WHat gauge extension cord should you use if your having to plug in ? I know the length makes a big difference on what gauge you use. I guess maybe the right question would be how many amps does the MAK grill pull then one could use the chart to fig out what gauge to use.... SO lol how many amps...

On a MAK : After several cooks on a pellet grill ( no flame zone ) the user can pretty well or should know by now what to expect flavor wise from his cooks. Flavor meaning what the cook taste is without any marinating or spices. My question : With a flame zone will the cook have a different...

Ordered me the A-MAZE-N Tube Smoker from BP. Did the recommended burn on it in the MAK. Now I have tried using but having trouble keeping it smoking.. it goes out. Seems I remember someone saying they use a propane torch to get it going. I use paper towels and other things but no luck. It...

I believe some on here have the tube smoker. Using this on a pellet grill how much of a smoke difference taste do you get? Guess what I'm trying to ask is does it make a big difference in the smoke flavor of the meat. Or does in work better in cold smoking? Thanks for any info. HS

Wanted NY Strip for fathers day meal, but settles for pork loin instead. Didn't know what too put on it so I winged it. Some brown sugar with little apple juice to make a paste. Then used some of my BQ rub that I make on the grill at 200* for one hour. After one hour on smoke up the temp to...

Other than general maintenance how far do you go cleaning your grills? I always clean the surface after I cook and clean out the fire pot after 3 or 4 cooks and the temp probe. I have used foil on on the tray thinking it would be a easy clean, however not sure if thats the way too go...

Got my pellet order from BP this evening. Lots of flavors to try I kind feel like the old cowboy who came stumbling out the bar with a knife in one and and his 6 shooter in the other I don't know whether cut across the street or shot up the alley. So many options on pellet combo's. And must...

A friend of mine was interested in buying a new grill. I asked him have you ever considered a pellet grill? He knew nothing about them so I invited him over to look at my 1Star General. I even cooked him some ribs which he loved said they were great made him want a pellet grill even more. We...
