Post by: Sam3 on May 16, 2013, 07:10:16 PM: Well, I don't have a lot of options out here on the east coast. But I did my homework and talked to few knowledgeable people here before making a purchase. That's the beauty of this forum. Plenty of helpful people.
My MAK 1 star came from Oregon, if that means anything. ;)

First - WELCOME! We are glad you joined us!

Second - the good news is that 2 of the 3 brands you mentioned are Site Sponsors here on LTBBQ, and they will be happy to answer any of your questions about their products. And, you can't go wrong with either one.

I lived in Hawaii in the 70's...

Me, too. Oh yeah, I still live in Hawaii (where the cost and availability of pellet poopers (and pellets) make them almost unknown). I guess there are some (but not many) good things about living on the mainland.

There are a lot of folks here with the 1 star and 2 star MAKS - so you will have a great team of users to answer questions as needed. And - MAK is a sponsor of LTBBQ, so - you can easily reach them thru the site too!
