MAK 1 ordered!
« Reply #-1 on: May 03, 2017, 07:44:26 PM »
I finally pulled the trigger and ordered the MAK 1 today -- now I have to count down the days till it shows up! Any suggestions for a good first cook?

I would do a pork butt. Very forgiving and it will give the Mak a nice lo and slo cook for its first go round  8)

And I like this idea too! I guess I'll have to wrap the butt in bacon!

I was obsessing with research for months, the realized that MAK was the only brand I didn't really see anyone complaining about, and I like that it is US made.

Pig candy: two very nice words. But I've never made it, any tips on recipe/instructions?

Just coat strips of bacon in a mix of brown sugar and typically a little cayenne (to taste), cook in the MAK at 250° - 275° until done.  And be prepared to lick your fingers, 'cause you won't want to waste a thing!  ;D

P.S.  This can be a messy cook, so I'd put some foil on the drip pan for this.
