Thanks for the great website
« Reply #-1 on: August 28, 2014, 09:46:19 AM »
I just want to check in and say thanks to all who have taken the time to share info here. As a youngin' I grew up grillin over wood then went to gas to accommodate our busy lifestyle. Picked up on Treager pellet smokers years ago but didn't pull the trigger fast enough and Treager moved manufacturing to China so I put pellet grilling/smoking on the back burner.

A friend of mine just pulled the trigger on a Yoder 640 (but he resides 800+ miles away) which has prompted me to once again take a look at USA made cookers. But, unfortunately, I haven't found any retailers close to my home to physically check out the top contenders. The web will be indispensable in my decision making process.

Again, thanks a bunch for taken the time to put your thoughts to paper for us clueless folks looking to get into wood grilling & smoking again.

Welcome! We are happy you found LTBBQ.

You will notice that we are a friendly bunch - and have no prejudices against any form of outdoor ( and even indoor... ;) ) cooking. Most here have several kinds of cookers - and many of us have pellet grills as well.

Feel free to post any questions you have, and be ready for some great feedback. And - I like near Brevard - so if you would like to see the Rec-Tec and the MAK 2 Star in action, just let me know.

Welcome from Augusta, GA home of the 2014 Fall Gathering in late September.

If you are looking for a great pellet cooker, look  at the RecTec who is one of our sponsors and who will  kindly provide us with a trailer with four of them on it for us to use at the Gathering.

Welcome to the forum, from NE Ohio.

I can relate to your story. We too were limited with pellet grill/smoker dealers in our area. There's a Traeger dealer about 15 minutes away, and a Memphis & Traeger dealer about an hour away.

And like you, American made was an important factor to us. After researching for about a year we finally pulled the trigger on a MAK and have been nothing but happy ever since.

MAK is also a forum sponsor.
