This has been pretty crazy to not only follow, but be a part of. One week ago I had no intentions of buying any sort of pellet anything. Placed my MAK order on Monday in true Brethren style and couldn't be more excited! Let's get a few more to unlock more prizes!

Remember, only 3 more for an additional $75 in store credit... and 8 more for $100 in store credit. Who else is ready to join the MAK family?

If they release the Mini MAK tomorrow I'M IN! :whoo:

I’ve got at least two more tests to do maybe three, once they’re all done hopefully the MAKnation (or whatever the title) will be up and running and I’ll post all tests, settings, and thoughts in there.


Pretty distinct, huh? I love seeing these apologist biscuit test videos where there are very clear hot spots / sides and the narrator will be like, "So, yeah, pretty even."

We’ll see how the next ones turn out!

First, welcome to the BBQ Brethren. Second, how cool... you get to stop by the factory and do it in person. Congrats and welcome to the MAK family!! Whatcha currently cooking on?

Thanks. I've driven past the factory since they opened. Always wanted one, but timing wasn't right until now. Got a 2* with upper shelf, sear grate, door and wifi. Prior to this my main smoker was a WSM 18 for the last 10 years. I'm looking forward to something that takes a little less babysitting.

I pretty much started out on a Weber Performer then graduated to the WSM 18.5" gateway drug of smokers. :grin:

Congrats on the 2⭐️ :clap:

Love it! Have owned a few WSM’s in my day. Great smokers. That said, welcome to the WONDERFUL world of pellet cooking :)

Well that’s impressive

Yea or nay to this side shelf? Be honest! I have very thick skin. If it's crap say it looks like crap. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...6f3a8d43fa.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...52daf58b65.jpg

I like the second one better...

sudsandswine 03-11-2020 10:16 PM

Looks factory to me, assuming it’s stable enough to hold whatever load you plan to set on it. The rivets or bolts/nuts that protrude through the side look at home with the rest :thumb:

It's 2 pics of the same 9" shelf. I meant to post pics of the 9" and the 13" shelf. Oops!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...c7d3919f9b.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...d0e6cfd2a4.jpg

I still like the second one better, how much weight can it hold?
