I m so excited to get "SMOKIN"!! just how long should it take to get temp. to 450f for seasoning? been running 35 minutes and still not there. HELP

Shouldn't take that long. Outside temp? What temp are you at?

 

[RickS]

[Pappymn]

Awesome. Enjoy. Cook something and post pics!

it gave me a "flame out" reading, so i shut it off and restarted and seemed to do better at getting up to temp quicker! Maybe an auger jam??

I have had one of those. It was a pellet issue. Changed pellets, problem solved.

When you first start the grill there are no pellets in the auger tube so it will take a good 15 minutes just to light. After that it will be much faster. Congrats on your new MAK and happy smoking

Let's see some pics Rick.. then you can type less (each pic is worth 1000 words I'm told).

Q: Once you get your new MAK all together what is the process/procedure to season it?

 

[MAK DADDY]

There are instructions in the owners manual that ships with the grill.
1/2hr @ 450 degrees.
