This review is informative enough already to be used as a paid advertisement for MAK. Thank you for your efforts for far. This will help quite a few people in my opinion.

Thank You. I was in the "MAK is just too way expensive of a pellet grill for me" camp.  I must say when you get your hands on one, you realize it is worth every penny.

Did you know that MAK has their own lines of rubs and sauces??  Yes, Pappy, LTBBQ's resident rub pusher is at it again!!!!! 

They are priced right and you get free shipping from MAK.

However this is a everything MAK review so why not see what they got.

Rubs:
Bird
Chipotle
Mesquite
Sweet
Fish
Cajun

Sauces:
Devil's Punch
Smokin Hickory
Honey Bourbon
Rum
Whiskey

We got these and you will see them throughout the review:

I was in the "A wife is just too way expensive for me" camp.  I must say when you get your hands on one, you realize she is worth every penny. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

True...but you can re-configure your MAK, rebuild it, bring it up to date, and it never complains or threatens divorce....JUST SAYIN'!!!!!! :D :D :D :D ;)

So true Tim. Nothing is worse than buying something and then find out the following year that upgrades have been added.

A MAK owner with an older model can contact them and bring their older MAK up to the latest revision.

How cool is that? You are dealing with a company that is constantly looking at ways to improve their product and they allow long time customers to enjoy the new accessories without having to sell their unit and purchase a new one.

MAK is a great grill no doubt and it's not cheap,   BUT the PAIN Kimmie would inflict is far worse then the pain of paying for one.

Just saying ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ??? ??? ??? ??? ???

It is ALL in how you sell them on it..."Honey - this one will last a few years, and it's cheaper...but THIS ONE - heck, we can will it to the kids!" - That means CHEAPER to own.
Cheaper to own is never the same as cheaper to purchase. It does require us to re-focus our perspective - I know.

Well folks, Wendy and I hit a wall. I have had to work some double shifts the last two days and Wendy hasn't felt her best lately.
We have shown you the packing of the MAK and all of its features.

But we gotta get cooking. We need help!!! This is just too daunting of a review for us. If only there was someone that could get the cooking portion of this review going.

Is there anyone out there that is capable of this enviable task. Please, we need help, will somebody please step up to the plate................

Our prayers have been answered!!!!!!!!!!!!

I give to you, for the first time ever on-line.............drum roll please..................................................



2 Star Smoochy


Let the cooking begin!!!!!!   :) 

Oh and just to let y'all know it really is just Smoochy. The helmet really sells it. :)  Just another one of his alter-egos..............
