Hi guys . I've been looking at a used Mak 1 Star. It's a 2016 model and the guy is asking $1300. Two questions. Is that a decent price and will the new flame zone fit in it? Could sure use some advise. Thanks.
Yes, that seems like a decent price, and yes, the new FlameZone will fit in the 2016 1 Stars & up. It should also already have the FlashFire ignitor in it.
Get the Serial# and call MAK to verify that it's a 2016 model, or measure the grates; they should measure 19 1/2” x 22”. See if he'll take $1200, or throw in the pellets, etc. (even better deal).
What's the deal with it? Did he just not use it or something?
Good thing you checked, then, and I perfectly understand. Granted, I have to admit that I was quite happy with the performance of our older 1 Star and FlameZone; no problems getting a decent sear. But the new FlameZone design absolutely rocks!
