Thanks for sharing the pics of your upgraded MAK. It look gorgeous, and I can't wait to see it back in action.

Mine has not been that clean in years!

Mine either!! Hehehe  In that pic I'm not scrutinizing the sad shape, I'm gawking at the fact his old version looks positively pristine compared to my relatively new one!  :) 

Pete-- that crab you brought for us was AMAZING!   That was my first time doing crab on the grill, and it was just delicious!   And my birthday was yesterday, so it turned out to be a perfectly timed special birthday dinner too!!!  We had some nice artisan bread and sparking wine with it. 



I shared a few crabs with Ken, who did the work on your grill, he was excited to have a treat also!   Matt and Bob and Kerrie took some home as well, so you fed the whole darn crew here!! 

Hope you have a great time breaking the new one in-- like KyNola said, it'll take a bit to season the new one, so you might want to keep a closer eye on things for the next few cooks just in case. 

I'm with ya, ACW3, I wish shipping didn't have such a painful price tag!

Glad everyone enjoyed the crabs Kat  :)   Thank Ken for me again cause he did a fabulous job ;D   Gonna have fun seasoning my "NEW" unit and getting her dirty again ...   :D :D 

Now that I've seen the Super Smoker Box for the MAK 2 Star in person I need to start saving my pennies & dimes (or beg Santa Claus) for one of those units so I can smoke scrumptious Smoked Gouda Cheese and Salmon Candy like the treats pz brought from Idaho!  ;)

Looks like a work of art, Pete!  Looking forward to your cooks because I'll almost be able to taste them in my mind after remembering that tri tip you cooked on our visit!

On an aside, I went to a local distributor to pick up a wireless Davy Crockett unit for the RV but no luck so far  :(
