« Reply #-1 on: March 23, 2018, 11:42:11 PM »
Well, the wife and I drove down to see Bruce and pick up our 2 star today.

We left outside Seattle about 5:45 this morning. Semi rollover in Castle Rock....then a huge delay coming back outside Tacoma...got home about 5:00....Long day.

Parts are all laid out in the garage for assembly tomorrow.

Met Bruce. Lots of smiles and full of knowledge. The grill is really well built.

Thanks Bruce! And Dennis.

How cool to meet Bruce and pick your MAK up in person.

Wait until you assemble this beast. The fit and finish will astound you.

Make sure you have a helper...because there is not one cheap part to be found..............

Had a "T" for 5 years. Don't  get me wrong. Have had a lot of good eats from it  but the MAK is in a class all its  own.

The first cook will be a couple pork butts. Boneless and each about 2.25 pounds.

Wow! I have worked in the medical device design, new product introduction and manufacturing world for almost 30 years. In my world we look to have input during design for what is called DFM. (design for manufacturability) MAK hit this one out of the park!! All it took was two, yes two allen wrenches to assemble.  :thumbup:



Here are some pictures through assembly. And all holes and pem nuts lined up! And had all the hardware as well.







Nice rack!



All foiled and ready for the first cook. And yes the flame zone has foil on it and I cleared the holes prior to placing the difusers.



Pork butts......yum.  :P
