Thank you so very much everyone. All four vendors mentioned, MAK Grills, Big Poppas, Yard and Pool and Amazon sound like great places to buy from. My question has been answered extremely well. I want to mention right off that my choice, thanks to every reply I have gotten from our LTBBQAM forum, will be a MAK 2 Star General. I equate buying a MAK or Memphis or Yoder or Fast Eddy to buying a new vehicle. Thinking you could perhaps haggle the price or options. If there is pretty much no difference in price and only $100 potentially saved via free shipping (not meaning to sound like I have money because I do not, I still have to work for a living) I would probably forgo the $100 free shipping incentive and chose to buy direct from the MAK Grills manufacturer. I am an "OEM" kinda guy. My vehicles parts for example, are only OEM. Not trying to say that is the right way, only saying that is the way for me. I have looked at BP, Y&P and Amazon. I am sure I will be ordering pellets, sauce, rubs etc from each of them but my Smoker/Grill will be coming from MAK Grills. I sincerely hope my choice does not offend anyone. It would bother my conscience if I have. Heck, if I was a billionaire like Donald Trump or Bill Gates, I would buy a pellet grill from each of them for equal support.
