Mr Moderator, would you step in here and make Cliff tell us what was in "THE BOX"?

Inquiring minds want to know, dude.

Just sayin'...

At first, it sounded like it died a heinous death. Glad to know that old #171 has a new home and is alive and well. A testament to a well made grill!

I'm not gonna jump on the "what's in the box?" bandwagon. I'm predicting an "I got a box today" thread to be posted very soon.

Just a guess, mind you.  Cliff's new "dog house", complete with internet.

Over on Big Poppa's website he has this really cool service called white glove delivery where if you order something like a smoker it is delivered to your front door just like what is happening at Cliff's house.  The box itself looks pretty much exactly like the same boxes that were delivered to my house for both of my MAK's.

The question is, what model of MAK did Cliff get?  Given the size I'm guessing it's not the 4 Star. :)  Whatever it is, congrats on your new smoker Cliff!

A very good guess...

You sure Smoke didn't hijack your account?  You're starting to sound the same.  :D

Well I know it's a Mak. Don't think he would trade the 1 Star for a 2 Star. Don't think he needs a 4 star. My guess is he is getting a pre production 3 Star to test. And if so I am so damn envious I can't see straight!

Don't I wish.  Way out of my budget!
