Congratulations.  You will not be disappointed.  I've used my 2 Star for ribs, steaks, pulled pork, mac and cheese, baked beans, chicken wings, pulled beef, turkey, bacon, bread, pizza, cheese cake...the list goes on and on.  It does it all.
You wouldn’t happen to have the MAK sear grate, would you? I’ve been toying with the idea of replacing both standard grates with the sear grates... and using them for all of my grilling.

we ordered double searing grates and griddle for full combinations of each when needed. This will sure be shown in the review.

Curious, was a Memphis ever in the running as your “cry once” pellet grill?  If yes, why did you decide against it? If not a consideration, why?  MAK and Memphis, IMO are the 2 finest pellet grills on the market.  Always interesting to me to hear why buyers choose one over the other.

The MAK was the one. When our previous one "Exploded" on us we just went straight to the top.

I’ve found that cooking our cauliflower and broccoli in the microwave then crisping them in the MAK really enhances the flavor and texture. I also find myself using the griddle to make fried bread, fajitas, and other quickies.  It is easy to clean and keeps the grease and smells out of the house.

Oh, it gets worse, Fed EX shows my MAK in Denver Colorado this morning.

Probably will not get delivered until early next week.

Which aint a bad thing. I gotta work the next 4 days with the crud and a sinus infection so I probably wouldn't start the review until I have the time and feeling better.

Good attitude! There’s something to be said for delayed gratification :)

Yeah, the total was scary but Wendy and I figured this will be our last major grill purchase. The lazy days of retirement will be upon us sooner and later and we better get ready for it. Wendy really enjoys all  the food off of pellet grills. She also likes to cook many of her side dishes in the pellet grills so this should be a pretty cool review. It is really going to show the versatility of a MAK Grill.

This will be my last review and I am going to try to go out on top.
