![]() Nice! Well done video and while I am a bit disappointed by the results, I'm not surprised (I do Brisket on my BGE).
On the bright side, I saw the banner in the background and saw that there is a BBQ place in the Simi Valley that I drive by fairly often. I'll have to stop by and check it out on one of my next trips.

Yes... BBQ HQ is the BBQ store in the background. I wish I lived closer as it seems like an amazing place with owners/staff that have a TON of passion not only for the craft of BBQ but the community they live it.

Honestly, I think that’s just a bunch of marketing hype! All pellet cookers are going to produce the same type of pellet smoke flavor... after all, they are all burning pellets. Although it is not identical to a stick burner flavor profile, it is still very good! Where you will find the difference between pellet cooker‘s is in the amount of smoke they produce. Some manufacturers have these cookers dialed in to a point where the smoke production is quite impressive, while others not so much. This sometimes turns into a silly debate… but I believe the reason you hear so many guys talk about the amazing smoke profile that MAK’s are known to lay down is because of how MAK has programmed the controller to interact with the variable speed fan that they use. I currently cook on a 2019 model and sold my 2017 model to a fellow brethren. The new owner of my 2017 model is actually working to dial the smoke back a bit with more mild pellets. How often do you hear that regarding pellet smokers? Here is a pic of my MAK in action. This was not at start up but rather one of the frequent smoke cycles that it goes through... ![]()

In regard to Maks, aside from the controller one of the main differences I have found is how they actually vent the smoke through slots in the back and sides versus a stack like many have. Just one of the things Ive been ponderin' lately : becky:

![]() Interesting nobody is factoring price.
Meadowcreek - $9995 Yoder - $4000 And I'll optimistically assume his offset can be custom built for between the cost of the Yoder and Meadowcreek. If we're just talking one brisket, which the majority of pharkers cook on a weekend, is it really worth the difference compared to: Kamado Joe - $1200 Weber Kettle W/Slow 'N Sear - $265 ?

Oh yes, I have pondered that many times myself. I can’t help but think it’s another reason for the more pronounced smoke profile that so many report. With rear venting at grate level vs a stack... it’s definitely gonna hold onto smoke longer before exiting. Yes, the smoke seeps out the sides... but it’s still much slower than a wide open stack.

![]() These guys are lucky they didn't test a uds. It would have been game over for all the rest :)
Good video. I'll stick with my set and forget lump charcoal burner

![]() Backyard sized offsets are a lot less money though. You could probably make the same comparison with a Lang 36 which runs <$2000.
