Hi All,
I am looking for a pellet grill to replace my Klose offset. I have gotten a lot of good years out of the Klose, but have gotten busy with life and kids and don't ever have the time to use it. My first attempt was the Weber Smokefire, which I will be returning to Lowes this weekend. I am now narrowing in on the Mak 2 star and the Pitts and Spitts 1250 - which leads me to my question:
My biggest concern with the Mak is capacity - I've searched for fully loaded pictures and haven't seen much. However, piecing together various pictures, it appears that it could pretty easily hold two packers (~15lbs) on the bottom and 4 butts (~8lbs) on the top with a full rack. Is that accurate? If so, that is probably as much or more than I would ever cook at a time (I typically do two butts and one packer for larger gatherings at our house).
I'd also appreciate input from Mak owners as to whether the wifi is useful or if you more often just use controls on the grill itself.
Thanks in advance.
