Title: Greeting from the Lafayette, LA area
Post by: Malinois1 on March 08, 2021, 12:58:24 PM
Hello everyone. Looking forward to reading and learning here. I currently have 2 grills. One is a Louisiana Grills Kamado that I bought from costco about 4 years ago and the other is an Acorn Kamado I have been having for 6-7 years or so. I am looking to get a nice pellet grill but at the moment have analysis paralysis :-) . I thought I was sold on a recteq 700 bull but now I am wondering if I wouldn’t be better off with a MAK 2 star. I would like to start doing more low and slow stuff but honestly I probably grill steaks more than anything else. I am sure you guys help point me in the right direction. Looking forward to meeting all of you.

Como se va! ;)
I have owned most  brands including Rec Tec....I now only have 2 MAK 2 stars. Rec Tec was good....but the MAKE are a high grade of stainless that will not ever rust....even if you were living on a house boat in Morgan City LA.;) :D .
As well...MAK now offers  a life time warrany along with unparalleled customer support, and a huge variety of accessories. You will never need to replace a MAK....

Ca va bien merci! Thanks for the reply. I am starting to heavily lean towards the MAK. I may have to start off with just the smoker first and then add accessories as funds allow since it is close to $1k more for the MAK vs the bull with all the accessories.

Welcome aboard. 

I think that any pellet unit is better than not having one.  And I think you're on the right track when considering a MAK.  I believe that it's one of the top 3 units.  And I wouldn't argue with anyone that ranked the three in any sequence.

Welcome to LTBBQ! Having owned quite a few grills and smokers (gas, charcoal, sticks and pellets) over the years, some being quite nice... the MAK lineup has been my all time favorite. A fantastic product IMO :)
