MAK 2 Star Built-In versus Stand Alone Cart Based

[dms3554]

I am redoing our deck and will be replacing my old SS smoker/grill with a MAK 2 Star. I am trying to decide advantages and disadvantages of a built-in versus a stand alone cart unit. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Buy a stand alone and build it in with doors or removable panel in the front so you can roll it out if you want.

Thanks. Sounds like good advice. Probably easier to keep clean and get to different parts.

Ok number one the Mak 2 star only comes as a stand alone unit. Yes you can take the bottom,back and legs off for a built in installation but you run into many access and air flow problems. The Mak 4 star does come as a built in option.

Yea all ya need is 20-30 grand for one of those!

Thanks. Didn't know that. 4-Star may be overkill.

Impressive if one had the skill set to do all of that. I don't. Thanks for sharing.
