My MAK cooks

I'm learning with every cook, but here's some of my cooks (and hopefully I uploaded these correctly from Photobucket): baby back ribs, pulled pork, chicken wings, and reverse seared ribeyes.

So, how are you liking your new MAK so far?  Everything you've posted looks spectacular!

The next MAK accessory you should consider, if you didn't already get it, is the MAK Griddle.  It's very versatile and very under-rated.

I do have a MAK griddle but I haven't used it yet.  I'll probably cook some bacon on it or do some burgers to get a good crust on them.  I went all out when I upgraded to the 2 Star.  I got the Remote Boss, the searing grate, the griddle, and the blank grease pan.  I've been very happy so far and I cannot wait to cook Thanksgiving dinner on it.

Very cool. You are going to love your MAK griddle then!  We use ours for all kinds of things. I recently did: Steak & Shrimp Fajitas.

Grilled sandwiches are nice, and Hot dog Chili done in the MAK Griddle is the best since it picks up a little smoke!

If you keep the grill temp around 350° - 375° so it doesn't get too hot you can even do some shallow frying in it.

OUTSTANDING cooks!!!  Looks like you've been around the block a few times?  That surely ain't the cooking of a "newb"... ;)  Curious, what were you cooking on prior to your new 2-Star, and how does it compare?

I've been using a gas grill since about 16 years of age (my dad is an awesome griller/cook) and I've been cooking and baking since about age 8 (I'm 45 now).  About 3 years ago I bought an electric Masterbuilt smoker on QVC.  Although it wasn't the best piece of equipment (very difficult to keep a constant temp in the winter), it did get me hooked on smoking.  After doing extensive research, I decided to go with the best and bought my MAK.

MAK = Smart man! Do you do all of your high temp grilling on it? If yes, how do you like it for that type of cooking?

I did do the reverse searing of my ribeyes on the MAK and they turned out great.  However, next time I'll probably just sear them on my gas grill with my Grill Grates.  It just took too long for the MAK to get up to searing temp (and when the steaks look that good, patience is not a virtue).  I will continue to use my gas grill for basic stuff (like hot dogs, brats, and burgers), but I did use my MAK griddle for searing up some bison burgers. 

So basically, I'll be using my MAK for smoking and baking and my gas grill for high heat, quick cooks.
