I would like to take this opportunity to thank MAK GRILLS for their continued product support. Made in America still means something to MAK GRILLS.
I bought my first MAK 2-STAR GENERAL in June 2010, serial number 171. I had been researching what I needed to do to upgrade my original grill, but decided that I would have to spend a lot of money, and I’d have to do it myself. Earlier this year I heard that MAK GRILLS was offering the MAK 2-STAR trade-in program for MAK owners with grills with serial numbers 1-790. Since I had a serial number that met their trade-in criteria, I decided to investigate this opportunity further. In my mind, the decision was fairly straight forward. I placed an order for a 2020 version of the 2-STAR.
BTW, if you happen to own a MAK 1-STAR GRILL within the serial numbers 1-1092, you may also want to look into the trade-in program. If you have any questions about the pricing, process, etc. please contact MAK GRILLS directly, by phone at 503-623-1234, or by email at

The following picts detail the process of unpacking and assembling the new MAK 2-STAR together. My good friend Tim Tucker gave me a helping hand in assembling the new MAK. It is definitely a two person job. We made a good team. I provided the brains and Tim the brawn. That comment will likely cost me some bourbon.
Here are a few picts of the MAK as we unpacked it. Impressed with the fit and finish.
Here is a picture of our fearless leader.
I really like the new grease box. It holds 2 quarts of grease. A REALLY BIG IMPROVEMENT OVER THE ORIGINAL TINY GREASE BUCKET THAT CAME WITH MY FIRST GRILL.
Well, out with the old and in with the new.

I have already cooked several meals. It is dirty and needs a cleaning, already.
