Hi All! Glad to be part of this forum. I am Bruce Bjorkman, sales guy @ MAK Grills in Dallas, Oregon. I was te first MAK Grills employee, starting here in January 2010. Prior to that, I had worked as Director of Marketing @ Traeger Pellet Grills for 10 years.
I am a dedicated pellet head, which began in 1991. So a lot of years cooking exclusively on pellet grills. Before I came over to the pellet side, I was a dedicated charcoal/wood guy.
My wife and I competed in competitions for 3 years in the NW.
I have been fortunate to be able to judge at MIM, American Royal and The Jack, as well as NW competitions.
Even if I did not work at MAK, my opinion of the grills would be the same---the most innovative, best thought-out pellet grills around. I am always amazed how our company continually improves our grills.
Here's a secret you may not know. At night, when those other brands of pellet grills are sleeping...they're dreaming of becoming a MAK! Looking forward to joining the conversation. SMOKE ON!
