Not another newbie from Wisconsin! (Meaning ME, if anyone was confused.)
« Reply #-1 on: November 20, 2018, 09:17:00 PM »
Hello my Backyard BBQ Brethren.  I decided to join the forum to learn more of the secrets and tools of the trade about pellet smoking. I've had a Green Mountain Grill for the past six years so I already have a little knowledge. I recently upgraded to a used, but not abused, Mak 2 Star General. There isn't a lot of current information/videos out there on the Maks, but I'm finding out stuff here and there.

We passed the GMG down to our daughter. There still plenty of life left in it, but I'm looking to step up my game with the Mak.

Smoke On!

There are lots of MAK owners on this site, myself included.  I love my 2 Star, and I've learned a lot from the folks on this forum.

Welcome from the Lakeshore (Manitowoc)

Great score on a used MAK  (those are hard to find)

Here is the link to the product review I did for MAK on the 2Star

From one MAK owner to another... WELCOME! Curious to hear (and hopefully see) more about your new (to you) MAK! How old is it, what kind of condition did you find it in and how good of a deal were you able to score. Sorry, nosy I know... I just love the details behind these kinds of finds :)

Oh yeah, post a pic if you can :)

You’re already familiar with it Robb. In fact you helped me clean it. (Mr Muscle) Only about a couple dozen cooks on it. It came with a front shelf, 3/4 upper rack, and grill cover. Has the latest Flamezone and FlashFire features. It was a great Craigslist find at about half of the retail price. I’ll need to figure out how to post pictures with my comments though.

Oh WOW... small world :)  Glad to see you here! 

Any idea why the previous owner decided to sell it?
