How tedious is cleaning out the firepot on the mak?

With so many solid reviews, I might buy a mak 2star first and if I feel like I still need a more dedicated grill, buy a b2 or lsg adjustable.

Hi ECB. It's removable. You take out the FlameZone, pull the pin holding the fire pot in place, dump it out, and put it right back in.

That sounds easy enough. My kamado was always kind of a pain in the ass. Lol

Do you know if bps has 2 star in stock as their site says or do they just drop ship from you?

Have a 1st birthday party coming up and wondering the odds I can get one in time

All grills ship directly from our shop. If you order today you might get one off of the shelf. Otherwise it won't ship until next week.

not tedious at all, it is removable, take about a minute

Thanks Josh.

Might have to chalk up another commission for rwalters haha

When grilling burgers and such, do you pick up any flavor from the pellets? Or is it too hot?

One of the the things holding me back is I wonder if I'll miss that good flavor you get grilling over lump. Not sure if that's from the lump itself or fire kissing the meat.

Well finally pulled the trigger on a mak 2star. After much deliberation, rwalters endorsement speaks a lot to be given he's had so many cookers, and the 2star is what he stuck with.

I'm going in with the mindset if I feel I want something different I can just add an lsg adjustable or maybe even an Mgrills b2. ��

Thanks fellas. I hope so as I do a lot of grilling, far more than smoking, so hopefully it's up to the task

For things like pork loin, chicken thighs, wings etc, do you leave the flame zone open?

 

[rwalters]

Congrats, ECB... and welcome to the MAK family

What options did ya go with? If grilling is your thing, you may want to consider the MAK sear grates. I use them quite often as I grill more than smoke as well

As far as FZ covers on or off... I’d just encourage you to try both ways and see what you prefer. Personally, I almost always grill with the covers removed. That said, there are times that I am cooking at grilling temps, but want more of a roasted finish... and for those times, I’ll leave the covers in place.

Thanks again for all your help.

I'll have to add the sear grate. I did the 3/4 top rack, wifi, cover and I think that's it. Anything else I'm missing?

You’re pretty well set. I do like the lower front cabinet door as it allows me to hide the extras... and I think it just completes the look. Personal opinion.

Get the full grate instead of the 3/4, you can use it as the bottom grate when grilling or doing reverse sears and the bottom grate is a split grate so you can use those as half grates above when needed.

Ok emailed bps. Hopefully he can change it for me.
