    Hot Smoked Salmon!

    Hot smoked two 1 pound salmon filets on the Mak 1 star at 275 deg. Took it to 140-145 deg internal. The filet was seasoned with Zatarans blackened seasoning and I topped mine off with hot sauce. It was smoked with apple pellets. It had a mild smoky flavor that just put the salmon over the top...

    Homemade Slow N Sear-Yankeebbq

    Nice! This is what I did. They are 4 fire bricks that cost $12 all together. I should probably put some aluminum foil down on the indirect side but I keep forgetting lol 10 gauge steel should last and last.

    Kettle smoked wings!

    Smoke flavor was just right on these. I’m getting to a point where I prefer lighter smoke. Too much smoke I can’t taste the rub.

    Kettle smoked wings!

    Did some hickory smoked kettle wings! Still figuring the kettle out. Used only 2 oz of hickory to get a light smoke flavor. Seasoned with Weber’s garlic sriracha rub (highly recommended) and started them off at 275 deg. Half way through I seared them to get the skin crispy and finished them at...

    Reverse seared sirloin tip roast!

    Yes! It was decent sized roast. It it just looked so tiny on the grate lol my dream charcoal grill is a pk 360 but it’s not as big as the Weber 26

    Reverse seared sirloin tip roast!

    Thanks! I didn’t start hitting my mark until I started open lid searing at the end. I’d normally over shoot with closed lid searing when attempting reverse sears in the past.

    Reverse seared sirloin tip roast!

    Still playing with the Weber 26! I marinaded the roast with avocado oil, worsheshire sauce, SPOG, and chili powder. Cooked the roast at 275 deg until internal temp of 130 deg. I then opened the lid and intake all the way open and blew air into the coals to get a hot fire. Within 2 minutes I...

    Smoked then seared pork tenderloin!

    I think they’re a good investment. They perform as well as more expensive grills and can last decades

    Smoked then seared pork tenderloin!

    So I got a new 26 inch kettle! So I put Some rub on it and hickory smoked the tenderloin at around 275 deg until internal of 130 deg then seared at the end! I also used 4 firebricks to create 1/3 hot zone and 2/3 cool zone configuration.

    Graduating from cheap smoker

    Yes 2017 version of flame zone has better grease management, smoke production, and fuel efficiency. Mak 2 star vs loaded down 1 star depends on if you want stainless and the cold smoker box. I don’t cold smoke plus I didn’t want stainless due to the fact I’d have to keep it clean. No wrong...

    Graduating from cheap smoker

    Yes within a few hundred if you add the lower shelf, side shelf, and flame zone.

    Graduating from cheap smoker

    It’s a great cooker! Another couple in your price range to look at is the ys640 or kuma platinum SE but I’m partial to the Mak IF you get the flame zone.
