Thank you for the kind words Rob. Happy customers are everything to me so I really do appreciate it. Love the photos!
Are you liking th food on the M1 bytes than the Mak?
I'm on the fence and don't know if I should order a mak or m1
Any advice will help thanks
Just looking at this thread now. This looks like an excellent beast of a cooker you have!
How does the engineering look on the movable coal tray crank? Does it look like it will last and operate easily after some years and a bit of rust and gunk?
Also, how do you find it in terms of ease of use for grilling, compared to a Weber Kettle?
The movable coal tray is solid. Can't imagine having problems anytime soon. I do know that M Grills did recently make 1 change to the unit (mine has the change)...and that is to mount the movable coal tray with stainless hardware vs welding it into place. That way, down the road, if you ever do have an issue, it'll be an easy fix/replacement of part(s).
M1 vs Weber Kettle. Both make for a killer grill. Ease of use? To me, both are user friendly. If all you are after is a grill, save your $$ and go with the kettle. If you want a reverse flow smoker and a sweet grill w/ adjustable charcoal grate... then you will find the M1 to quickly rise to the front of the competition. There's really nothing else like it...I've owned and cooked on a Hasty Bake Gourmet (and kettles)...and like mentioned, there's really nothing else on the market like the M1
Thanks for the write up on the M1! Ordered ours day after Thanksgiving. Can't wait to get it. We added a 1" coupling welded in on bottom of firebox door in case I want to use our IQ120 with it. Also added a probe port in lower part of lid on left side towards hinge to run probes in and it not affect opening of the lid.
