Have you settled on a 1 or 2 Star?
Don't know yet. I have always liked the 1 stars a little more. It has a more stable wider base. I never use the side smoke chamber on the 2 star. The both have the same size racks. I like the black on the 1 stars. The 2 stars stainless you are always trying to keep clean. You don't worry about on the 1 stars. The 1st stars are cheaper by $1000. The flame zone in my opinion is good for high heat cooking. I don't do that with the maks. That's what my Weber is for. I do like the flame zone because it keeps the grease out of the belly of the 1 stars. That's the only reason for me. So the 1 star with the flame zone would work. Since I'm moving up to the Seattle area I plan on smoking a lot of salmon ( my wife loves my smoke salmon a lot and she makes me butterscotch pudding ) so the multiple racks on the 2 star would work very well. Won't know which one I end up with until I visit the mak plant in August.
Gotcha! They are both fantastic as you know. In my opinion, the 2 Star cannot be worn out... EVER. I like that about it
