Hello Everybody!!!
« Reply #-1 on: August 22, 2012, 09:18:15 PM »
howdy,

     Just figured I would introduce myself, I've noticed most of the names are pretty familiar here so most of you will atleast know of me..    My name is Chris from Illinois, but I work in Afghanistan so unfortunately you won't see too many cooks from me until my vacations.....  Been using a pellet smoker for about a year now, bought the Traeger BBQ300 Deluxe.   I'm not too fond of her and plan to purchase her replacement in the coming couple of months.  I've narrowed it down to the MAK 2 Star general and the Yoder YS-640.......


Thanks

Chris (SmokinSteiny)

Hey Chris! Great to have you! Which one of our members invited you? ( We grow thru invitation mostly - that how we are sure to just have all of the "good guys" here ;) ) BTW - I have the Yoder and so does Mossy MO... I love it. It is the Abrams of the pellet smokers/grills.
Contractor?  Prior svc?

T,

Art (ACW3) Invited me...   Yes I'm both prior svc and now contractor.  I've talked to Mossy MO in great detail about his yoder and they seem great but man all the lil gadgets of the MAK are really drawing me in ya know.   We'll see in October what I end up doing.  I'll be home in November to break it in whichever I purchase.

You need to talk to nepas - he's got a MAK 2 star and a bunch of goodies for sale here for a ridiculously low price.  The savings would pay for your trip from Illinois to pick it up in Georgia.

Hard as it is to admit....the old surfin' reptile is correct! :D
I had forgotten that Rick  has what may be the deal of the century in pellet cooking gear....SOmeone totaled up all the goodies he including and it came to around $3000.....I would contact him ASAP if you are looking for a deal!
