Mak 2 star question

What comes with the MAK work. Now having said that, it's still a GOOD IDEA to have a second (calibrated) therm to verify grate temps in different positions vs the built in one on the MAK, which is located in the back left corner. My 2-Star grate temps run hotter than what the MAK sees.  Not really an issue, you very easily make the adjustment by setting the controller lower to compensate for the difference.

FWIW, I use a ChefAlarm from Thermoworks with an Airprobe & grate clip. While the cheap $5 oven stand up therms are better than nothing, I've found them to vary widely and they change over time as well.  Always good to know your true temps

I don't own a MAK, but I'll bump this and maybe a MAK user will chime in.  

IMO, ya can't ever have too many Mavericks...I have 3.  Even if the MAK's probe works great, it's often useful to have extra probes for multi meat cooks.

Congrats on that new 2 Star...they're very nice rigs!  Be sure to show it off with some action shots when it's delivered...

Happy Smoking!
