

    I've been using my four star for a few years but have never used the grilling function. In fact, it's been years since I've actually grilled burgers. We're having 40-50 people over tomorrow. Anyone have tips for setting the left/right pots for different zones, if necessary? What temp am I...

    First try at Ribs on the 4 Star

    Posted this for the contest, but figured I would put it here for any comments and tips to improve for next time. Made some ribs for the first time on the MAK. Butchered them up - my father was a butcher by trade - he would not have been impressed :( Some Sweet Money! Added a little Smoke...

    Grill Brick

    Has anyone tried using a grill brick to clean the grates and flame zone covers? I use them on my pizza steel and they work really well. I just don't know if they're too abrasive to use on the MAK.

    Misting/Spritzing automatic solution...

    A friend of mine came up with a pretty nifty solution to misting without opening his smoker. It's not even remotely made for cooking, so I think I can post the link without breaking the rules. If I'm in violation, please take the link down. Exo Terra : Monsoon RS400 / High-pressure Misting...

    4 Star - Can I use pure flavor wood pellets in one pot during cook?

    Being that the 4 Star has a setting to cook with one pot and smoke with the other, can I use a pure flavor wood pellet on the side set to smoke while using a fuel-type pellet in the pot used for cooking?

    Power failure message

    Every now and then I'll get a power failure message and then the 4 Star will go into cooldown mode (which obviously requires power). Is this a legitimate power fail or is something else going on? Luckily I've been close by when it happened but would hate for it to occur during an overnight cook.

    pork butt fat cap on or off?

    I'm trying out BP's pork butt recipe as per his video. In the video he leaves the fat cap on, but I know there was some discussion a while back about cooking with the cap up, down or off. Ideally I'd like more bark, but want to know if there are any negative issues with removing the cap and if...

    Injecting pork butt the night before cook?

    I know injecting is usually recommended 2-4 hours before cooking. I'm going to use the SOW injection and was wondering if I could inject and rub tonight so I can just throw them on the MAK early tomorrow morning.
