Doesn’t sound unreasonable at all. That said, and I know that not all MAK owners do this... but I really find that MAK’s are happiest when starting each cook with a freshly cleaned fire pot

After last nights cook I wanted to see what the inside of the grill looked like after 16 hours of use. I was curious as to how much ash was generated over that time (temps usually ~250 with about 2hrs at 350 and 1.5 at 400).
Behold, what once was virgin stainless steel is now about as pure as the driven snow.
Flame zone covers/heat diffuser
Diffuser removed showing the grease tray/fire pot cover - relatively little ash (compared to say lump/sticks)
Not much ash in the fire pot, with the dumped pellets that speed up ignition of the next cook
Compared again to a similar amount of lump/sticks the residual ash is nothing
Hello augur
Because of the design of the MAK I didn't need a shop vac to clean up the interior. A dust brush worked just fine to herd the ash into the drip pan.:thumb:

That looks about right! I’ll bet I don’t clean out the belly of my MAK more than 3 times/year. The ash just sits down there and doesn’t harm a thing. I do keep things tidy from the Flame Zone up... but down below I rarely mess with

Having been quarantined these past 2 weeks with a MAK right outside the back door, I decided to step on the scale this morning just to keep tabs on things. Discovered that I have gained 4 lbs in the past 2 weeks. Thanks a lot MAK Grills [emoji37]

That is awesome! Having a houseful of kids keeps me in shape... lol. I keep my weight within a 5lb range. Approaching the top of that range and need to adjust a bit... lol.

My freezer is losing weight. Me, not so much.

I am completely off the rails, not that I was ever on them per say, but they've become a mythical lost city of legend.

Down 5 lbs because I'm not going out to a restaurant lunch every day. And no restaurants on the weekends, either.

Well I’ve put 400 miles on my couch! Ha! Lol. Wish I could get motivated. Damn you Netflix!!

Chuck roasts went on a bit ago. (Yes, I was lazy and I didn't cover the sides with rub!)

Lookin’ good!! To lazy to cover the sides with rub? Guess we’ll have to give you a pass considering you had just emptied all your energy into firing up and stabilizing the smoker... lol ;-)

The smoker was the easy part. It was children, pets, and work all demanding attention.
