I know you are the MAK mascott on this site. Have you considered getting a heavy D stick burner diffuser for it. I am just curious how well it works for a MAK.

The MAK has what they call the Funnel Flame Zone. Don’t think the heavy D stick burner would work with the MAK design. For $100 I’d give it a shot if I knew it would fit. Not sure I’d use it very often, but no harm in playing

As long as you can remove that "funnel" it should fit. But is there a drip pan for the MAK?

The funnel comes out for cleaning, but is required to be in place for the rest of what you see in the pic. No funnel = no good. The drip pan is what you see in the pic with all the lil holes. When cooking indirect, there are 2 covers that go over the holes. I don’t think there would be a way to make it work with the FFZ setup.

Ah I kind of see what your saying. In that case you are correct. It wont work. You would have to remove all of that and add a drip pan. Its probably possible with some tinkering.


That said, i wonder how much it fires back toward the pot. You could probably stick a chunk of wood on the bottom near the pot and see if it burns. Front, back or the right side looks like it would get hit with enough fire/heat.

I agree. My favorite is cinderblock pit with burned down oak and hickory coaks. The drum is as close as I have found to that.

Yes sir! The way I grew up Q’en hogs with my grandpa. I can still smell it. I miss it.

Darn folks at MAK… how dare they design their grill without taking the Smoke Daddy product lineup into consideration… lol.

Seriously, just drop a wood chunk next to the pot next time you want to cook something in the 275F ish range. Whats the worst that can happen?

Put a mini split in a smoke tube.

No harm in trying! I’ll give it a shot and see what happens. Will probably try w/ a meatloaf as that is the only thing I can think of that comes off the pellet munchers where I wish it had a tad more smoke.
