Lemonhead78,
I am 71, so not a spring chicken, but handy enough with screwdriver and a few wrenches (the tools to assemble come with the MAK). Got my MAK 2 Star last May. I can tell you it definitely takes 2 people, and I had to ask a golfing buddy to help as my wife would not have been able to help lift, place and hold the main body to attach to the cart portion. Also, the alignment of the holes through which you insert and screw in the bolts is very tight. It took my buddy and me 3 hours to get the main portion assembled, mainly due to the alignment and getting the bolts initially threaded into the corresponding nuts. The nuts are already spot welded to the body, so it is getting the holes for the bolts aligned with them. Most are easy to start, but some are in awkward locations, so that is where we struggled. Perseverance and patience my friend. Beverages help!
The rest of the assembly is fairly easy and straightforward - side shelf/warmer box, front shelf if you ordered one and bottom cabinet door if you ordered one.
Once done, you have one well-built, solid beast of a smoker/grill! Enjoy.
