Furthermore do you feel the MAK puts out ample smoke or do you or others ever utilize an after market smoke device.

With our MAK 1 Star, we sometimes use an inexpensive add-on called the A-MAZE-N Pellet Tube Smoker when I want to cold smoke something such as cheese, Smoked Sausage, Bacon, etc.

BUT...

1) ...that's no different from any other smoker. I follow the same procedure even on my horizontal offset smoker.

2) The MAK 2 Star has a built-in cold smoking chamber.

3) Even without cold smoking, the MAK puts out plenty enough smoke in "smoke mode" that it can be use for hot-smoking bacon, sausage, etc. with great results and plenty of smoke flavor!

Here are just a few examples:

I live in Northern Virginia. No MAK dealer within over 1000 miles. I ordered mine from BP, mainly due to the positive feedback on this forum. No shipping costs from BPS on orders over a certain amount, which is low, in my opinion. Now that I am a BP customer, I am one of those that will praise BPS and their fantastic customer service. Any issues, any at all, contact BP and they will get you taken care of. Any issues with your MAK, and the MAK Team will get you taken care of. They are a great match.
