    Mak 1 Star General (2016 model) - Like New - Southern California

    Sorry, edited the post to include the price.   I had been going back and forth between wanting a stick burner and a pellet, and went with the mak.  I had expected it to take 2-3 weeks to ship (as indicated on their website), but it shipped two days after ordering... After ordering, I decided...

    Mak 1 Star General (2016 model) - Like New - Southern California

    $1500.  This is a like-new Mak 1 Star General grill. This is the 2016 model, with the larger surface area. I just purchased it and have only used it once. It has been cleaned, and basically looks like new. It was built 8/2/16 and I received it 8/5/16... so as new as it gets. It works perfectly...

    First Tri-Tip, first qview

    Looks great.  Last time I took the advice of a fellow member, pulled it a couple degrees early, and threw it on a hot grill for a few minutes to char the outside a bit.  Really loved the way it came out.  If you have a gas grill, definitely worth a try.

    Second smoke, questions

    SmokinAl, Thanks for the response.  It seemed like a had a pretty good amount of smoke coming out with just one end lit.  Does having the water pan full effect how much smoke is absorbed, or does it not really make a difference as far as that is concerned?  Do you usually light both ends?  Do...

    Second smoke, questions

    So I did my first smoke the other day on my new MES 40 + AMNS, and I was really happy with the results.  Did Dutch's beans and a rack of baby back ribs with Jeff's rub.  Sorry, too nervous so forgot to take pics, next time! Ended up doing 2-1.75-.75 at 230.  Put SBR on half the ribs the last...

    MES 40" at Sam's, no upcharge for CA and S.C. buyers.

    Just ordered my MES 40" from Sam's and I'm very excited for its arrival. I wanted to let new/potential buyers in California or South Carolina know that in those states, it is illegal for stores to charge an upcharge for non-members.  In this case Sam's usually charges 10% extra for...

    Which gas smoker to buy???

    Same question here.  Saw both of those smokers on sale on a deal site, started doing more research (on this site and others) and am now convinced that I need a smoker to go with my regular grill (Weber Genesis).  Only question is, which?  Not to thread hijack, but I think my questions will help...
