I mean even if you don’t grill with it you get faster warm up times, better temp rebound, and better fuel efficiency. I could dig that

The design of it funnels heat up the grate where the food is rather than dispersed throughout the interior. You also get more smoke production at higher temps. Google 2017 Mak flame zone and you will get more details.

By the way... we are awesome at convincing others to empty their wallet on this website lol
Sure are. Imagine, when I started browsing this thread I was pretty set on an 800 dollar Rec Tec. Now I’m close to 3K.

Oh geez, just when I was about to state that these guys need help, you chime in with that comment. Now I am thinking it’s you that needs the help... pellet grills w/ sexy voices [emoji2957]

Lots of pros already mentioned regarding the Funnel Flame Zone. Another thing I have come to really appreciate is how the FFZ keep the direct heat from ever touching/blasting the interior walls of the cooking chamber. If you have a 1 Star, that’s a lot less stress on the exterior powder coated walls of the cooking chamber and if you have a 2 Star you will not experience the “browning” that stainless experiences from high heat. I have had my 2 Star for almost 2 years and have done a lot of high temp grilling. There is absolutely no browning of the stainless. If you look at pics of older 2 Stars (pre FFZ) you can always tell which ones have been grilled on. They look terrible...lol.

It's like putting a Turbo Charger on your MAK 1 Star, plus better fuel economy what's not to like about that, bonus is reverse sears are awesome. :becky:

My only problem with the flame zone on my 2 star is cleaning it. I mean I stopped using it do to the mess. I made a couple of cheese burgers back in the summer and the grill was a mess. Now I just use it for slow cooks and use tinfoil or a pan and use the top rack.

Man, that is fantastic. We made a Turkey on Sunday after Thanksgiving as I went out to the Casinos for an Imax movie and had Italian (Carmines) on Thanksgiving. We usually do this and have dinner with the family on the weekend. I was going to smoke the Turkey, but never did anything like this so I held off. I will be doing this next year. Nice job. I agree about the pellet. I have nothing to prove to anybody. I like to cook and I am just happy with the pellet smoker. Everything turns out great and I am spending my day working on a fire. The wife and I watch BBQ pit masters and other BBQ shows and even the pros have issues. I have seen many of award winning Q guys have problems and screw the whole thing up with over cooking and under cooking. I am not a pro and I do not have time to be one either. I don’t have allot free time so a pellet grill has been a life saver for me. I am planning on getting a gravity fed charcoal smoker next. Looking at a Stumps. Maybe in the spring. Nice to have options.20 pound bird in the FEC-100 for 1.5 hours in Smoke mode at 180 degrees, then about three more hours at 350 degrees in Cook mode. Went uncovered all the way and used a 50/50 blend of BBQ Delite Hickory and Cherry pellets. Plowboy's Yardbird rub all over.
This picture is the bird resting before being devoured. Note the juices accumulating in the pan, it was terrific! :clap2:
Say what you will about pellet poopers, but they do the job, and do it well! Lots of Black birds being posted on Facebook stickburner fan pages. I'll take this everyday!

It should be here by the 6th. I got a full bottom shelf and cord hook as well. I’ll keep you updated.
