Great write up Tent. I like the grease trap design. I assume this will be part of the 2 star at some point.
We're workin' on it, Pappy! They're in the process of incorporating that into the 2 Star, along with a few other updates for 2015.
Like Cliff said, the accessories will work on 'updated' models, so you won't have to worry about any extra goodies you have not working with a new grill. They make every effort to make sure everything is 'backwards compatible' whenever they introduce new innovations.
Very excited to see what you make for your inaugural run on the new MAK, Cliff! Decisions, decisions.
