Greetings all,

My name is bub, I live in the Mile High City, and have been smoking and fabricating log-fired pits for about 8 years.

Kind of a bitter sweet day for me today... bitter because this morning I sold my pride and joy. It's a 1600 pound, copper flame-sprayed reverse flow log burner with 4200 sq. inches of cooking area. It took me 130 hours to build. Kinda feel like I just married off my daughter.

But on the bright and sweet side... now I have a pretty good lump of cash to blow on a pellet smoker! I'm way excited and have always been intrigued by pellet pushers. Special thanks to Big Poppa for facilitating this forum, I have gleaned a ton of information from everyone... a big thanks to all who post!

I think I have my decision widdled down to two - the Mak 2 star or the Memphis Pro (leaning more towards the Mak, I think).

Anywhoo, nice meeting y'all and I'll see you around.

Welcome to the forum bub! Can't go wrong with either one of those cookers....that said, I'm kinda partial to the MAK :)

Welcome Bub, I see you are from the Mile High! I sure miss it, I was born and raised there but, now I am a transplant (complements of the US Navy) in the Puget Sound area in Washington. Devoted BRONCO fan!!

Thanks everyone for the welcome! And FirehouseSmoker, thank you for your service, sir. Devoted Bronco fan here too! That said, I'm reluctant at best about this season... would love to see more Tebow action!

On another note, I have been sitting in front of the computer for 2 straight days trying to muster the courage to pull the trigger on the MAK 2 Star - dang that looks like a nice rig. I've got the cash from selling my log burner, I've even got the little Mrs. to approve the purchase! Crap! I just need to get off the fence and do it already. AHHHHHHH!

Done deal. Big Poppa's MAK 2-Star package, Full Upper Grate, 40lbs of Apple, Pecan, and Mesquite pellets. WOOT! (does a little dance)
