This might be the best Made in USA product I’ve ever owned. Even the included tools were made here. The hardware, construction, grates, all exceeded my expectations. I’m soooo glad I didn’t go with RecTec. Doing the burn in now.

That is a sweet rig.
I posted another thread but I got a buddy who is working on buying a GMG right now. With Black Friday pricing his Jim Bowie WiFi will only be $100 more than I paid for my lil Tex that was on clearance at Ace for Father’s Day

The Official Pellet Grill Smoker thread.
Oh.... yes one person can assemble the 1 Star alone relatively easily. Just make sure you lock the casters before you attempt to lift it upright or you might...ummm....go for a little ride into your other smoker.

Hello,
Long time follower of this site and I appreciate all the valuable information that is provided. I have read quite a bit on this site and others and have narrowed my choices down to 3 or 4. The Rec Tec Stampede, GMG Jim Bowie, Yoder 640 or a MAK 1 star. I didn't know much about the Mak before reading on this site. The main reason for the GMG is due to the wifi as well as the black Friday special that is running. The Rec Tec seems to be a better smoker than the GMG, but with the understanding that both are imports. Of the two which one would be a better value? I have also looked at the Yoder's and am impressed with the quality, with the drawback that it doesn't have a wifi enabled controller. The MAK looks nice, but seems very small in comparison and not as well built. I know these had been debated at nauseum but would appreciate any insight to consider before making a purchase. |

Mak and Yoder are far and away better built cookers than the other 2 if that matters to you?

Yes, I don't grill much, but I use it for reverse sear regularly. It can certainly grill very well though. I think all the ones I mentioned were in your price range. Pitts and Spitts would be close. Smoke Daddy is well below your range. You need the optional 2 piece diffuser, to make it a great grill though.
