Hi, I am looking at Mack Daddy also.  Did you ever find out anything about them?

I've searched high and low for reviews. I can't find anything.

I can tell you this.
I talked to the owner and told him I wanted one. I told him it would be a week or so before I could make it down to pick it up. He told me he had 5 or 6 of the model I was interested in in stock and that it would not be a problem... We'll, I had something unexpected come up and called him back and told him was not going to be able to make the purchase as planned. He cursed me like a dog and told me what a pos I was for backing out. Said he had specialy made one just for me and I was costing him money which was exactly the opposite of what he originally told me. I ended up spending a little more on a Stumps Smoker and it was the best thing I ever did. I would not give him a cent of my money... Just my experience, take it for what it's worth... Marc

Well, I bought one from them. I called and spoke with the owner. He quoted me about $3,000. That was his best price and he said the price was good for a week. He called me a few days after the offer expired. He made me a very low offer because he wanted to get a presence in NJ and asked if I would take calls from perspective customers and give them my opinion. I took the deal. It then took over a month. after he confirmed it was built to get it to me. It came 2:30 AM. The drive was alone but picked up some stranger walking down the street to help unload this 600lb smoker off the truck. I ended up unloading the thing with the drive while the stranger watched. it almost rolled over me coming down the ramp.

once I had it, I had to remove a vent and grind it down so it would slide correctly. The top vent bar warps every time I use the smoke so it isn't very air tight. I've have to sand the grates twice already because they keep rusting. On a positive note, he added several extra grates per my needs and that works great. I make beef jerky on it and it works fine. the smoking only lasts for about 1-2 hours however every where inside looks like it is rusting.
Like I said, he made me a great offer and it's doing what I need. not sure how a long smoke would work.

Don't think it was the best design for me.
