Hi,
I've been a pellet smoker for about 6 years and attempting to smoke meat for a few years longer. I've been using a Traeger Lil Tex for all that time, quite successfully, and it's still going strong, if you ignore some peeling paint, but I decided this spring it was time for something new so I got a Mak 2 star. So far I've been very impressed and pleased. The only slightly sad part is it is a 2014 model. If I'd waited a couple months I could have had the 2015 model, but that's always the case and I would have missed out on two months of use.
In any case, I'm glad to be part of the forum.
